  + stars: | 2022-11-25 | by ( Cheryl Teh | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Sociologist and activist Frances Fox Piven warned the US about getting complacent after the midterms. She added that there is still a chance that the US could become a "fascist country." "The United States was well on the road to becoming a fascist country – and it still can become a fascist country." In January, noted political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon warned that American democracy could collapse if Trump wins in 2024. Piven added that in the years to come, there will be "vengeance politics" and attacks on President Joe Biden from the right wing — particularly in a Republican-controlled Congress.

Analysts said market volatility may lie ahead as the UK looks for its new prime minister. Pound sterling rose as much as 1.1% to $1.1337 before paring the rise to 0.8%. To investors, the UK looks ungovernable, and its economy resembles that of an emerging market, not a G7 nation," he wrote.

A new military takeover has been declared in Burkina Faso, after a day marked by gunfire and confusion in the capital city of Ouagadougou. In an announcement on state television late Friday, a Burkina Faso military official announced the dissolution of the current government and the dismissal of the junta leader, President Lieutenant-Colonel Paul-Henri Damiba. With the suspension of the constitution and government, this is Burkina Faso’s second military takeover in a year. “People of Burkina Faso, faced with the degradation of the security situation, we have attempted several times to refocus the transition on the issue of security,” Sorgho said. This week, unknown assailants killed eleven soldiers during an attack on a 150-vehicle convoy taking supplies to a town in northern Burkina Faso.
