Elon Musk declared that the "Great Replacement" has already occurred in parts of Europe after reposting statistics on X that claim to show sharp declines in the proportion of residents with native backgrounds.

The figures Musk referred to, shared by the X account End Wokeness, compared the share of residents with native national backgrounds in 1995 to 2025.

Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, has issued a strong warning to gangs in Haiti that are holding four of his citizens hostage. This warning comes after four Salvadoran aviation technicians have been reported missing in the town of Croix-des-Bouquets, outside of the capital city of Port-au-Prince, according to the NY Times.

The four Salvadorans are part of the Gang Suppression Force, backed by the UN and sent to gain control of Haiti from gangs which have commandeered the nation. The Salvadoran team was allegedly ambushed on Sunday when leaving a supermarket and driving back to the base in an armored SUV, which was damaged by explosives. The Salvadorans escaped the SUV but have not been located since.

Bukele posted the warning in Creole directed at gang leaders holding the "four compatriots hostage."

A man was beaten to death in Durban, South Africa, by a mob of 50 people. The man, in his late 30s or early 40s, "was first approached by two men by the roadside before being assaulted by a larger group," the BBC reports. The man was a foreigner.

Immigration riots have persisted in the country, with South Africans forcing Africans from other nations who have resettled there to go home, or at least get out of the country. However, no motive has yet been established for this brutal group killing.

Police are investigating but not much is known about why a mob of 50 persons would set upon a man and beat him to death by the side of the road. He was pronounced dead where he lay.

"The people of Oleshky have limited electricity, live amid mined roads, and endure regular military attacks. It was abundantly clear that without my intervention, the possibility to bring humanitarian aid into the city and to evacuate the elderly would be impossible."

President Donald Trump was asked about the effort by
