Imagine if another Hurricane Ian struck Florida two weeks from now. In 2020, that’s what happened to Central America, a region already roiling from pol and econ disorder. In my latest for @CFR_org , I explore how climate change worsens regional instability.

It was a pleasure to join ⁦ @StraussCenter ⁩ & ⁦ @UTAustin ⁩ for this timely conversation on US security assistance in Latin America. The big takeaway: “one-size-fits-all” approach does a disservice to partners and US interests. We need to adapt programs to local context.

⬆️90% of FARC’s rank and file complied with the terms of the peace accord. This move would acknowledge their commitment to dialogue and reconciliation. But for FARC dissidents who still terrorize Colombia, U.S. will keep working with Colombia to bring these criminals to justice.

De-listing the FARC from terrorist listing coincides with the 5-year anniversary of the accord between President Juan Manuel Santos and the rebels. The deal ended a 52-year-conflict with the FARC and resulted in Mr. Santos winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

As ⁦ @TimPadgett2 ⁩ notes, to take regional dictators to task, we need “a US ambassador to the OAS sitting at the table, instead of a nominee still waiting for Senate confirmation.” ⁦ @FrankMora_FIU ⁩, eminently qualified, was nominated last July.

The hemisphere's 'troika of tyranny' looks 'isolation-proofed.' The U.S. can still undo that.

COMMENTARY Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have secured the support of powerful kindred allies. To confront them, the U.S. should do more of that too.

I told @NYTimes that removing the kingpin of an organized crime group could spawn more fragmented gangs. “Keeping the pressure on the remaining factions…while expanding the state’s footprint…will be essential to preventing an uptick in predatory crime.”

Haiti’s constitutional and humanitarian crises flew below the radar for far too long—in part thanks to the pandemic. Moïse’s assassination is a cold reminder of the need for international support that puts the Haitian people at the heart of any solution.
