Panama criticizes Colombia for not helping stem record flow of migrants through Darien Gap

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:06:22 GMT

PANAMA CITY (AP) — Panama’s top immigration official lashed out at Colombia on Sunday, saying it is not helping to slow the record flow of migrants through the dangerous jungle of the Darien Gap. Immigration Service Director Samira Gozaine said that in recent days, between 2,600 and 2,800 migrants per day have been moving through the gap, which connects North and South America. In 2022, an average of about 700 migrants per day trekked through the roadless region.In April, the United States, Panama and Colombia agreed to try to crack down on the smuggling rings that bring migrants through the gap. But Gozaine said there has been a lack of information sharing and joint action on the part of Colombia.“Instead of getting better, it has gotten worse, in spite of the negotiations with Colombia,” Gozaine said. “There has been no agreement, no information sharing, nor any effort that might help Panama manage the unregulated flow, which has grown considerably in recent days.”“Unfortuna...

Icons Earth, Wind & Fire, Lionel Richie make Boston tour stop

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:06:22 GMT

A No. 8 hit when it came out in 1978, “September” has grown into an immortal pop juggernaut akin to “Don’t Stop Believin’” “Africa.” The tune – a disco bounce, r&b boogie and pop breeze all at once – has been streamed billions of times. Bailey remembers it as being, well, just OK.“I thought it was kind of silly,” Bailey told the Boston Herald. “I didn’t dislike it. But it wasn’t like I thought it was all that. Honestly, I was wrong.”“September” is all that. But it can be tricky at the moment of conception to know what will be a smash and what will flop, even for a band with eight No. 1s, nine Grammys, and more than 100 million albums sold worldwide.“There are songs that you say, ‘Oh, this is a hit,’ and then it never sees the light of day,” Bailey said with a laugh. “And then there are other songs that you say, ‘This is OK,’ and it shoots to the stars....
