 Hello and welcome to International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world. Our headlines. Nettole rises in South Africa as protests continue after the arrest of Jacob Zuma. U.S. informants among those arrested in the assassination of Jean-Almois Haiti. Argentine union calls for enquiry into Mauritius Marguerite government's armed supplies to believe in coup regime. And in our video section, we take a look at the recent crackdown by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank. In our first story, at least 45 people have died amid the ongoing protests in South Africa. Andres first spread after former President Jacob Zuma handed himself over to prison authorities on July 7th. The 79-year-old politician has been sentenced to 15 months in prison on charges of contempt of court. This was after he defied orders to give evidence in a corruption investigation into his 9-year presidential term. Zuma challenged his sentence during a court hearing on July 12th. However, the judgment of the matter has been reserved. In the meantime, protests and looting have continued in Zuma's home province of Azulunatal and Gauteng. Road blockades were first set up by his supporters in KZN on Friday. Protests soon spread to cities including Johannesburg and Durban and took the form of looting. Police forces have used rubber bullets and stun grenades to disperse crowds and over 750 people have been arrested. Government officials have stated that most deaths have occurred due to stampede. Meanwhile, vaccination sites were shut down in Gauteng in KZN on Monday. This was done just as South Africa faced its third and worst COVID wave. The current unrest is taking place against a backdrop of worsening inequality and rising inflation. The unemployment rate in the country grew to 32.6% in the first quarter of 2021. Poverty levels have also steadily widened since 2015. The results of a recent survey have shown that 20% of households experienced hunger in the last quarter of 2020. These long-standing issues are led to the specific form that the protests are taking. As reported by New Frame, the city of Durban is witnessing mass food riots and not just protests in support of Zuma. Supermarkets have become the primary target of looting and massive amounts of food have been appropriated. By the morning of July 12th, over 200 shopping malls have reportedly been looted. Meanwhile, the military has deployed an additional 2,500 troops to Gauteng and KZN. In our next story, one of the Haitian-American men arrested as a suspect in the assassination of General Moise is an alleged U.S. informant. An official from the Drug Enforcement Administration told Reuters News Agency on July 12th. 55-year-old Joseph Winson and 35-year-old James Solages were arrested by Haitian authorities last week. The DEA has not confirmed which of them was the informant. Meanwhile, a third-person Christian Emmanuel Sanon was also arrested on July 11th. Authorities have alleged that he was a key figure in the assassination. Sanon is a pastor and holds a qualified medical license in Haiti. Police Chief Leon Charles stated that one of the suspects called Sanon after Moise had been killed. Charles further added that a hat with the U.S. DEA logo, 20 boxes of bullets and gun parts were recovered from the house. Two cars and four license plates from the Dominican Republic were also found. Sanon was reportedly in contact with the U.S.-based company called CTU Security. Authorities have stated that the company recruited a suspect in the killing. Sanon flew to Haiti in June and was accompanied by several of the hired gunmen. Authorities have stated that 28 people were involved in Moise's assassination. 18 Colombian and 3 Haitian mercenaries have been arrested so far. Another fire has stayed at large and at least 3 have been killed. The Haitian-American suspects alleged that they had been hired to arrest Moise and not kill him. They also stated that they had been hired as translators for the Colombian mercenaries. Meanwhile, Colombian Defense Minister Diego Molano stated that the captured gunmen were retired members of the military. However, a journalist has reported that at least 6 are active Army personnel and 2 are sergeants. We now go to Argentina where trade unions are demanded an inquiry into the administration of former President Mauricio Márquez. This follows news that his government supplied non-lethal weapons and ammunition to Bolivian coup leaders. The news was made public by Bolivian Foreign Minister Rogelio Maita on July 8. He showed a letter addressed to the Argentine Ambassador from the former head of the Bolivian Air Force. The letter thanked the Ambassador for the delivery of 40,000 cartridges, tear gas and gas grenades. It was dated now on 13th 2019, just 3 days after the coup that ousted progressive President Ivor Morales. Defense Minister Edmondo Novilo also confirmed this weekend that the Anais regime had authorized the entry of Argentine military and paramilitary personnel. The Central Union of Argentine Workers or CTAs argued that Márquez knew of the coup against Morales in advance. Foreign Minister Maita also denounced the complicity of the Márquez administration in the violent suppression of protests. In particular, he pointed to the passickers in Saqaba on November 15 and Sencata on November 19. People had taken to the streets to protest the coup regime in Anais. In retaliation, security forces opened fire killing a total of 27 people and injuring several others. In total, at least 36 people were killed by the Anais regime during the 2009 coup. The CTA argued that the role of the Márquez government in this violence places them within the framework of crimes against humanity. Meanwhile, a Ministry of Security report revealed that the amount of arms and ammunition sent by the government exceeded what was mentioned in the letter. Deputy of the Movement towards Socialism Party has stated that the Parliamentary Commission will be formed to look into the matter. And for our final story, we look at the ongoing crackdown on the occupied West Bank. Protests against the custodial killing of activist Nisar Banath have been heavily repressed by Israeli-Palestinian authority forces. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have carried out a series of raids and arrests. The headquarters of the Union of Agriculture Workers Committee was raided and sealed on July 7. On the same day, the executive director of the Union Health Work Committees was also detained. On Wednesday, July 7, Israeli forces launched a series of violent raids across the West Bank. Heavily armed Israeli soldiers raided the headquarters of the Union of Agriculture Workers Committees, UAWC, and Adbireh, outside of Ramallah. They seized computers and sealed the entrance and ordered its closure under military notice for six months. Israeli forces also arrested 11 activists including prominent Palestinian healthcare expert and the executive director of the Union of Health Work Committees, UHWC, Dr. Shatha Odeh. The UHWC itself faced a similar raid on June 9 and was also closed under military notice. The People's Health Movement condemned Dr. Odeh's arrest in the strongest terms and demanded her immediate, unconditional release. Dr. Odeh and the UHWC are at the forefront of demanding equitable treatment and better services for Palestinians under occupation. Student activists from Birzate University, Le'an Nasser, was also arrested on Wednesday, July 7. The latest crackdown against activists and civil society organizations in Palestine has been met with sharp condemnation from organizations within Palestine and internationally. The International People's Assembly released a statement on July 9 condemning the repressive action against the UHWC. The international platform stated, we stand in solidarity with UHWC and with the Palestinian struggle for liberation. The landless rural workers movement of Brazil, MST, also condemned the closure of UHWC, their partner organization in Palestine. UHWC Committees in Gaza organized a protest to reject the closure of the office in Albiray. The UHWC is an internationally recognized organization and part of international networks like the Via Campesina. Following Israel's bombardment of Gaza in early May, the organization launched a campaign along with the Via Campesina to support small farmers, fishers and others in the food production sector in Gaza. They highlighted that the bombing campaign caused around 27 million dollars in damages including greenhouses, agricultural lands and poultry farms. Despite the shutdowns, the UHWC, the UHWC and the other Palestinian people's movements and organizations that have been targeted in these repressive actions have vowed to continue their work. That's all we have time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.
