A politician from Namibia who shares his name with the infamous Nazi Germany leader won re-election for his local seat for the fifth time in a row. “Adolf Hitler Uunona has represented Ompundja in the Oshana region since 2004 as a member of the South West Africa People’s Organisation, or SWAPO,” Euronews reports. The 59-year-old goes by Adolf Uunona and said it’s too late to formally change his name. “It’s in all official documents. It’s too late for that,” he said in 2020, according to the New York Post.

The 59-year-old has been a popular figure in the small northern constituency of less than 5,000 residents despite his namesake’s legacy, winning the election with 85% of the vote in 2020. As regional councilor, he has been lauded for his grassroots work and anti-apartheid efforts, domestic media reported. In an interview with German newspaper Bild in 2020 — when he won his fourth mandate — Uunona said he had “nothing to do” with Nazi ideology. He also rejected any notion of world domination. “As a child I saw it as a totally normal name,” Uunona said in the same 2020 interview, according to the New York Post. “It wasn’t until I was growing up that I realised: This man wanted to subjugate the whole world,” Uunona said. “I have nothing to do with any of these things,” he added.

But Germanic names such as Adolf are still common in Namibia, which was once a German colony before passing to South African control and finally gaining independence in 1990.

Andriy Yermak, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief of staff, has resigned after his home was raided by anti-corruption units. Yermak is a central participant of Ukraine’s peace deal negotiations with the United States to end the war against Russia. Anti-corruption units raid home and offices of Zelensky’s chief of staff https://t.co/K9X2tfdIKd pic.twitter.com/f0ieZqAJiv — New York Post (@nypost) November 28, 2025 More from the New York Post: Two national agencies fighting entrenched corruption in Ukraine said they searched Yermak’s office. Yermak, a powerful figure in Ukraine and a key participant in talks with the United States, confirmed they also searched his apartment. “The investigators are facing no obstacles,” Yermak wrote on the messaging app Telegram. He added that he was cooperating fully with them and his lawyers were present. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office are Ukrainian anti-corruption watchdogs. They are behind a major investigation into a $100 million energy sector corruption scandal involving top Ukrainian officials. Two of Yermak’s former deputies — Oleh Tatarov and Rostyslav Shurma — left the government in 2024 after watchdogs investigated them for financial wrongdoing. A third deputy, Andrii Smyrnov, was investigated for bribes and other wrongdoing but still works for Yermak. The scandal has heaped more problems on Zelensky as he seeks continued support from Western countries for Ukraine’s war effort and tries to ensure continued foreign funding. The European Union, which Ukraine wants to join, has told Zelensky he must crack down on graft. “We risk losing everything: ourselves, Ukraine, our future,” Zelensky said in an address to the nation, according to BBC. Zelensky reportedly used his address to call for unity. “I’m grateful to Andriy that Ukraine’s position on the negotiating track was always presented as required: it was always a patriotic position,” he added in the video address.

Our work continues, our fight continues. We have no right… to retreat, to quarrel [among ourselves].” Yermak’s departure from Ukraine’s leading circle will come as a major blow for Zelensky, with US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll due to arrive in Kyiv by the end of this week as part of Trump’s draft peace plan. US officials are heading to Moscow next week. Even hours before the raid on his flat, Yermak underlined the significant influence he held in Ukraine’s leadership, conveying his government’s position as it comes under US pressure to make territorial concessions to Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Pirro added that the man, a Washington state resident, drove across the country. At around 2:15 p.m., he allegedly shot Guard members Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Andrew Wolfe, 24, near the Farragut Square Metro Station in the area of 17th and I streets NW in a “targeted attack.” “Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023, outstanding in every way. She’s just passed away,” Trump said, according to USA TODAY. “She’s just passed away.

A Colorado state lawmaker was killed in a multi-vehicle car crash on Interstate 25 just south of Denver. State Sen. Faith Winter, a Broomfield Democrat and the mother of two children, died Wednesday night in a wreck that occurred around 6 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Interstate 25 near Dry Creek Road.

He said the cause of the wreck is under investigation. “The cause is going to take some time to figure out,” he said. Bartmann said he could not provide information on who was killed and injured in the crash. But The Colorado Sun learned that Winter was the person who died, which was later confirmed by her family and top Democrats at the Capitol. Winter, 45, had a son and daughter. She was engaged to marry former state Rep. Matt Gray, a fellow Democrat. Winter was a fierce advocate for transit and served as chair of the Senate Transportation and Energy Committee. She was entering her 12th and final year as a state lawmaker because of term limits. “Our state is shaken by the loss of Senator Faith Winter, and I send my deepest condolences to her children, loved ones, friends, and colleagues across our state. Faith was a fierce advocate for hardworking Coloradans, women, and families, and our climate. I’ve known Faith for nearly twenty years, first as an organizer for environmental causes and then expanding women’s representation and leadership, and finally, as a state senator,” Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said. “I have had the honor of working with her on many issues to improve the lives of every person and family in our great state, and tackling climate change. I am deeply saddened for her family, her friends and colleagues, and her community. Faith’s work and advocacy made Colorado a better state,” he added.

The Trump administration has terminated the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti. “After consulting with interagency partners, Secretary Noem concluded that Haiti no longer meets the statutory requirements for TPS. This decision was based on a review conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, input from relevant U.S. government agencies, and an analysis indicating that allowing Haitian nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is inconsistent with U.S. national interests,” U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) stated in a release. “The termination of the Haiti Temporary Protected Status designation is effective February 3, 2026. If you are an alien who is currently a beneficiary of TPS for Haiti, you should prepare to depart if you have no other lawful basis for remaining in the United States. You can use the CBP Home mobile application to report your departure from the United States. This secure and convenient self-deportation process includes a complimentary plane ticket, a $1,000 exit bonus, and potential future opportunities for legal immigration to the United States,” it continued. TPS protections for Haitians will expire in just over two months, the Trump administration announced Wednesday. The U.S. is offering airfare, cash, and a chance at future reentry for those who leave voluntarily.https://t.co/Rqir0wduoe pic.twitter.com/xBEapPXPfU — Haitian Times (@HaitianTimes_) November 26, 2025 The Guardian has more: According to a new Department of Homeland Security notice issued on Wednesday, TPS for approximately 340,000 Haitian migrants will be terminated next year. In the notice, the DHS secretary, Kristi Noem, said that Haiti no longer faces “extraordinary and temporary conditions” that would prevent nationals from returning. That statement comes despite worsening instability from gang violence in Haiti and political turmoil that has forced more than a record 1.4 million people from their homes this year. Despite acknowledging that “certain conditions in Haiti remain concerning”, including mass displacement and gang violence, and that the country’s turmoil has “spillover effects … [that] threaten not only Haiti but the stability of the wider Caribbean and the western hemisphere”. The notice nonetheless argues that allowing Haitians to remain in the United States is “contrary to the US national interest”. The notice continued: “As is widely known, Haiti lacks a central authority with sufficient availability and dissemination of law enforcement information necessary to ensure its nationals do not undermine the national security of the United States.” It added: “Our immigration policy must align with our foreign policy vision of a secure, sovereign, and self-reliant Haiti and not a country that Haitian citizens continue to leave in large numbers to seek opportunities in the United States.” Haitian community leaders in Florida said they weren’t surprised by the TPS termination. “We were expecting this. No surprise there,” said Gepsie Metellus, executive director of Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center in Miami, according to WPLG Local 10. U.S. ends TPS for Haitians, telling hundreds of thousands to leave by February Reporting by @JesseSchecknerhttps://t.co/onmnYnTjDM#FlaPol pic.twitter.com/t1keDYgEDf — Florida Politics (@Fla_Pol) November 26, 2025 WPLG Local 10 shared: TPS for Haiti was first granted after the 2010 earthquake and has been repeatedly extended. Many of those covered have spent more than a decade building lives in the United States, Metellus said. “Many people with TPS who have been in the United States since the Haiti earthquake in 2010 have become homeowners, business owners, have assets,” she said. “We’ve been insisting that parents have a formal guardianship agreement with the individual in whose care they want to leave their children. They need to make sure to take care of those.” Metellus said Sant La and other community groups have spent months coordinating with organizations in northern and southern Haiti to prepare for those who may return voluntarily or face deportation. “All of the organizations have networks, partners and collaborators who are in Port-au-Prince and throughout the country,” she said. “It’s time to ensure that we have those quick alliances set.” Local elected officials also condemned the decision. Miami-Dade County Commissioner Marleine Bastien said she was outraged that the announcement came during the week of Thanksgiving, calling it “cold and heartless.” She urged the Trump administration to reconsider, citing the humanitarian and security challenges facing Haitians who would be forced to return.
