2026 Haitian general election
General elections are due to be held in Haiti in two rounds on 30 August and 6 December 2026. The presidency, all seats in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, and local and municipal offices will be contested.

The elections have been repeatedly delayed starting from 2019, through the presidency of Jovenel Moïse, the acting premiership of Ariel Henry, and the leadership of the Transitional Presidential Council. The Council originally scheduled elections for November 2025 and January 2026 but was delayed to 30 August and 6 December 2026 due to the ongoing gang war and lack of funding.

Jovenel Moïse (French pronunciation: [ʒɔv(ə)nɛl mɔiz]; Haitian Creole pronunciation: [ʒovɛnɛl mɔiz]; 26 June 1968 – 7 July 2021) was a Haitian politician and businessman who served as the 48th president of Haiti from 2017 until his assassination in 2021. He assumed the presidency in February 2017 following his victory in the November 2016 Haitian presidential election.

Moïse's presidency coincided with a period of political instability in Haiti, including civil unrest, gang-related violence, fuel shortages and widespread lawlessness. On 7 July 2021, Moïse was shot and killed in a premeditated targeted attack.

Latin literature includes the essays, histories, poems, plays, and other writings written in the Latin language. The beginning of formal Latin literature dates to 240 BC, when the first stage play in Latin was performed in Rome. Latin literature flourished for the next six centuries.

The Tigris (/ˈtaɪɡrɪs/ TY-griss; see below) is the eastern of the two great rivers that define Mesopotamia, the other being the Euphrates.

The Tigris passes through historical cities such as Mosul, Tikrit, Samarra and Baghdad. It is also home to archaeological sites and ancient religious communities, including the Mandaeans, who use it for baptism. In ancient times the Tigris nurtured the Assyrian Empire, with remnants such as the relief of King Tiglath-Pileser.

Today the Tigris faces modern threats from geopolitical instability, dam projects, poor water management and climate change, leading to concerns about its sustainability. Efforts to protect and preserve the river's legacy are ongoing, with local archaeologists and activists working to safeguard its future.
