The move\ncomes a week after winning pledges of sophisticated modern tanks to help\nUkraine beat back Russia\u2019s invasion force after almost a year of fighting.\nUkraine\u2019s defense minister was due in Paris on Tuesday where discussions about\nthe possible delivery of fighter jets to Ukraine was expected to be on the\nagenda. After months of haggling, Ukrainian authorities last week persuaded\nWestern allies to send the tanks. There was no indication that a decision on\nwarplanes to Ukraine might come any time soon and no sign that Western\ncountries have changed their earlier stance on the issue.<\/span><\/p>\nIn Haiti, gangs take control as democracy withers\n\n<!-- \/wp:post-content --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nPORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) \u2014 At a time when democracy has withered in Haiti\nand gang violence has spiraled out of control, armed men like Jimmy Cherizier \u2013\nknown by the nickname Barbecue &#8211; have filled the power vacuum left by a\ncrumbling government. The U.N. estimated in December that gangs controlled 60%\nof Haiti\u2019s capital, but nowadays most on the streets of Port-au-Prince say that\nnumber is closer to 100%. While gangs profit from the chaos, at least 155,000\npeople have been forced to flee the violence.\n\nPope&#8217;s Africa trip spotlights conflict, and church&#8217;s future\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n\nKINSHASA, Congo (AP) \u2014 Pope Francis has started a six-day visit to Congo and\nSouth Sudan where he&#8217;ll bring a message of peace to countries riven by poverty\nand conflict. Aid groups are hoping Francis\u2019 trip will shine a spotlight on\nsome of the world\u2019s forgotten conflicts. But Francis\u2019 trip will also bring him\nface-to-face with the future of the Catholic Church: Africa is one of the only\nplaces in the world where the Catholic flock is growing, in terms of practicing\nfaithful as well as of fresh vocations to the priesthood and religious life.\nThat makes his trip particularly important as Francis nears the 10-year-mark in\nhis papacy.\n\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After tank pledges, Ukraine seeks Western fighter jets KYIV, Ukraine (AP) \u2014 Ukraine is pushing its Western allies to provide it with fighter jets.
