Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea police rescued 39 Indonesian nationals from an alleged cyber-scam compound in Port Moresby and detained four Chinese nationals in the case. Papua New Guinea authorities said it was the country’s first uncovered case of this kind. The case has intensified concern that global cybercrime and trafficking-linked scam networks are expanding into smaller developing countries.
Mexico
Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography said violence forcibly displaced people from 510,000 households to another part of the country between October 2020 and October 2025. The agency said the displacement affected 1.6 million people, including those forced to flee and those left behind to cope with the consequences. The figures offer Mexico’s first wider official snapshot of an internal displacement crisis long tracked by civil society groups.

Thailand
Bangkok authorities declared all 50 districts disaster areas Saturday after days of heavy rain flooded roads, homes and restaurants across Thailand’s capital. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt said almost 300 millimeters of rain had fallen since Thursday afternoon. He said the downpours had been almost continuous, swelling canals. Somkid Pheuk-ngam, a vendor living near a canal north of central Bangkok, said the latest flooding was worse than the 2011 flood and had forced her to close her shop for two days. The declaration covered the whole city as more rain was forecast.
