🇸🇴 Two explosions rock Somalia’s capital, killing at least 30
Two car bombs exploded Saturday at a busy junction in Somalia’s capital near key government offices, causing “scores of civilian casualties” including children, national police said. One hospital worker counted at least 30 bodies amid fears of possibly many more.
The attack in Mogadishu occurred on a day when the president, prime minister and other senior officials were meeting to discuss expanded efforts to combat violent extremism, especially by the al Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabab* group that often targets the capital. It also came five years after another massive blast in the exact same location killed over 500 people.

🇺🇸 California revenues decline amid economic worries
The nation’s most populous state has had so much cash lately that lawmakers have spent freely — handing out free health care to low-income immigrants, paying for every 4-year-old to attend kindergarten and sending more than $21 billion in stimulus checks to taxpayers over the past two years.
That seemingly endless flow of money has started to dry up as state tax collections have fallen below expectations for four months in a row. There’s now an 80% chance California will be about $8 billion short when its fiscal year ends next summer, according to the latest estimate from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office.
Last year, 206 California-based companies went public, creating a huge windfall of tax revenue for the state. This year, less than 50 California-based companies will go public, according to an estimate from the California Department of Finance.

🇭🇹 Cholera overwhelms Haiti as cases, deaths spike amid crisis
Sweat gathered on the foreheads of staff at a Doctors Without Borders treatment center in the capital of Port-au-Prince where some 100 patients arrive every day and at least 20 have died. Across Haiti, many patients are dying because they’re unable to reach a hospital in time, health officials say.
Dozens of patients sat on white buckets or lay on stretchers as IV lines ran up to bags of rehydrating fluids that gleamed in the sun. So far this month, Doctors Without Borders has treated some 1,800 patients at their four centers in Port-au-Prince.
Cholera is a bacteria that sickens people who swallow contaminated food or water, in some cases leading to death. Haiti’s first major brush with cholera occurred more than a decade ago when UN peacekeepers introduced the bacteria into the country’s biggest river via sewage runoff at their base. Nearly 10,000 people died and thousands of others were sickened.

🥴 US President Joe Biden has been mocked online after saying that Democrats “went to 54 states” in 2018 to defend the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
▪️ The blunder made by the 46th US president at a Philadelphia rally to attract support for Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman infuriated a host of Conservatives, including Ryan Fournie, founder of the Students for Trump group, who described POTUS as a “completely senile guy.”
🗣 Republican House candidate Lauren Boebert tweeted, “Biden now says there are 54 states. I guess if you count the states of denial, confusion, delusion and disaster that his Regime has caused he just might be on to something”.
💬 “Cali conservative” Pamela Hensley, for her part, wondered in her Twitter post whether Biden created “4 new states with all the illegals he let in.”
▪️ Similar tone was struck by many netizens, with one noting that they “remember Obama saying there’s 57 states, so it’s a step [by Biden] in the right direction”.

🇨🇩🇷🇼The DRC has given Rwandan ambassador Vincent Karenga 48 hours to leave the country, following accusations of Rwanda’s support for the M23 rebels in the Congo's eastern provinces.
▪️"This is, in part, due to the persistence of country to attack the DRC and to support the M23 terrorist movement,” government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said.
▪️The M23 took the town of Kiwanja in eastern Congo on Saturday, cutting off North Kivu's capital Goma from its upper half.
▪️The March 23 Movement (M23), also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army, is a rebel military group based in eastern areas of the DRC, primarily in the province of North Kivu.
▪️It was founded in 2012 with the intention of defending the interests of Congolese Tutsis, a group that shares Rwandan President Paul Kagame's ethnicity.
