By JILL COLVIN, ERIC TUCKER and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Advocates and lawyers anticipate a flurry of clemency action from President Donald Trump in the coming weeks that could test the limits of presidential pardon power. Trump is said to be considering a slew of pardons and commutations before he leaves office, including potentially members of his family, former aides and even himself. While it is not unusual for presidents to sign controversial pardons on their way out the door, Trump has made clear that he has no qualms about intervening in the cases of friends and […]

Former President of the Central African Republic François Bozizé will no longer be eligible to contest in the December elections. On Thursday, Bozizé’s candidacy was invalidated by the country’s Constitutional Court.
The court cites his prosecution for assassinations, torture and sanctions by the United Nations for the decision. The former Central African Republic president is a subject of an international arrest warrant issued against him in 2014 for ‘’murder, arrest, kidnapping, arbitrary detention and torture.
In July, Mr. Bozizé had announced his candidacy for the December 27 elections after he was ousted from power in 2013.
UN sanctions
Bozizé is still under sanctions by the United Nations for his role in the 2013 crisis, during which he is accused of supporting the Christian anti-Balaka militias.
At the end of January, he said that “nothing” would prevent him from running as a candidate in the presidential election and that he would ask the UN to consider dropping the sanctions against him.
Bozizé will very likely run against the incumbent Touadera, whose candidacy has not yet been officially announced, even if observers regard it as a certainty.
There have been flare-ups of violence between militias, who often exploit ethnic tensions.
UN experts warned in mid-July that the “prospect of elections has provided armed groups with another reason to maintain and increase their territorial control”.
Their report pointed to an influx of foreign fighters, principally from Sudan, which shares a border with the northeast of the Central Aafrican Republic and regularly sees inter-militia fighting.
Following a High Court decision, there is now a clear path for the public protector’s fitness in office to be scrutinised.

The cumulative total of Covid-19 cases surged by nearly 30 percent across the Americas in just one month, the Pan American Health Organization warned Wednesday, releasing figures for November.
By the end of October, infections registered in North, South and Central America as well as the Caribbean for the whole pandemic stood at 20.5 million, according to PAHO figures.
A month later, the total had climbed by more than six million to 26.9 million.
That includes \"record-setting daily cases registered in North America,\" PAHO director Carissa Etienne said.
In the United States, Etienne said that more than 96,000 people are hospitalized -- \"the highest number since the onset of the pandemic.\"
The US is seeing more than 150,000 new cases a day and fears a coronavirus super-surge following extensive travel over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Canada, which is seeing fresh outbreaks in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, is also seeing worrying surges along with Brazil, and Cuba.
\"These continuing cases of COVD-19 are why we must act swiftly, especially in places where the caseload has not been controlled,\" Etienne said.
As the world inches closer to a vaccine, \"we must continue to rely on the public health measures that we can all take and that have helped to curb previous outbreaks: relying on stay-at-home measures, practicing social distancing and wearing masks.\"
She called for \"vigorous government action\" to ensure testing and efforts to isolate and quarantine patients.
\"We have the tools at our disposal, let's use them,\" Etienne said.
