No início deste mês, Juliette Dorson, uma profissional de catering haitiana de 50 anos, foi baleada enquanto trabalhava em um evento em Porto Príncipe. Seu sócio, Luc, morreu no ataque. Ela sobreviveu, mas por pouco. Para os moradores da capital do Haiti, esse tipo de horror é tragicamente rotineiro. Gangues agora controlam quatro quintos da cidade, portando não apenas pistolas e fuzis de assalto, mas também fuzis de precisão e metralhadoras alimentadas por correias de projéteis.

Reading Time: 5 minutesRIO DE JANEIRO — Earlier this month, Juliette Dorson, a 50-year-old Haitian caterer, was shot while working an event in Port-au-Prince. Her business partner, Luc, died in the attack. She survived, but barely. For residents of Haiti’s capital, such horrors are tragically routine. Gangs now control four-fifths of the city, wielding not just pistols and assault rifles but sniper rifles and belt-fed machine guns. Few of these weapons are made locally.

Multiple, overlapping futures for aid are emerging, with a hybrid of five key trends most likely. Navigating the shifting landscape of global aid will demand strategic agility and the forging of new and unconventional coalitions. The global development industry is facing a reckoning.

No início deste ano, a Polícia Federal brasileira revelou uma complexa rede criminosa que se infiltrou nas redes de distribuição de combustíveis do país. O que pareciam ser postos de gasolina comuns eram, na verdade,pontos de uma grande máquina de lavagem de dinheiro utilizando diesel e etanol para transformar dinheiro sujo em recursos, aparentemente, legítimos.

#Haití registra la tasa de homicidios más alta del mundo. Entre 2018 y 2023, casi tres cuartas partes de las armas de fuego recuperadas en el #Caribe provenían de estados estadounidenses como Florida, Nueva York y Virginia. @ELTIEMPO @igarape_org https://t.co/TDrpKdL6Q3
Move over Gulf of America. #Brazil just released the first ever officially sanctioned "Global South" map - a new Mapa Mundi. A reminder that "north-up" is just a convention and invitation to questions whose perspective(s) dominate our mental maps. @ibgecomunica @igarape_org https://t.co/qXSZTc7uqP
