“An empire drunk on power.” That’s how Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro described the United States, accusing Washington of using force and manipulation to maintain its grip on global power.
Speaking in Caracas, Maduro pointed to Ecuador’s recent presidential runoff as a fresh example of US interventionism in Latin America. He condemned the election of right-wing businessman Daniel Noboa as part of a broader “colonialist project,” suggesting Washington played a role in engineering the outcome to serve its regional interests.
Ecuador’s left-wing opposition has also rejected the results. Exit polls showed a technical tie, but official figures gave Noboa a decisive victory—raising accusations of fraud, voter suppression, and military intimidation.

Israel has bombed yet another hospital in southern Gaza, killing at least one medic and injuring ten others in an airstrike on the Kuwaiti Field Hospital in Khan Younis. The targeting of medical infrastructure comes as the official Palestinian death toll surpasses 51,000—though estimates place the real number far higher, with thousands still buried under rubble or missing.
For seven consecutive weeks, Israel has prevented the entry of food, medicine, fuel, and clean water into Gaza. Aid convoys are routinely obstructed, water wells and desalination plants deliberately targeted, and food distribution centers reduced to rubble.
Hamas has said it is reviewing the latest Israeli ceasefire proposal, which was delivered through Egyptian and Qatari mediators. The offer includes a 45-day pause in bombing in exchange for the release of 11 Israeli captives, but also calls for Hamas to disarm—a condition the resistance forces have described as “a million red lines.”

Argentinians burned the US flag on Sunday in protest against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s visit to Buenos Aires. Bessent met with President Javier Milei to advance a trade deal that would lift tariffs in exchange for greater access to Argentina’s economy. The visit came shortly after the IMF approved a major loan to Argentina with Washington’s backing.
During the meeting, the US demanded that Argentina cancel its currency swap with China. While natural resources were not mentioned publicly, sectors like lithium and energy remain central to US interests in Argentina and are widely understood to be key stakes in the negotiation.

Palestinian Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi was arrested by ICE yesterday in Vermont, during what was meant to be his US citizenship interview. The arrest was in direct retaliation for his pro-Palestinian activism.
Mahdawi, a peaceful activist, had lived in the US for 10 years and led campus protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The arrest has now set in motion his deportation to the occupied West Bank.
The arrest has been widely condemned as unconstitutional, highlighting a broader crackdown on free speech under the Trump administration. In March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that over 300 students have had their visas revoked as punishment for pro-Palestine activism — a number that is likely even higher now.

The three-year Great Palestinian Revolt against British rule began on this day in 1936. It was caused by the dire poverty many Palestinians were plunged into under British colonial rule, as well as the influx of Zionist settlers and the start of the Zionist project.
The issues that underpinned the massive strikes and armed rebellion of Palestinians during the revolt foreshadowed the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948 and the formation of Israel. Read on.

Algeria just gave 12 French officials 48 hours to pack up and leave. The expulsion order was issued today, three days after French police arrested three Algerians in Paris, including a staff member of the Algerian consulate.
Algeria condemned the arrests as a violation of diplomatic norms. France defended them as part of an ongoing investigation tied to a suspected kidnapping case.
Just a week earlier, both governments had signaled a shift toward reconciliation. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot had visited Algiers. Macron and Tebboune spoke by phone. That reset now appears to have collapsed.
France colonized Algeria for 132 years, ending in a brutal war that killed over a million Algerians. The French army used mass torture, executions, and scorched-earth campaigns to crush the independence movement.
To this day, France has never fully acknowledged its crimes—and continues to exert pressure on Algerian institutions and individuals, often under the banner of “security” and “counterterrorism.”
Protesters filled the streets of Madrid on Saturday to mark 94 years since the proclamation of the Second Republic. They called for peace, the end of the monarchy, and the creation of a new democratic republic.
The march, backed by Izquierda Unida and other leftist groups, rejected war and militarization and demanded stronger commitments to public education, housing, feminism, environmentalism, and secularism.
The Second Republic, proclaimed in 1931, was a democratic project that introduced secularism, land redistribution, and expanded civil rights. It faced fierce opposition from reactionary forces, culminating in a fascist military coup led by Francisco Franco in 1936.
Pro-Republic forces, which included communists, socialists, liberals, and regional nationalists, resisted Franco through nearly three years of civil war, becoming a global symbol of the anti-fascist struggle, before being crushed by Franco’s forces that were backed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

The US has once again sent detainees to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison, CECOT—a facility widely condemned for human rights violations. This latest round of deportations is part of a deal between US officials and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.
The latest batch of deported prisoners are said to be linked to criminal networks like Tren de Aragua. However, officials have not released any public evidence.
Under the Trump-Bukele deal, key details—such as the number and identities of those deported—remain secret.
CECOT, a vast maximum-security complex designed to hold 40,000 inmates, has become a symbol of Bukele’s security crackdown and Trump’s deportation policies. Critics have called the prison a “black hole of human rights.”
Human Rights Watch documented at least 238 cases of the US forcibly transferring Venezuelan migrants to CECOT in what HRW labeled as “enforced disappearance.”

A child was sexually abused every 30 minutes in eastern DR Congo. In just two months of fighting, nearly 10,000 cases of sexual violence were reported — up to 45% involving children, according to the UN. The organization calls it not a side effect of war but a deliberate weapon.
The surge followed the advance of M23 rebels, who seized Goma and Bukavu, displacing thousands. UNICEF warns the real toll is likely far higher — hidden under fear, stigma, and silence. Survivors lack access to care, and most perpetrators remain untouched.
As the DR Congo suffers under war and mass displacement, the US is moving to secure control over its vast reserves of cobalt and lithium — minerals essential to its tech and energy industries. Talks are underway to grant US companies access to these resources in exchange for security help.

Today marks the 64th anniversary of the historic achievement of Soviet pilot and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who became the first person to orbit the Earth.
Soviet archive footage shows Gagarin before liftoff and enthusiastic celebrations in Moscow upon his return. After his space mission, Gagarin famously said, “Looking at the Earth from afar, you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for cooperation.”
Gagarin’s mission into space propelled him to global fame, making him a worldwide icon. He was also recognized as a hero by the Soviet Union and was awarded the Order of Lenin for his remarkable accomplishments.

Colombia’s guerrilla war reignites after peace talks collapsed. The Gustavo Petro government faces its fiercest armed conflict yet after negotiations with guerrilla groups fell apart.
In the lead-up to the current armed escalation, guerrilla organizations like the ELN and dissident FARC factions were splintering at the negotiation table.
The ELN remains the most cohesive force, with about 6,000 fighters and deep political roots.
The fractured FARC offshoots, in particular, have become a chaotic patchwork of rival networks—sometimes without a clear chain of command or consistent agenda.
The government is now tightening its siege on FARC commander Iván Mordisco, who escaped a recent military assault that killed dozens of his fighters. He still commands an estimated 2,149 guerrillas.
Why is Colombia’s war escalating again despite promises of peace?

Two years into Sudan’s civil war, the healthcare system has collapsed. In Khartoum, 256 clinics and 53 hospitals have been destroyed. More than 75% of facilities in conflict zones are no longer operating.
When cholera swept through between July and February, it killed 1,500. There was almost no one left to treat the sick. The death toll since the war began now exceeds 20,000. Over 300 civilians were killed last weekend alone in attacks on camps in Darfur.
Nearly 13 million people have been displaced within Sudan. Four million more have fled the country — most to Chad, Egypt, South Sudan, and Ethiopia.
Famine is deepening. Food has disappeared across Darfur, Kordofan, and the displacement camps. Aid agencies warn that 25 million people are facing hunger, including 3.6 million children now severely malnourished.
While Sudan starves, the EU is quietly funding mass deportations of Sudanese refugees from Egypt, sending them back into a war zone.

🟡 NOW: Hungary’s parliament has passed a law banning LGBT gatherings, including Pride events. The law, pushed by Viktor Orbán’s far-right Fidesz party, also allows for facial recognition technology to be used to identify and prosecute anyone who attends these now-banned events.
The constitutional amendment passed with 140 votes in favor and 21 against, along party lines. Human rights groups have condemned the legislation, and Pride organizers have labeled the reforms “fascist.”

China has ordered a halt to exports of rare earth magnets and a wide range of other critical minerals—an escalation in the trade war triggered by Washington. The move marks a sharp turn from earlier rounds of tariff-based responses.
Rare earth magnets are essential for everything from military weapons systems to electric vehicles. And China controls the market. It produces 90% of the world’s supply. That includes nearly 200,000 tons a year of magnets far stronger than standard iron-based alternatives.
Until 2023, China also held a near-total monopoly on heavy rare earth metals, pumping out 99% of the global supply. The economic blow to China is minimal—these magnets make up only a small slice of its overall exports. But for the US and its allies, the fallout could be massive.

Ecuador’s left has denounced election fraud by the neoliberal government of Daniel Noboa. Luisa González, candidate of the Citizens Revolution party led by ex-president Rafael Correa, says they do not recognize the results, which give a 12-point victory to Noboa despite exit polls showing a tie.
The two official exit polls showed a technical tie—González winning with 51.99% in one, and Noboa with 51.2% in the other. However, official results showed a wide Noboa win, with González gaining almost no votes beyond her first-round tally.
The Citizens Revolution party has posted what they claim to be evidence of ballots being counted without signatures. Their leader, Rafael Correa, posted on social media: “Luisa would have gotten practically the same number of votes as in the first round. They carried out a massive fraud.”
Other irregularities included militarization and voter intimidation in left-leaning coastal regions, votes from Ecuadorians in Venezuela being blocked, and sudden polling station relocations.
Israeli warplanes bombed the operations building of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, the last functioning hospital in Gaza City. The two-story structure housed the surgical department, intensive care unit, and oxygen generation station.
Hospital staff and eyewitnesses said the Israeli army issued a warning just minutes before the strike, forcing a rushed evacuation of patients and families. Some were wheeled out without proper care. At least three people died as a result, including a child recovering from head injuries.
The attack comes as Gaza’s health system collapses under siege. No fuel or medical supplies have entered in over 40 days. Despite the destruction, hospital staff say they will continue. “We’ll rebuild again.”

Six months after Odair Moniz was killed by police in Portugal, the streets of Amadora still echo with his name. On Saturday, hundreds marched in his memory, not only to honor the man lost but to challenge a system that continues to protect those who kill with a badge.
Odair, a Black man and resident of Cova da Moura, was shot dead by police in October. In the hours that followed, several mainstream news outlets reported that the car he was driving had been stolen. That was false. Police also claimed he had a knife during the shooting, a claim they later admitted was untrue.
In January, the Public Prosecutor formally accused the officer of homicide, a charge that carries a potential sentence of up to 16 years. But he has not been tried, is not in custody, and remains on leave.
The judge now assigned to the case is the same who convicted Cláudia Simões, a Black woman who was beaten by police and then blamed for the assault, which left her face marked with bruises.

Clashes broke out between police and protesters in Peru yesterday as transport workers went on strike against a surge in violent crime. The strike targeted what workers describe as a security crisis spiraling under the neoliberal government of Dina Boluarte. Boluarte, who came to power at the end of 2022 through what many consider a US-backed coup, now faces growing unrest across the country.
In Lima and other cities, criminal gangs have expanded their grip—extorting, robbing, and threatening public transport workers and local businesses. Peru’s security breakdown reflects a wider regional trend, with countries like Ecuador also experiencing a sharp rise in violent crime after years of economic liberalization and weakened public institutions.
