Kenya braced for more violence
Police in Nairobi opened fire on protesters, killing at least five who were storming the parliament in protest of a new finance bill, while the first contingent of Kenyan police arrived in Haiti to launch a peacekeeping mission in the Caribbean country ravaged by gangs. The U.S. surgeon general declared gun violence in the country a public health crisis. And Protein-rich larvae are increasingly being studied for their potential as a sustainable alternative form of protein to meat amid growing hunger in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, of New York, on Tuesday in a Democratic primary that highlighted the party’s deep divisions over the war in Gaza.
With the victory, Latimer has almost certainly ousted one of the most liberal voices in Congress and one of its most outspoken critics of Israel. Bowman has accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians have died in military strikes.
Latimer is a former state legislator who has served as Westchester County executive since 2018.
Bowman had been seeking a third term, representing a district in New York City’s northern suburbs. His defeat is a blow to the party’s progressive wing and a potential cautionary tale for candidates trying to shape their messaging around the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Latimer will be the prohibitive favorite to win in the general election. The district, which includes parts of Westchester and a small piece of the Bronx, is a Democratic stronghold.
