Molotov cocktails lit up riot police as massive protests erupted at Colombia’s University of Cauca. The chaos led to multiple arrests and injuries on both sides, fueled by the explosive anger of students grappling with financial struggles.
While this is the first violent outburst at Uni Cauca in some time, it fits into a broader wave of unrest sweeping universities nationwide, all demanding similar reforms.
The situation grows more violent with every confrontation. In recent clashes, police have even resorted to firearms; though so far, there have been no fatalities.
Colombia’s first leftist government, led by Gustavo Petro, had promised sweeping reforms to ease student hardships. Petro also campaigned on disbanding ESMAD, the infamous riot police unit.
For now, though, those promises remain distant, leading to frustration among the students who were at the front of the 2021 Colombian “National Strike” uprising that propelled Petro's electoral victory in 2022.

The EZLN, one of the world's most prominent social movements, was founded 41 years ago today. The guerrilla movement brought new optimism to the international left at a time when many socialist projects were being defeated.
Founded in 1983 by a group of Mexican intellectuals inspired by the Cuban Revolution, the Zapatistas took root in the struggles of various Maya peoples in the southern state of Chiapas. Their name pays homage to Emiliano Zapata, the legendary Mexican revolutionary.
The armed uprising, however, didn’t begin until January 1, 1994. On that day, thousands of indigenous supporters of the EZLN seized towns and villages across Chiapas. Their aim: to oppose the newly enacted NAFTA, which they see as a sellout of their land.
12 days of intense clashes followed, ended in a ceasefire. The Zapatistas retreated into the dense Lacandon Jungle near the Guatemalan border. From there, they forged a bold experiment in resistance: a de facto autonomous zone in eastern Chiapas.

🟡 NEW: EU Vice President Josep Borrell has called for a suspension of political dialogue with Israel over the ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. He also pushed for a boycott of products from illegally occupied territories in the West Bank. This stance by the outgoing foreign policy chief stands in stark contrast to the position of several EU member states, which have demonized the BDS movement as anti-Semitic.
