Aid workers relay tales of complete devastation in Vanuatu. Four civilians in Thailand are headed to a military court. Plus the leader of a militant group is captured in the Philippines.
More bad news from Vanuatu
The old story of how things go from bad to worse, unfortunately seems to be running true in Vanuatu, where some aid workers are calling it the worst disaster they’ve seen.
Four Thais face military court
Ever since the junta assumed control of Thailand, one of the orders issued following the coup barred public gatherings. Now, four who defied that order aren’t facing trial in civil courts, but perhaps in a military court.
Philippine Army arrests splinter group leader
The Philippine Army can cross one more militant off its list. Mohammad Ali Tambako, founder and leader of the Justice Islamic Movement was apprehended. Will this lead to an end to the fighting that has killed 50,000 and displaced 80,000?
