In Haiti, 5 915 people were killed in 2025 (compared to 5 601 in 2024). The national homicide rate got to 49.8 per 100 000 people, and Port-au-Prince, which is home to about a quarter of the population, reached nearly 140 per 100 000 people, ranking it among the most violent cities in the world.
Territory, people, and physical power (security forces like police and army) are the inevitable prerequisites for creating a state. The ethnic Albanians were, at the beginning, intruders into the autonomous province of South-West Serbia – Kosovo-Metochia (KosMet), who constituted a small minority there (in 1455, only 2%).

One of the wider consequences of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran has been a rise in reported attacks on perceived ‘Zionist’ and ‘American’ targets in Europe.

Pendant douze ans, par des voies top secrètes, le chancelier allemand a transféré 20 milliards de shekels à Israël. Objectif : financer le réacteur nucléaire de Dimona et assurer l’avenir du pays.
En mars 1960 à New York Adenauer et Ben Gourion s’entendent secrètement. “Une obligation morale, … un moyen d’expier les crimes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale”. Mais un nazi éminent reconverti était chef de cabinet du chancelier et d’autres au gouvernement. Et si Eichman en parlait à son procès?…
Iran ‘Gone Wild’ in Dimona: Is Tehran Using Israel-US Madman Doctrine?
The wording is familiar. The urgency is always absolute. The implication is unmistakable: Israel is not choosing war. It is forced into it.
