Grenadian Member of Parliament Charles Peter David has been officially licensed as a local agent for Grenada's Citizenship by Investment programme, now called the Investment Migration Agency. A government gazette confirmed his authorization to conduct business under the programme, granting him license number GCBI-LA-046.

The WIN party, led by businessman Azruddin Mohamed, is threatening legal action against National Assembly Speaker Manzoor Nadir. The party demands he convene a meeting for non-governmental members of parliament to elect a Leader of the Opposition. Attorney Siand Dhurjon issued a formal letter stating that failure to act within fourteen days would result in a Supreme Court case.
Dhurjon referenced a prior request submitted by multiple opposition MPs during Parliament's first sitting. He stated the Speaker declined to hold the meeting that day, offering an ambiguous response about a future date. The attorney argued that this delay is unjustified and undermines the constitutional process.
The WIN party expressed serious concern over the...
Hundreds of people in the Port-au-Prince commune of Tabarre were forced to abandon their homes following armed assaults. The International Organization for Migration confirmed that these attacks displaced over 600 individuals, with most finding shelter with local families. This violence reflects a broader deterioration of security in the capital.
Gang leader Jimmy Chérizier, known as Barbecue, publicly warned residents to remain indoors. He stated that his Viv Ansanm coalition needed the streets to be clear for a confrontation with police forces. His message followed a significant security operation in Tabarre and Croix-des-Bouquets targeting the 400 Mawozo gang, which resulted in several gang casualties and weapon seizures...

Businessman Kudakwashe Tagwirei, reportedly Mnangagwa's preferred candidate, is publicly building a political base. He is focusing his messaging on economic hardships and poverty, a deliberate shift from traditional liberation-era rhetoric. His approach targets the daily struggles of ordinary citizens.
Meanwhile, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga, once considered a frontrunner, finds his influence diminishing. Analysts observe that Chiwenga remains confined to private discussions while Tagwirei conducts public rallies. Mnangagwa’s consolidation of power over state and security institutions has reportedly...
