Peru ministers quit as interim leader delays US F-16 deal amid political turmoil

Two Peruvian cabinet-level ministers resigned after interim President Balcazar postponed the decision to buy 24 Lockheed Martin F-16 jets, saying the next elected government should decide on such a large purchase. Defence Minister Carlos Diaz and Foreign Minister Hugo de Zela cited fundamental disagreement with delaying a national-security decision. The move comes amid Peru's political instability and a stalled presidential race, drawing US pushback and noting alternative offers from Dassault and Saab. The deal, approved in 2024, remains tied to the transition to the next administration.

Pakistan Parliament Dissolves for Election, Ex-PM Imran Khan Absent

Pakistan's parliament is set to dissolve, paving the way for an interim government to oversee an election that will exclude former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Khan, who has faced over 200 legal cases in recent months, was ousted from power last year and subsequently jailed for graft. The country's economy remains in a dire state, with high inflation, unemployment, and foreign debt. There is speculation that the election may be delayed as the government needs time to redraw constituency boundaries. The military, a powerful force in Pakistani politics, plays a significant role in elections. Khan's arrest and crackdown on his party have sparked protests and heightened political tensions. The interim government faces the challenge of staying impartial in a highly polarized political environment.

Ethiopia forms Tigray interim government for peace plan.

Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has established an interim administration for the northern region of Tigray, appointing Tigray People's Liberation Front delegate Getachew Reda as head of the interim administration, as part of a peace plan to end the war there. The lack of an interim government has been hampering the humanitarian response across Tigray, where millions are in dire need of assistance. The move comes a day after Ethiopia's parliament voted to remove the TPLF from a list of "terrorist" organisations.

Ethiopia removes Tigray's TPLF party from terrorism list and continues UN-ordered abuses probe.

Ethiopia's parliament has removed the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) from the list of terrorist organizations, a move that is seen as a significant step towards establishing an interim local government after a two-year civil war. The TPLF led the northern region into war with the federal government in late 2020 and was designated a terrorist group in May 2021. The delisting is a prerequisite to the TPLF's participation in an interim government, which the party nominated its spokesman, Getachew Reda, last week to lead.
