Hundreds of supporters of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol have taken to the streets near his Seoul residence, clashing with police in an effort to prevent his arrest. Yoon, facing an arrest warrant over his brief martial law declaration, has vowed to “fight until the end.”
Yoon considers the arrest warrant “invalid” and is resisting arrest, urging his supporters to “fight together to protect this country from anti-state forces.” The situation remains tense, with uncertainty surrounding when and how police might attempt the arrest, especially given the presidential security service’s prior interference with investigators. The service had blocked access to Yoon’s office and official residence despite a search warrant.
The Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), leading a joint investigation team that includes police and prosecutors, has until January 6 to execute the arrest warrant.

On this day in 1804, Haiti declared its independence after a slave uprising turned into a revolution that crushed the French colonizers.
After kicking out the French, the former colony was renamed “Haiti”, the Indigenous Arawak name for the island, and would become the first free Black republic in the world as well as the first nation in the Western Hemisphere that abolished slavery.
The independence of Haiti was a major blow to French colonialism and inspired revolutionaries around the world as one of the most successful slave revolutions in history.

“Stop being a slave to Western foreign powers!” — Kenyans protested the state’s abductions of over 80 people since June. Protesters say those kidnapped were posing a threat to the government’s subservience to imperialist powers.

Unions in Valencia organized protests against the right-wing regional President, Carlos Mazón, over his poor handling of the recent floods that killed over 200. Protesters say that solidarity among ordinary people helped many survive while the authorities were absent.

After 50 years in power, FRELIMO’s legacy of corruption has left the country divided and its economy in ruins.
Venâncio Mondlane, the self-proclaimed “true president,” has stepped into the leading role of the protests. But some of his background and connections raise important questions about his intentions.

The Kurdish-led, US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have regained control of eastern neighborhoods in Manbij, a strategic northern Syrian city. This comes after the SDF launched a counteroffensive against the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA).
Previously, the SDF withdrew from Manbij under a US-brokered ceasefire. However, clashes persisted as Türkiye prepared for another military incursion into Kurdish-held areas in northeastern Syria.
With ceasefire talks between the SDF, the US, Türkiye, and the SNA stalling, the autonomous administration faces a critical juncture amid increasing calls for its integration into the new Syrian government.
