Watch Fidel Castro’s iconic speech in Harlem, New York, heldtoday in 1995, about the successes of the Cuban revolution.
Castro received a rapturous reception in the predominantly Black area not only because of his strong anti-racist and anti-imperialist credentials, but also due to the success of the Cuban Revolution.
Following a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Castro wasn't welcomed at a reception held by then US President Bill Clinton at the New York Public Library.
Instead, he returned to Harlem, an area he had previously visited in 1960 when he visited the UN for the first time as the Cuban leader.
Back then he was invited to stay at the Theresa Hotel by Malcolm X leading to a historic meeting between the two revolutionary leaders.

The platform Bluesky suspended our account without any prior warning or explanation.
Bluesky advertises itself as a project aiming to “develop an open and decentralized standard for social media.” It claims its mission was to restore power to the users, which had been eroded by centralized Tech companies like Meta and Google. So much for that.
Ever since Antony Blinken's directive to treat us and other alternative media like “foreign agents,” the US-led censorship crackdown has escalated.

“We renew our call for the Arab and Muslim world as well as people all over the world to escalate and activate all sorts of protests in all the capitals around the world to work towards pressuring the US and all the countries supporting the Israeli occupation.”
Israeli journalist Antonia Yamin just casually threatens all Arabs in Germany on TV. “Every dog gets their own,” she says, addressing any possible Arab viewers.

The acquittal of the British police officer who fatally shot 24-year-old Black man Chris Kaba in 2022 highlights the deeply rooted racism within the UK’s police and justice system. Officers like Martyn Blake are once again allowed to escape accountability for murder driven by racism.
🟡 redstreamnet:7/armed-and-dangerous-britain%E2%80%99s-racist:2">Watch our debut documentary about the killing of Chris Kaba and racism in the UK from last year.
The British police officer who killed Chris Kaba, a 24-year-old Black man and unarmed father-to-be, has been acquitted of all charges. Martyn Blake shot Kaba in the head in 2022, triggering mass protests at the time from anti-racist movements and other communities who’ve long been victims of racist police violence.
Since 1990, a staggering 1,869 individuals have lost their lives while in UK police custody or following interactions with the police. Only one police officer has been convicted since then. British police are four times more likely to use force against Black individuals, who are also seven times more likely to die after police restraint.
🟡 In 2023, red. media published a documentary speaking to Chris Kaba’s family. We explored the issues of racist police brutality in the UK and how it impacts the country’s Black community. Watch here.
Violent protests erupted at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, clashing with riot police as Molotov cocktails and improvised explosives filled the air. The unrest was in response to the ongoing international COP16 summit hosted in the country. More radical voices are opposing the annual UN-sponsored climate change summit for failing to combat the capitalist-fueled climate crisis that keeps pushing the planet toward disaster.

Nigerian police violently suppressed protests commemorating the fourth anniversary of the anti-SARS movement. The 2020 uprising brought an end to the fascist police unit, Special Anti-Robbery Squad. At least 22 people were arrested by police who used teargas and fired gunshots.
Protesters gathered at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos, where the Nigerian military shot dead 12 unarmed protesters in 2020. The Nigerian government engaged in a systematic cover-up of the massacre, freezing protest leaders’ bank accounts and fining news outlets that covered it.
SARS was well-known in Nigeria for torturing, raping, and executing people with impunity. A powerful uprising led by the youth shook the country to the core and forced the elite to concede. During the entirety of the End SARS movement, at least 56 people were killed.

Are “North Korean troops in Ukraine”? The claim of 12,000 troops from the DPRK being sent to fight for Russia in Ukraine has been making headlines throughout the weekend.
The claim initially came from the Republic of Korea’s (ROK) National Intelligence Service. The Ukrainian government quickly followed. Both have put forth rather questionable “evidence.”
Surprisingly, both NATO and the US failed to confirm the reports of DPRK citizens actively serving as soldiers in Russia’s war effort.
Even though the DPRK’s involvement in Ukraine remains unclear, DPRK-Russia relations have undoubtedly seen breakthroughs in recent years. In June, the two nations signed their first mutual defense pact, agreeing to provide mutual assistance if either is attacked.
The two of the most heavily sanctioned nations continue to grow closer. Amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula, the outlines of what many call a “new Cold War” are becoming increasingly evident.

🟡 NOW: Hezbollah speaker Mohammad Afif says during an ongoing live press conference:
“These Nazis in Germany allow the Zionists to kill children. You have a history of crimes against humanity. You and everything you represent are partners in this crime once more.”
Protests against electoral fraud and the killing of opposition figures have shaken Mozambique. The once-revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO) has now become a target of protests by people who are deeply angry with the status quo in the country.
Police fired tear gas and live ammunition into crowds, injuring a security guard and hitting two journalists. A nationwide strike also brought the entire country to a halt.
Over the weekend, lawyer Elvino Dias and opposition leader Paulo Guambe were shot dead. They were preparing a legal challenge to the pending election results that show FRELIMO winning, asserting that electoral fraud had been committed.
FRELIMO has been the ruling party for the past 49 years, since Mozambique achieved independence from Portugal. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, 65% of the population lives below the poverty line.

Severe electricity blackouts have hit Cuba, a result of the US blockade having left the island without stable access to fuel.
The country has long struggled with short blackouts, but this latest round are the worst yet. Most of the country has been totally disconnected for long periods of time. The US blockade on Cuba has made importing fuel extremely difficult, and Western sanctions on Venezuela and Russia have made the situation even worse.
Right-wing media in the region point to these blackouts as a failure of the government, without ever mentioning the US blockade. Meanwhile, Ecuador has also been suffering frequent blackouts for months despite not suffering any sanctions. But Ecuador’s energy crisis is rarely covered in regional media.
