![One of Haiti’s best-known beverage companies is temporarily suspending operations as ongoing insecurity continues to make it difficult for businesses to operate safely.
The Brasserie Nationale d’Haïti (BRANA), the company behind Haiti’s popular Prestige beer and a subsidiary of the Heineken Group, reportedly informed employees on Wednesday, November 4, that operations would be temporarily suspended because of worsening security conditions.
According to Haitian news outlets, the company instructed employees to remain home until further notice, follow directions from its security department, and keep their phones and emails accessible for updates.
BRANA is expected to maintain certain essential activities with a smaller team, depending on security conditions. The company has not announced when normal operations will resume.
The decision comes as armed violence continues to affect businesses across Haiti, making it difficult for employees to travel safely and for companies to maintain their daily operations.
For a company that has been part of Haiti’s beverage industry for decades, the reported suspension is another reminder of how the country’s security crisis is affecting workers, businesses, and the economy.
There is currently no confirmed announcement of a permanent closure or mass layoffs.

![In a video posted to social media on Thursday, the 41-year-old said: “To the Portuguese people, the day has come for me to hand back the number seven shirt of our national team. I never felt it belonged to me alone, but for 23 years I had the privilege and the responsibility of wearing it, defending it and carrying it with me into stadiums all around the world. Today the time has come to pass it on to the future. It was not an easy decision because some decisions are not made with the mind alone. They are also made with the heart. A journey that began in August 2003 and changed my life forever has come to an end.”
Ronaldo made 234 appearances for Portugal and scored 146 goals, both all-time men’s international records. He debuted in August 2003 and captained the side from 2008. His greatest achievement came in 2016, when he led Portugal to their first major trophy by winning the European Championship. He also helped the team win the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025. Ronaldo featured in six World Cups and six European Championships during his international career.
The announcement follows a recent dispute with Portugal coach Jorge Jesus. In September, Ronaldo left the national team camp after being told he would not start a Nations League match against Denmark. The Portuguese Football Federation subsequently fined him and issued a 30-day suspension. Ronaldo’s last appearance for Portugal came on September 24, 2026, in a 1-0 Nations League win over Wales. He did not reference the fallout in his retirement video.
The Portuguese Football Federation said it would organize a fitting tribute so that fans and the country could celebrate a player who “has given us so much.” Ronaldo will continue his club career with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Longtime rival Lionel Messi retired from international duty with Argentina in October 2026 after a farewell match in Buenos Aires.
In his message, Ronaldo thanked his family, teammates, coaches, staff, and the Portuguese people, stating that representing his country was his greatest victory and that “Portugal will always be a part of me.”

![With Grand Theft Auto VI just two weeks from launch, Rockstar Games dropped a fresh batch of 39 screenshots on November 5, and one image immediately set the internet off. Sitting in the neon glow of Vice City’s Jack of Hearts club is a figure with the unmistakable haircut, face tattoos, and jewelry of South Florida rapper Kodak Black.
The screenshot shows him in a white tee, iced-out “1800” chain (a direct nod to his Pompano Beach roots and the 1800 Block / Golden Acres area), holding a cup stamped with the Jack of Hearts logo, flanked by women in a classic nightlife scene. The resemblance is so precise right down to the facial ink and signature look.
It makes perfect sense for the game’s setting. GTA VI takes place in the fictional state of Leonida (Rockstar’s take on Florida) with a return to modern-day Vice City (the series’ Miami stand-in). Kodak Black, born Dieuson Octave in Pompano Beach to Haitian immigrant parents, is one of the state’s most recognizable hip-hop voices and a proud Haitian-American artist. The cameo continues a clear musical connection: his track “Skrilla” was already used in Rockstar’s earlier “An Extended Look” footage, and Rockstar North’s senior vice president of narrative, Rupert Humphries, previously highlighted Miami artists including Kodak Black and Sexyy Red as influences on the game’s sound and culture.
The Jack of Hearts club itself has been teased across marketing, including a name-drop in Travis Scott’s GTA VI soundtrack contribution “RHYNO.” Fans are already speculating that other real-world artists tied to the soundtrack could appear as well, following precedent from earlier GTA titles that featured figures like Dr. Dre. Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

![Marly Metayer’s bid to fill the Coral Springs City Commission seat once held by her daughter ended Tuesday night when voters chose retired police Sergeant William “Bill” Capplis. In a five-candidate race for Seat 3, Capplis received 15,561 votes. Metayer finished second with 13,984 votes.
The seat became vacant on April 1, when Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, 38, was found dead in her Coral Springs home. Police charged her husband, Stephen Bowen, with first-degree premeditated murder and evidence tampering. Nancy Metayer was the first Black and Haitian-American woman elected to the Coral Springs City Commission. She won the seat in 2020, was reelected unopposed in 2024, and was appointed vice mayor in 2025.
Metayer, a political newcomer, entered the race months after her daughter’s death with a clear purpose: to continue Nancy’s legacy of public service. In statements and on her campaign site, she described the decision as turning profound personal loss into service for the community that had supported her family for decades. Her campaign manager noted that she had taught her children never to leave a job undone.
Born April 17, 1969, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Metayer immigrated to the United States as a teenager. She graduated from Dillard High School and built a nursing career spanning more than 35 years in mental health, hospice care, patient advocacy, infection control, home health, and staff development. She and her family settled in Coral Springs in 1999, drawn by its neighborhoods, diversity, and sense of community.
The family endured successive tragedies. In December 2025, Metayer’s youngest son, Donovan Joshua Leigh Metayer, 26, died by s**cide after a years-long battle with schizophrenia. Donovan, a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was a survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Nancy publicly announced her brother’s death and the family established a mental health fund in his name. These losses shaped Metayer’s emphasis on mental and behavioral health as a core campaign priority, alongside public safety, economic opportunity for small businesses and working families, and community unity.

![A Robinson R44 II helicopter crashed into Biscayne Bay near Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park off Key Biscayne on Wednesday morning, killing one person and critically injuring two others, authorities said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue initially reported units en route to a “helicopter down” around 11:26 a.m. near Nixon Beach. Video from local news helicopters showed the aircraft upside down in the water, with its yellow emergency flotation devices on the landing skids visible at the surface.
Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said the helicopter was a chartered flight conducting aerial photography and filming boats on the water at the time of the crash. All three occupants were adult males. The two survivors were transported to a trauma center in critical but stable condition. The third person, identified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the pilot, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Flight tracking data indicated the helicopter departed North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines and was over Biscayne Bay when it experienced a sudden drop in altitude. The aircraft is registered to Global Aerials Inc. The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash, while the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is leading the death investigation. Officials said it remains unclear whether weather conditions, thunderstorms, light rain, and winds in the area played a role. Identities of the three men have not been released pending notification of next of kin.
The helicopter remained partially submerged as investigators worked the scene. Divers were deployed to confirm there were no additional victims. This is a developing story.

![The family of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong has shared pages from his personal diary with the New York Daily News, offering a glimpse into the future the Ghanaian teenager hoped to build.
Frimpong, a 10th grader at DreamYard Preparatory School in the Bronx, had moved from Ghana roughly a year earlier to live with his father, Thomas Frimpong. On October 29, he was walking to school when he was fatally injured near East 171st Street and Crotona Place. He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died. The investigation remains ongoing.
In the handwritten entries released by his family, Frimpong described himself as shy and still finding his place. “I am a shy person,” he wrote. “I am doing good on my journey and figuring out who I am.” He called his family “treasure” and said they encouraged him to stay away from “bad kids.”
Education was central to his plans. “I want to go really far with education because you will earn money,” he wrote. He noted that school felt better in the United States than in Ghana, where he said students faced harsh treatment that made learning more difficult. He also wrote about his love of reading and exploring nature, and about his faith, describing worshiping God as the most important thing to him and Christmas as a cherished time because it marks the birth of Jesus.
His family said he had been saving money to help friends back in Ghana with school costs. His sister, Millicent Frimpong, described him as a smart and caring young man who loved people and wanted to help others. He had dreamed of becoming a doctor. Frimpong had been in America for just one year and one day. The words he left behind now stand as a record of the life he hoped to live.
Rest in peace, Javits Frimpong. 🕊️

![Former Pétion-Ville deputy Jerry Tardieu submitted his presidential candidacy documents on Monday, November 2, to the West 1 Departmental Electoral Office (BED) on the Frères road, according to a press release from the En Avant pour Haïti (EAPH) political group.
Tardieu, the candidate of En Avant pour Haïti (number 85), was accompanied by supporters carrying the party’s colors and the Haitian national flag. After completing the filing formalities, he spoke to the press and sought the confidence of citizens by highlighting his background as an author, entrepreneur, and parliamentarian.
“I have credit with the Haitian people for my journey, my fights, my ideas and my values,” he stated, according to the EAPH communiqué. He recalled writing his first book on Haiti in 1991 at age 22 and said his writings and reflections have since focused on the country’s political, economic, social, and cultural realities. He also pointed to his private-sector investments and job-creating businesses, as well as legislative proposals and reform initiatives during his time in parliament.
Tardieu emphasized that Haiti needs competent, honest, courageous leaders who are respected nationally and internationally and who love the country. He referenced his family’s long engagement in politics, education, scouting, cooperatives, and sports, and called on former national team soccer players, including his brother Patrick Tardieu and Donet Désilus, to join the effort. He encouraged young people to get involved in public life, urged the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) to facilitate voter registration, and asked the government to remain impartial in the electoral process.
Tardieu first announced his candidacy on October 21. The filing comes as Haiti’s electoral calendar has been pushed back; the CEP has set the first round for July 18, 2027, after earlier plans for December 2026 proved unworkable amid ongoing security and logistical challenges. The definitive list of approved candidates is expected in January 2027.

![President Donald Trump congratulated Democrats on their string of victories in Tuesday’s midterm elections while insisting the outcome was not a referendum on his administration.
In a late-night call with Fox News, Trump acknowledged the Democratic gains that handed the party control of both the House and Senate. “Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job. They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it,” he said. He added that Democrats “fought hard” and “worked very hard,” noting they had been competing against him for years.
Trump rejected the idea that the results reflected dissatisfaction with his record. “I don’t view it as a hit on me,” he told the network. “I think we’ve done … We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency.” He repeated a claim he had posted earlier on Truth Social: that Republicans would have won “IN A LANDSLIDE” if he had been on the ballot.
Democrats flipped multiple Republican-held Senate seats in states including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa, while also securing a House majority. The results marked a significant shift after two years of unified Republican control of the White House and Congress. Analysts described the night as a broad rebuke of the president’s agenda, with cost-of-living concerns and the ongoing conflict involving Iran frequently cited as factors.
Trump, who had urged voters throughout the campaign to treat the midterms as a referendum on his leadership, later distanced himself from that framing. He also blamed Fox News coverage in social media posts even as he called into the network. Democratic leaders celebrated the outcome as a mandate to check presidential power in the final two years of Trump’s term.

Trump, who had urged voters throughout the campaign to treat the midterms as a referendum on his leadership, later distanced himself from that framing. He also blamed Fox News coverage in social media posts even as he called into the network. Democratic leaders celebrated the outcome as a mandate to check presidential power in the final two years of Trump’s term.

One of Haiti’s best-known beverage companies is temporarily suspending operations as ongoing insecurity continues to make it difficult for businesses to operate safely.
The Brasserie Nationale d’Haïti (BRANA), the company behind Haiti’s popular Prestige beer and a subsidiary of the Heineken Group, reportedly informed employees on Wednesday, November 4, that operations would be temporarily suspended because of worsening security conditions.
According to Haitian news outlets, the company instructed employees to remain home until further notice, follow directions from its security department, and keep their phones and emails accessible for updates.
BRANA is expected to maintain certain essential activities with a smaller team, depending on security conditions. The company has not announced when normal operations will resume.
The decision comes as armed violence continues to affect businesses across Haiti, making it difficult for employees to travel safely and for companies to maintain their daily operations.
For a company that has been part of Haiti’s beverage industry for decades, the reported suspension is another reminder of how the country’s security crisis is affecting workers, businesses, and the economy.
There is currently no confirmed announcement of a permanent closure or mass layoffs.

In a video posted to social media on Thursday, the 41-year-old said: “To the Portuguese people, the day has come for me to hand back the number seven shirt of our national team. I never felt it belonged to me alone, but for 23 years I had the privilege and the responsibility of wearing it, defending it and carrying it with me into stadiums all around the world. Today the time has come to pass it on to the future. It was not an easy decision because some decisions are not made with the mind alone. They are also made with the heart. A journey that began in August 2003 and changed my life forever has come to an end.”
Ronaldo made 234 appearances for Portugal and scored 146 goals, both all-time men’s international records. He debuted in August 2003 and captained the side from 2008. His greatest achievement came in 2016, when he led Portugal to their first major trophy by winning the European Championship. He also helped the team win the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and 2025. Ronaldo featured in six World Cups and six European Championships during his international career.
The announcement follows a recent dispute with Portugal coach Jorge Jesus. In September, Ronaldo left the national team camp after being told he would not start a Nations League match against Denmark. The Portuguese Football Federation subsequently fined him and issued a 30-day suspension. Ronaldo’s last appearance for Portugal came on September 24, 2026, in a 1-0 Nations League win over Wales. He did not reference the fallout in his retirement video.
The Portuguese Football Federation said it would organize a fitting tribute so that fans and the country could celebrate a player who “has given us so much.” Ronaldo will continue his club career with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Longtime rival Lionel Messi retired from international duty with Argentina in October 2026 after a farewell match in Buenos Aires.
In his message, Ronaldo thanked his family, teammates, coaches, staff, and the Portuguese people, stating that representing his country was his greatest victory and that “Portugal will always be a part of me.”

With Grand Theft Auto VI just two weeks from launch, Rockstar Games dropped a fresh batch of 39 screenshots on November 5, and one image immediately set the internet off. Sitting in the neon glow of Vice City’s Jack of Hearts club is a figure with the unmistakable haircut, face tattoos, and jewelry of South Florida rapper Kodak Black.
The screenshot shows him in a white tee, iced-out “1800” chain (a direct nod to his Pompano Beach roots and the 1800 Block / Golden Acres area), holding a cup stamped with the Jack of Hearts logo, flanked by women in a classic nightlife scene. The resemblance is so precise right down to the facial ink and signature look.
It makes perfect sense for the game’s setting. GTA VI takes place in the fictional state of Leonida (Rockstar’s take on Florida) with a return to modern-day Vice City (the series’ Miami stand-in). Kodak Black, born Dieuson Octave in Pompano Beach to Haitian immigrant parents, is one of the state’s most recognizable hip-hop voices and a proud Haitian-American artist. The cameo continues a clear musical connection: his track “Skrilla” was already used in Rockstar’s earlier “An Extended Look” footage, and Rockstar North’s senior vice president of narrative, Rupert Humphries, previously highlighted Miami artists including Kodak Black and Sexyy Red as influences on the game’s sound and culture.
The Jack of Hearts club itself has been teased across marketing, including a name-drop in Travis Scott’s GTA VI soundtrack contribution “RHYNO.” Fans are already speculating that other real-world artists tied to the soundtrack could appear as well, following precedent from earlier GTA titles that featured figures like Dr. Dre. Grand Theft Auto VI launches November 19, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Marly Metayer’s bid to fill the Coral Springs City Commission seat once held by her daughter ended Tuesday night when voters chose retired police Sergeant William “Bill” Capplis. In a five-candidate race for Seat 3, Capplis received 15,561 votes. Metayer finished second with 13,984 votes.
The seat became vacant on April 1, when Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, 38, was found dead in her Coral Springs home. Police charged her husband, Stephen Bowen, with first-degree premeditated murder and evidence tampering. Nancy Metayer was the first Black and Haitian-American woman elected to the Coral Springs City Commission. She won the seat in 2020, was reelected unopposed in 2024, and was appointed vice mayor in 2025.
Metayer, a political newcomer, entered the race months after her daughter’s death with a clear purpose: to continue Nancy’s legacy of public service. In statements and on her campaign site, she described the decision as turning profound personal loss into service for the community that had supported her family for decades. Her campaign manager noted that she had taught her children never to leave a job undone.
Born April 17, 1969, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Metayer immigrated to the United States as a teenager. She graduated from Dillard High School and built a nursing career spanning more than 35 years in mental health, hospice care, patient advocacy, infection control, home health, and staff development. She and her family settled in Coral Springs in 1999, drawn by its neighborhoods, diversity, and sense of community.
The family endured successive tragedies. In December 2025, Metayer’s youngest son, Donovan Joshua Leigh Metayer, 26, died by s**cide after a years-long battle with schizophrenia. Donovan, a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, was a survivor of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. Nancy publicly announced her brother’s death and the family established a mental health fund in his name. These losses shaped Metayer’s emphasis on mental and behavioral health as a core campaign priority, alongside public safety, economic opportunity for small businesses and working families, and community unity.

A Robinson R44 II helicopter crashed into Biscayne Bay near Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park off Key Biscayne on Wednesday morning, killing one person and critically injuring two others, authorities said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue initially reported units en route to a “helicopter down” around 11:26 a.m. near Nixon Beach. Video from local news helicopters showed the aircraft upside down in the water, with its yellow emergency flotation devices on the landing skids visible at the surface.
Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said the helicopter was a chartered flight conducting aerial photography and filming boats on the water at the time of the crash. All three occupants were adult males. The two survivors were transported to a trauma center in critical but stable condition. The third person, identified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the pilot, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Flight tracking data indicated the helicopter departed North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines and was over Biscayne Bay when it experienced a sudden drop in altitude. The aircraft is registered to Global Aerials Inc. The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash, while the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is leading the death investigation. Officials said it remains unclear whether weather conditions, thunderstorms, light rain, and winds in the area played a role. Identities of the three men have not been released pending notification of next of kin.
The helicopter remained partially submerged as investigators worked the scene. Divers were deployed to confirm there were no additional victims. This is a developing story.

The family of 15-year-old Javits Frimpong has shared pages from his personal diary with the New York Daily News, offering a glimpse into the future the Ghanaian teenager hoped to build.
Frimpong, a 10th grader at DreamYard Preparatory School in the Bronx, had moved from Ghana roughly a year earlier to live with his father, Thomas Frimpong. On October 29, he was walking to school when he was fatally injured near East 171st Street and Crotona Place. He was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died. The investigation remains ongoing.
In the handwritten entries released by his family, Frimpong described himself as shy and still finding his place. “I am a shy person,” he wrote. “I am doing good on my journey and figuring out who I am.” He called his family “treasure” and said they encouraged him to stay away from “bad kids.”
Education was central to his plans. “I want to go really far with education because you will earn money,” he wrote. He noted that school felt better in the United States than in Ghana, where he said students faced harsh treatment that made learning more difficult. He also wrote about his love of reading and exploring nature, and about his faith, describing worshiping God as the most important thing to him and Christmas as a cherished time because it marks the birth of Jesus.
His family said he had been saving money to help friends back in Ghana with school costs. His sister, Millicent Frimpong, described him as a smart and caring young man who loved people and wanted to help others. He had dreamed of becoming a doctor. Frimpong had been in America for just one year and one day. The words he left behind now stand as a record of the life he hoped to live.
Rest in peace, Javits Frimpong. 🕊️

Former Pétion-Ville deputy Jerry Tardieu submitted his presidential candidacy documents on Monday, November 2, to the West 1 Departmental Electoral Office (BED) on the Frères road, according to a press release from the En Avant pour Haïti (EAPH) political group.
Tardieu, the candidate of En Avant pour Haïti (number 85), was accompanied by supporters carrying the party’s colors and the Haitian national flag. After completing the filing formalities, he spoke to the press and sought the confidence of citizens by highlighting his background as an author, entrepreneur, and parliamentarian.
“I have credit with the Haitian people for my journey, my fights, my ideas and my values,” he stated, according to the EAPH communiqué. He recalled writing his first book on Haiti in 1991 at age 22 and said his writings and reflections have since focused on the country’s political, economic, social, and cultural realities. He also pointed to his private-sector investments and job-creating businesses, as well as legislative proposals and reform initiatives during his time in parliament.
Tardieu emphasized that Haiti needs competent, honest, courageous leaders who are respected nationally and internationally and who love the country. He referenced his family’s long engagement in politics, education, scouting, cooperatives, and sports, and called on former national team soccer players, including his brother Patrick Tardieu and Donet Désilus, to join the effort. He encouraged young people to get involved in public life, urged the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) to facilitate voter registration, and asked the government to remain impartial in the electoral process.
Tardieu first announced his candidacy on October 21. The filing comes as Haiti’s electoral calendar has been pushed back; the CEP has set the first round for July 18, 2027, after earlier plans for December 2026 proved unworkable amid ongoing security and logistical challenges. The definitive list of approved candidates is expected in January 2027.

President Donald Trump congratulated Democrats on their string of victories in Tuesday’s midterm elections while insisting the outcome was not a referendum on his administration.
In a late-night call with Fox News, Trump acknowledged the Democratic gains that handed the party control of both the House and Senate. “Congratulations to the Democrats. They did a good job. They’ve been looking for this one for 11 years, and they finally got it,” he said. He added that Democrats “fought hard” and “worked very hard,” noting they had been competing against him for years.
Trump rejected the idea that the results reflected dissatisfaction with his record. “I don’t view it as a hit on me,” he told the network. “I think we’ve done … We’ve had the greatest two years in the history of the presidency.” He repeated a claim he had posted earlier on Truth Social: that Republicans would have won “IN A LANDSLIDE” if he had been on the ballot.
Democrats flipped multiple Republican-held Senate seats in states including Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Ohio, and Iowa, while also securing a House majority. The results marked a significant shift after two years of unified Republican control of the White House and Congress. Analysts described the night as a broad rebuke of the president’s agenda, with cost-of-living concerns and the ongoing conflict involving Iran frequently cited as factors.
Trump, who had urged voters throughout the campaign to treat the midterms as a referendum on his leadership, later distanced himself from that framing. He also blamed Fox News coverage in social media posts even as he called into the network. Democratic leaders celebrated the outcome as a mandate to check presidential power in the final two years of Trump’s term.
