Large anti-government demonstrations were held across Mexico in the wake of the disappearance of 43 student teachers abducted in Iguala, Guerrero, in September
The forced disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers college in Mexico has catapulted the security crisis that the US’s southern neighbours are living into northern headlines. However, the majority of English-language news accounts have failed to provide a deeper context concerning the failed war on drugs and the use of forced disappearances as a repressive state tactic, and employ language that often criminalizes the disappeared students.

Aamal sat on a chair, at times crying, as she, her daughter, Palestinian residents, activists and journalists, and internationals from CPT and ISM questioned the soldiers who were carrying out the illegal act.

Last week, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) faxed and sent letters to every member of the Republican National Committee (RNC) regarding an upcoming trip to Jerusalem being organized by RNC Chair Reince Priebus.
The letters expressed concern about the organization paying for the trip, the American Family Association (AFA), which the SPLC has listed as an anti-LGBT hate group since 2010.

The Houthi fighters, who control the capital Saana, entered the compound housing President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi’s main office after a brief clash with security guards.
UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon told an emergency Security Council meeting that he was “gravely concerned” over reports of the apparent bid to overthrow Hadi, and urged “all sides to immediately cease all hostilities, exercise maximum restraint, and take the necessary steps to restore full authority to the legitimate government institutions.”
Witnesses said the militia fighters also clashed with troops protecting the president’s residence, shelling the building after having seized several armoured vehicles parked in front of it.
