| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Britain's worst riots since the 1980s erupted in London and other cities; 10,000 extra police went on to the streets but it was three days before order was restored. India's preparations for the 2010 Commonwealth games were plagued by corruption and 15 times over-budget, auditors found. The Islamist militant group Boko Haram targeted the UN in Nigeria with a suicide bomb. The anti-corruption campaigner Anna Hazare won increasing support in his stand-off with the Indian government. A state of emergency was declared in Trinidad after a spate of drug-related murders. The Gambia's suppression of the media intensified with seven people facing the death penalty for distributing T-shirts criticising President Jammeh. |
