 GOVERNMENT OF RIVERS STATE   PRESS STATEMENT  MY DECISION TO WITHDRAW FROM THE RIVERS  STATE  GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARIES  Fellow Rivers People, After deep reflection and extensive consultations with my family, friends, and associates, I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to withdraw from the APC gubernatorial primaries. I do so with a full heart and with a firm commitment to support whoever emerges as the candidate of our great party. Leadership is ultimately about sacrifice.

HAITI GANGS UNLEASHING DRONES TO COUNTER KENYA-LED POLICE-UN. (PHOTO).


 Haiti gangs unleashing drones to counter Kenya-led police - UN


Haiti's powerful gangs are digging trenches, using drones and stockpiling weapons as they change tactics to confront the Kenyan-led police force deployed to wrestle back government control, a UN report has said.


The annual report said violence had spiked with more than 3,600 homicides and 1,100 kidnappings between January and June, and 85 percent of the capital Port-au-Prince now ruled by the gangs, AFP reported.


Gang leaders have strengthened defenses for the zones they control and placed gas cylinders and Molotov cocktail bombs ready to use against police operations.


Human shields are another new tactic, with civilians prevented from evacuating, trapped in their homes and killed if they try to escape.


Haiti has for years been beset by political, humanitarian and security crises, but its situation degenerated this year when armed gangs launched coordinated attacks and forced the prime minister to resign.


A UN-backed international support mission has been launched to prop up Haiti's police force, though it has yet to reach its intended size.


Barbeque's influence


The report said an alliance between several gangs was largely holding, but one notorious gang leader, Jimmy Cherizier, known as Barbeque, had lost influence.


It also noted gangs were recruiting child soldiers and expanding territory to increase revenue from kidnappings, extortion and drug trafficking.
