Rally calls for suspended president's removal
The Guardian Weekly
|January 03, 2025
Hundreds of thousands of South Koreans flooded central Seoul last Saturday in the latest wave of protests demanding the removal of the country's suspended president, Yoon Suk Yeol, a day after parliament voted to impeach his acting replacement.
Organisers claimed that more than 500,000 people participated in the rally, which took place amid a large police presence.
The demonstrations, which have grown steadily since Yoon's failed declaration of martial law on 3 December, transformed the historic Gwanghwamun area.
"Imprison Yoon Suk Yeol," protesters chanted as they marched from Gyeongbokgung Palace towards the Myeongdong shopping district, many singing to K-pop music blasting from speaker trucks in what has become a characteristic mix of celebration and serious political messaging.
Lawmakers voted last Friday to impeach the acting president, Han Duck-soo, marking a deepening of South Korea's political and constitutional crisis, stemming from Han's refusal to appoint three judges to the constitutional court - the body that must decide Yoon's fate.

Cool retreats Hill stations swamped by tourists fleeing heat
Until recently, the drive up the mountainous road to Landour was a highlight of a visit to the hilltop town, as drivers enjoyed glorious Himalayan views and breathed in the cool forest air. Today, the journey is something to be endured with up to 1,000 cars a day clogging the narrow, winding road - slowing to navigate hairpin bends. A journey that once took five to six hours from Delhi can now take up to 10 hours, especially at weekends in May and June.

How the rise of Zohran Mamdani has divided Democrats
The Friday night before election day, Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist running for mayor of New York City, walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill Park at its northern tip to the Battery - about 20km. Along the way, he was greeted by a stream of New Yorkers enjoying the sticky summer night - men rose from their folding chairs to shake his hand, drivers honked in support and diners leapt up to snap a selfie with the would-be leader of their city.

Broken justice...

While the death toll mounts, Israel's allies must help build a future for Palestinians
“We cannot be asking civilians to go into a combat zone so that then they can be killed with the justification that they are in a combat zone.” It defies belief that the Unicef spokesperson, James Elder, should have needed to spell that out last week.
