U.S. Accuses Indian Billionaire Gautam Adani of Bribery

U.S. prosecutors charged Indian billionaire Gautam Adani with bribery in a scheme to defraud U.S. investors. Adani, India’s second-richest man, runs the global conglomerate Adani Group, with investments in everything from ports to the electrical grid. According to the allegations, Adani and seven other defendants bribed Indian government officials with more than USD 250 million to win solar energy contracts, then concealed the plan as they attempted to raise money from U.S. investors. U.S. law allows prosecutors to pursue foreign corruption charges if they allegedly involve links to U.S. investors or markets. The Adani Group claims it violated no laws.

Police Officers Deploy Tear Gas to Disperse Protesters in Nairobi

Police officers deployed tear gas to disperse protesters in Nairobi, Kenya after a demonstration broke out to oppose gender-based violence and femicide. Dozens of people gathered to mark the beginning of "16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence." Some activists demanded that President William Ruto declare a national disaster against femicide in Kenya. No injuries were reported following the activity. Localized transportation and business disruptions are likely.

Four Killed in Violent Clashes with Police in Sambhal, India, over Mosque Survey

At least four people were killed and 24 law enforcement personnel injured during clashes with the police in the Indian city of Sambhal over a survey investigating whether a 17th-century mosque was built on the remains of a Hindu temple. The local administration has enforced a prohibitory order—barring the entry of outsiders, other social organizations, or public representatives within the district border without the permission of the competent officer—till November 30.
