Their appears to be an atrocity unfolding in northwestern Myanmar, where the military says at least 400 people have been killed in "clashes" involving the persecuted Rohingya Muslim minority, who are not considered citizens despite residing there for several generations.  Hundreds have died since Rohingya militants attacked a police station on 25 August, and security forces reportedly responded disproportionately.  In addition to the fighting, scores have drowned trying to cross the Naf river to reach Bangladesh to escape the fighting. 

A court in Kenya has thrown out last month's presidential election citing voting irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days.  It's believed to be the first time a court in Africa has invalidated an election and ordered a nation to start from scratch. Calling the Supreme Court judges "Wakora" - teh Swahili word for "crooks" - President Uhuru Kenyatta told the nation said that it was "important to respect the rule of law even if you disagree with the Supreme Court ruling".  His opponent Raila Odinga baselessly accused international observers of moving "fast to sanitize fraud" in the election.  The observers, led by the Carter Center for Democracy and its representative former US Secretary of State John Kerry, are urging the court to release the details on how it came to its decision.

Venezuela opened an investigation into former top prosecutor Luisa Ortega, who famously fled the country and promised to reveal details of high-level corruption.  Ms. Ortega's successor says she knew about corruption among the private operators in the oil fields around the Orinoco rive, but did nothing.  Ortega had been an ally of President Nicolas Maduro until right-wing mobs from the wealthier portions of the country commenced violent street protests in which dozens have been killed; she broke with Maduro over measures to crack down on the violence, and the rift spiraled to this point.

The US General leading anti-IS forces in Iraq is contradicting Russian claims that the leader of the so-called Islamic State has been killed.  "We're looking for him every day.  I don't think he's dead," said General Stephen Townsend.  "When we find him, I think we'll just try to kill him first. It's probably not worth all the trouble to try and capture him."  In June, Russia claimed to have killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, although there have been many claims of his death over the years, none of which produced a body.
