The Argentine Army arrives in Rosario for logistical support in the fight against drug trafficking

Troops of the Argentine Army and Navy arrived this Thursday in the city of Rosario to provide logistical support to the federal forces deployed since the beginning of the week in the operation designed by the national and provincial Executive to combat “narcoterrorism”.

Twenty-two vehicles with troops from both bodies of the Armed Forces entered that town in the province of Santa Fe (center-east) that has experienced in recent weeks a resurgence of violence associated with drug trafficking, with the death of four citizens randomly attacked by hitmen.

According to the press by the Undersecretary of Federal Intervention of the Ministry of National Security, Federico Angelini, it is “a very important logistical support for greater coverage and presence, so that the neighbors see and feel safer and that when the criminals leave their homes they see that we are there.”

Military vehicles arrived around 12:30 local time (15:30 GMT) at the Güemes detachment of the National Gendarmerie in Rosario and, according to the authorities present, this presence will soon be complemented by helicopters, trucks and drones.

These troops are the first of the Armed Forces who join the 100 gendarmes who arrived the day before and the 450 who arrived between Monday and Tuesday, all members of the federal forces deployed by the Argentine Ministry of Security for the fight against drug trafficking.

For his part, the mayor (mayor) of Rosario, Pablo Javkin, stressed that the authorities are in a “battle to win normality,” because the bands sought to “infuse terror” with their latest actions.

Javkin commented that, in addition to the murder of two taxi drivers, a bus driver and a gas station worker, there have been “threats by phone and attempts to alter school activity.”

Despite the security device, one of the citizen complaints in recent days was the low police presence in the streets, after the announcement made on Monday by the minister, Patricia Bullrich, accompanied by the head of Defense, Luis Petri, and the governor of Santa Fe, Maxi Pullaro.

Angelini justified this Thursday that “they are not going to see (in the streets) a gendarme, a prefect, a federal policeman with a helmet just for them to see it,” since he argued: “We came to Rosario to pacify her, so that the people of Rosario can be better.”

The mayor of Rosario highlighted the work of the unified crisis committee, which includes the three levels of Administration (national, provincial, local) and recalled that, in the current situation, Governor Pullaro “is installed in the city.”

However, he did not want to take stock of the situation because, he said, “this is day by day and there are many things at the same time.”

Rosario, the third most populous city in Argentina, has been living for several years punished by the violence associated with drug trafficking. In recent weeks, in retaliation for the protocol of action in prisons that imitate the ‘Bukele style’, the town has recorded several murders of citizens with no links to organized crime.

At least nine injured, including two children, in new US bombings in Yemen

At least nine people, including two children, were injured this Wednesday in a new wave of bombings carried out by the United States against at least four cities in Yemen under the control of the Houthi rebels, reported media affiliated with the Iranian-backed Shiite movement.

Al Masirah, spokesman for the Houthis, reported that at least “seven women and two children were injured in the US attack” in the Al Thawra district of Sana, the capital of Yemen controlled by the insurgents since 2014.

According to the chain, the bombings also targeted “the surroundings of the city of Saada”, north of the capital; the northern town of Hazm, in the governorship of Al Jawf; and a district of the city of Al Bayda, in the center of the country.

At least two missiles hit the capital’s neighborhood of Al Jeraf, on the road that leads to Saná airport, according to EFE.

Large columns of smoke and a large fire could be observed from different points of the city, while ambulance teams and firefighters went to the scene of the attack, which according to witnesses was aimed at a deposit.

Al Masirah added that one of the attacks hit “a celebration hall under construction in a residential neighborhood in the Al Thawra district” and, in Al Jawf, destroyed a farm and killed several head of cattle.

This new wave of bombings came minutes after US President Donald Trump warned that Iran must completely and immediately cease its support for the Houthis, not just reduce it, and threatened the latter that they will be “completely annihilated” if the attacks against Israel and the Red Sea do not cease.

The Republican leader estimated on his social network, Truth Social, that “tremendous damage” has already been inflicted on the Houthis and stressed that “the situation will progressively worsen.”

At the weekend, the United States began a series of airstrikes against different cities controlled by the Houthis in northern and central Yemen, as well as in the capital, Saná, bombings that resulted in more than fifty deaths.

China celebrates the call between Trump and Putin and affirms that dialogue is the “only way out” of the war in Ukraine

China said on Thursday that the dialogue is “the only way out” to the war in Ukraine and held the talks held on Wednesday by US President Donald Trump and Russia President Vladimir Putin, who agreed to start “negotiations immediately” to end the conflict.

“Russia and the United States are influential powers and we welcome them strengthening the dialogue. Regarding Ukraine, dialogue is the only way out of the crisis. From the beginning, Chinese President Xi Jinping has advocated for peace talks,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press conference.

The spokesman added that China “will continue to make efforts” for peace and that it will play “a constructive role” to end the European conflict.

He also reiterated that China supports “any effort that leads to peace” and emphasized that the Asian country hopes to “maintain communication with all parties” for this purpose.

The possibility of Russia and Ukraine starting peace negotiations for the first time in almost three years of war multiplies after that call between Trump and Putin, to which we must add the one made by the American with the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky.

This Friday, the US Vice President, J.D. Vance, will meet on the margins of the Munich Security Conference, which will be attended by China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, China has maintained an ambiguous position from which it has called for respect for “the territorial integrity of all countries”, including Ukraine, and attention to the “legitimate concerns of all countries”, in reference to Russia.

Beijing has opposed “unilateral” sanctions against Moscow and advocated for “a de-escalation and a political solution”. However, the West has accused China of supporting the Russian military campaign, something it has always denied, and of supplying Putin with key components he needs to produce weapons.

In addition, European countries have repeatedly asked Chinese leader Xi Jinping to use his influence on Putin to end the conflict, but the Asian country has given priority to strengthening its relations with Russia, a country from which it imports oil and gas at a lower cost.

China has limited itself to presenting peace initiatives that have had a lukewarm reception in the West, such as the plan it presented last year together with Brazil that did not include the withdrawal of Russian troops and that was rejected by Kiev.

More than 400,000 migrants passed the Darién in 2024, according to the Colombian Ombudsman’s Office

More than 400,000 migrants, most of them Venezuelans, passed through the Darién Tapón, the natural border of Colombia and Panama, reported this Friday by the Ombudsman’s Office in 2024, which warned about the high risks of sexual and gender violence that women and adolescents can suffer.

According to the monitoring carried out by the Ombudsman’s Office, in 2024 there were a total of 400,612 migrants crossing the Urabá and Darién region in Colombia.

The figure was known in a bilateral hearing of the ombudsman, Iris Marín, with the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants, Madi Gehad.

The Ombudsman’s Office detailed in a statement that most migrants are from Venezuela (302,185), followed by those from Ecuador (22,785), Colombia (17,529), Haiti (17,329), China (12,214) and India (6,927).

Of this total, 126,151 are women, 195,369 men and 72,092 boys, girls, adolescents and young people.

The Ombudsman’s Office also warned of the “special vulnerability of women, girls and adolescents, who face high risks of sexual and gender violence.”

In addition, they found deficiencies in the mechanisms to verify the kinship of minors with accompanying adults, increasing the danger of human trafficking and exploitation.

The entity highlighted the return of migrants by the National Border Service of Panama (Senafront), which has forced many people to use more dangerous routes.

Added to this is the recent issuance in Panama of a decree imposing sanctions on those who enter irregularly from Colombia, which could aggravate the humanitarian crisis at the border.

The National Migration Service (SNM) reported on February 1 that the flow of irregular migrants entering through the dangerous Darién jungle marked a “historic” drop of 94% last January, compared to the same period in 2024.

According to the comparative figures published by the entity, in January of this year 2,158 migrants entered the Darién, compared to the 34,839 who did so in the same period of 2024.
