Wickremesinghe’s replacement, Mahinda Rajapaksa, is a former president appointed by his successor and ex-rival for the top job. The political crisis in Sri Lanka is threatening to spiral out of control and undermine stability in South East Asia.

READ MORE Tonala, Chiapas, Mexico  – Resting in the shade of a row of trees, Orvelina Lizeth Melendez reached into her purse, pulled out a small, clear plastic bag and carefully removed her husband’s death certificate. The tattered paper travelled nearly 1400km with her from her hometown of Tegucigalpa, Honduras to Tonala in Chiapas, Mexico. “They killed him right in front of me,” Melendez said, recalling the moment gang members burst into her family’s home more than three years ago. Melendez was pregnant and she and her four children were at home asleep at the time. The death certificate includes very little information. Fredis de Jesus Ferrera Lemus. Age 31. National identification number. Parent’s names. Date and location of death. The cause of death is listed as “violent”, and underneath it, the document briefly expands on the cause, stating that it was craneofacial trauma from a gunshot wound.

READ MORE Emmanuel Macron se dit “frappé”, dans un entretien au quotidien Ouest-France publié mercredi, par la ressemblance entre la situation actuelle en Europe et celle des années 1930, et appelle à “être lucide” et à “résister”. “Je suis frappé par la ressemblance entre le moment que nous vivons et celui de l’entre-deux-guerres”, indique le chef de l’Etat français dans des propos tenus en marge d’une visite d’une exposition consacrée à Georges Clemenceau, chef du gouvernement français au début du XXème siècle. “Dans une Europe qui est divisée par les peurs, le repli nationaliste, les conséquences de la crise économique, on voit presque méthodiquement se réarticuler tout ce qui a rythmé la vie de l’Europe de l’après Première Guerre mondiale à la crise de 1929”, estime le p...

READ MORE La justice péruvienne a ordonné mercredi le placement immédiat en détention préventive, pour une durée de 36 mois, de la dirigeante de l’opposition Keiko Fujimori, accusée d’avoir reçu des fonds illégaux de l’entreprise brésilienne Odebrecht, a annoncé un juge. Sur demande d’un procureur anticorruption, le juge Richard Concepción Carhuancho a estimé qu’existait le “soupçon grave” que Keiko Fujimori, 43 ans, dirigeait une “organisation criminelle de fait qui s’est enkystée dans le parti” fujimoriste, qui blanchissait de l’argent d’origine illégale, et qu’existait “un danger élevé de fuite” de sa part. “Le seul moyen dans son cas est indubitablement la prison préventive”, a ajouté le magistrat.

East Gas, the main beneficiary of plans to export Israeli natural gas to Egypt ’s private consortium Dolphinus Holdings via the EMG pipeline, is a private company, most of whose shares are held by Egypt’s intelligence service, says the report. To really understand Israel and the Middle East – subscribe to Haaretz “The gas import deal — scheduled to come into effect early next year — found that the repeated claims by Egyptian government officials that the venture is a purely private sector affair wholly outside the ‘government framework’ are misleading at best,” stated Mada Masr in its report. The intelligence service is slated to receive 80% of East Gas’s income, it states. Thank you for signing up. We’ve got more newsletters w...

READ MORE The Medical Council of Canada says it’s reviewing its practices after being criticized online for prohibiting women from bringing tampons or menstrual pads into exam rooms while writing multi-hour tests. Dr. Michelle Cohen, advocacy chairperson with Canadian Women in Medicine, said it’s “sexist and unfair” to confiscate feminine hygiene products from exam takers, or to require them to ask exam supervisors for access to them in the middle of a test. “It’s just a completely disgusting overreach and outrageously invasive,” Cohen said in an interview from Brighton, Ont., where she works as a family doctor. Cohen launched a petition calling for change, saying that making menstrual products available in washrooms doesn’t adequately solve the problem because exam writers are entitled to use the product of their choice. While women now outnumber men in medical schools, she said gender parity has not worked its way up to leadership ...
