🇰🇪🇭🇹🇺🇸Kenyan police to arrive in Haiti this week, US State Department says
The first Kenyan police officers assigned to tackle rampant gang violence in Haiti are leaving Kenya on Tuesday and are set to arrive this week, the U.S. State Department said on Monday.
The deployment has been repeatedly delayed by court challenges and a deterioration of security in Haiti, which in March forced former Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign.
Kenyan President William Ruto on Monday held a departure ceremony for 400 officers who will be the first contingent to deploy to Haiti. Another group of around 600 officers will join the first contingent later.

🇨🇴 Colombia launches talks with rebel group led by fighters who returned to arms after 2016 peace deal
Colombia launched peace talks with the Second Marquetalia rebel group on Monday. The talks were announced in Caracas, Venezuela in a ceremony that included government delegates and rebel leaders who signed a 2016 peace deal but later took up arms again after saying they had become disillusioned with the implementation of the deal.
🗣 “We want to participate in politics without resorting to the use of weapons,” said the Second Marquetalia’s lead negotiator Walter Mendoza. “The condition for that will be for the government to fulfill its side of the accords.”
With an estimated 2,000 fighters, the Second Marquetalia is one of the nation’s smaller rebel outfits.

🇧🇷Brazil’s top court decriminalizes cannabis for personal use
Brazil’s Supreme Court has voted to decriminalize possession of cannabis for personal use.
While this ruling does not legalize cannabis for personal use, it may aim to reduce the penalties for possession.
The decision was delivered on Tuesday, with eight of the eleven top court judges voting in favor of keeping possession of small amounts of cannabis as an “illicit act” that does not warrant criminal prosecution.
The judges are set to discuss the amount of cannabis that distinguishes a casual user from a trafficker, with proposed thresholds of up to 60 grams.

🇺🇸🇭🇳Honduras ex-President Hernandez faces long prison term after US drug conviction
Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez will be ordered to spend decades in prison when a U.S. judge sentences him later on Wednesday for his conviction on drug and firearm offenses.
Hernandez, 55, faces a mandatory minimum 40-year prison sentence after a Manhattan jury found he accepted millions of dollars in bribes to protect U.S.-bound cocaine shipments belonging to traffickers he once publicly proclaimed to combat. Hernandez led Honduras from 2014 to 2022.
Federal prosecutors have urged U.S. District Judge Kevin Castel to sentence Hernandez to life in prison, to send a message to other traffickers and their accomplices in government.

🇵🇪🇨🇳Peru resolves Chinese port spat as President prepares to meet Xi
Peru and a Chinese state-owned company resolved a dispute over the business model of a massive $1.3 billion port ahead of a meeting between the presidents of both countries this week.
China’s Cosco Shipping has been building the Chancay port near Lima expecting to be its exclusive operator when it opens in November. But government lawyers sued to challenge that status earlier this year, saying the facility should be available to other companies offering services such as loading and unloading shipping containers.
🗣 “Their exclusivity is now a fact and the issue of the lawsuit is history,” Juan Carlos Paz, head of Peru’s port authority, said in an interview. Government lawyers formally asked a judge to dismiss the civil lawsuit on Monday, he added.

🇬🇾Guyana selects former Exxon exec's firm to engage with Exxon in gas project
A newly formed company headed by a former Exxon Mobil executive was selected to support the Guyana government and Exxon to create a new independent natural gas development in the country, Guyana's Ministry of Natural Resources said.
Fulcrum LNG offered "the most comprehensive and technically sound proposal" among 17 bidders, the government said in a statement. The ministry has engaged the company along with Exxon to begin the project, with ongoing discussions in a preliminary stage, it said.
Fulcrum LNG was founded by Jesus Bronchalo, who spent two decades at Exxon, recently as a vice president based in Guyana. Bronchalo left Exxon in the first half of 2023. The government of Guyana said that Bronchalo's past "relationship with Exxon was not seen as presenting a conflict of interest, since he had severed all ties with said company."
