Guatemala destroys drug trafficking ring Guatemala City, 13 Nov — Guatemalan police on Tuesday destroyed a drug trafficking ring and re-captured Jose Ranferi Ponce Rodriguez, a drug lord believed to control the illicit trade in the north of the country, local media said. Ponce, whose brother Mario Ponce Rodriguez was extradited to the United States to serve a 25-year prison term on drug trafficking charges, had been caught 16 October in a village near the town of Morales, but was rescued by a group of locals when he was being taken to a local police station. He was re-captured in the department of Izabal, along with his father, family members and close associates, all involved in the drug ring left behind by his jailed brother, Mario Ponce, the Guatemalan News Agency said. Interior Minister Mauricio Lopez Bonilla said on Twitter account that so far 11 suspects have been arrested, and that the police were also looking for those preventing Jose Ponce’s detention in October. The suspects will be flown to the capital, Guatemala City, to avoid any attempts by locals to release them. Captured in March 2011, Mario Ponce was believed to head the Guatemalan branch of the Mexican drug Sinaloa cartel. Xinhua
Manaus World Cup stadium 90 percent complete R io de J aneiro , 13 Nov — Construction work on Brazil’s Arena Amazonia World Cup stadium is 90 percent complete, local officials have announced on Tuesday. Work on a steel structure to support the venue’s roof was completed on Tuesday, ending one of the most important phases of the stadium’s development, according World Cup project coordinator Miguel Capobiango. “It’s an imported structure that requires
special logistics,” Capobiango said. “Now the heavy machinery will be taken away and we will begin the final detailing phase.” Located in the Amazonian city of Manaus, the 44,000-capacity stadium is one of 12 Brazilian venues to be used during the World Cup from 12 June to 13 July next year. Capobiango said the stadium was on target to be ready by the December deadline set by world football’s governing body FIFA.—Xinhua

FAO calls for immediate interventions in fisheries, agriculture in Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan Rome, 13 Nov — The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on Tuesday called for immediate interventions in fisheries and agriculture after Typhoon Haiyan, which tore through the Philippines causing severe damages in addition to massive loss of life. “I want to express the solidarity of FAO and myself personally with the people and the government of the Philippines,” said FAO Director-General Jose Graziano da Silva. “The super typhoon Haiyan has left a trail of destruction and thousands of lives have been lost. The devastation caused in
the country, including in the agricultural, fisheries and forestry sectors, puts the lives and livelihoods of many more at risk and can have a wider effect on the food supply chain and food security,” Graziano da Silva added. “Although there is not a clear picture yet of the impact on the agriculture sector, it is evident that the damage is extensive,” said Dominique Burgeon, director of FAO’s Emergency and Rehabilitation Division. As part of its immediate response to the disaster, the FAO has deployed emergency response staff and will use the 1 million US dollars already mobi-
lized to cover immediate needs such as seeds and fertilizers. According to the FAO, an initial total of 24 million dollars will be needed for emergency and rehabilitation efforts. The typhoon, hitting at the beginning of the main rice-planting season, has affected over 1 million farmers and destroyed hundreds of thousands of hectares of rice, the organization estimated. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, about 9.5 million people have been affected by the typhoon. Xinhua
