Jungle between Colombia and Panama becomes highway for migrants from around the world

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 08:44:24 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Once nearly impenetrable for migrants heading north from Latin America, the jungle between Colombia and Panama this year became a speedy but still treacherous highway for hundreds of thousands of people from around the world.Driven by economic crises, government repression and violence, migrants from China to Haiti decided to risk three days of deep mud, rushing rivers and bandits. Enterprising locals offered guides and porters, set up campsites and sold supplies to migrants, using color-coded wristbands to track who had paid for what.Enabled by social media and Colombian organized crime, more than 506,000 migrants — nearly two-thirds Venezuelans — had crossed the Darien jungle by mid-December, double the 248,000 who set a record the previous year. Before last year, the record was barely 30,000 in 2016. Dana Graber Ladek, the Mexico chief for the United Nation’s International Organization for Migration, said migration flows through the region this year were “histo...

Japan and ASEAN bolster ties at summit focused on security, economy amid China tensions

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 08:44:24 GMT

TOKYO (AP) — Leaders from Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, at a special summit on Sunday marking their 50th anniversary of friendship, adopted a joint vision that emphasizes security and economic cooperation while respecting the rule of law amid growing tensions with China in regional seas.Ties between Japan and ASEAN used to be largely based on Japanese assistance to the developing economies, in part due to lingering bitterness over Japan’s wartime actions. But in recent years the ties have focused more on security amid China’s growing assertiveness in the South China Sea, while Japan’s postwar pacifist stance and trust-building efforts have fostered friendlier relations.The leaders, in a joint statement, called for strengthening their “mutually beneficial” partnership and working together for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific. They also called to pursue greater prosperity for the region and to promote people exchanges among the younger generations, Kishi...

DETROIT — Almost nothing good happened to Denver over the course of a 42-17 shellacking by the Lions here on Saturday night.But the Broncos also are still very much alive in the AFC postseason picture.Sure, a win would have bolstered Denver’s credentials, but if they were going to lose a game over their final five, this was the one to lose.The challenge, then, is to forget this one ever happened.Except, not right away, defensive tackle D.J. Jones insists.“No, not necessarily,” he said after the game. “We’ll put this behind us tomorrow as a unit, but it’s not easy to just move on. It’s a loss.“We’ll correct it, then move on.”The 24-hour rule applies regardless of how thoroughly you get beat down or how critical the final three games of the season are.Here’s a clean picture of the Broncos’ situation: According to the New York Times’ playoff prediction models, Denver’s chances Saturday night dropped from 42% to 31%.

New information released about 3 Israeli hostages killed by Israeli troops

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 08:44:24 GMT

Three Israeli hostages who were mistakenly shot by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip had been waving a white flag and were shirtless when they were killed, military officials said Saturday, in Israel's first such acknowledgment of harming any hostages in its war against Hamas.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a nationwide address that the killings “broke my heart, broke the entire nation’s heart,” but he indicated no change in Israel’s intensive military campaign. “We are as committed as ever to continue until the end, until we dismantle Hamas, until we return all our hostages,” he said.Anger over the mistaken killings is likely to increase pressure on the Israeli government to renew Qatar-mediated negotiations with Hamas over swapping more of the remaining captives, which Israel says number 129, for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel.
