Confrontations between Argentinian police and protesters escalated once again as thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the South American country’s capital, Buenos Aires.
Footage shows police officers using water cannons and firing rubber bullets to disperse the protesters, who responded by hurling stones at the police, setting garbage cans on fire, and paralyzing the capital’s main street in defiance of new legal changes banning roadblocks.
The protesters took to the streets to protest President Javier Milei’s implementation of more cuts to the country’s welfare system, this time targeting soup kitchens. The protest was reportedly led by several workers’ unions and workers of several dining rooms and picnic areas across the country.
The country’s 44,000 soup kitchens regularly feed four million people for free. As annual inflation tops 276% and Argentines slip deeper into poverty amid the government’s austerity measures, they have increasingly flocked to soup kitchens.

Lula pokes fun at Elon Musk amidst the current row over Twitter in Brazil. Lula calls out “billionaires” who want to escape climate change by flying to space rather than helping to end global warming and deforestation about past comments by Musk concerning Space X.
Musk has been attacking the Brazilian government on Twitter because a high court judge, Alexandre de Moraes, ordered the site to ban several accounts that have been spreading fake news and disinformation. If Twitter fails to comply, the site could be banned in the country. Musk has attempted to portray the decision as a form of political persecution.

Dozens of Filipinos protested the heightened militarization of the South China Sea as tensions threaten to escalate. The protesters rallied outside the Chinese consulate in Manila, calling on them to respect the sovereignty of the Philippines by pulling out from its waters in the South China Sea, referred to as the West Philippine Sea by Manila.
The protesters also condemned the Philippine government’s alignment with the US, which has been massively expanding its military presence in the region, only further provoking tensions with China. The Filipino protesters have stressed that they “don’t want a war with China,” underlining the desire for a peaceful resolution to the territorial dispute.
The Philippines and China had a series of maritime confrontations in the disputed waters, including an incident last month when China reportedly used water cannons to prevent a Philippine resupply mission to soldiers stationed on a grounded warship at the disputed Second Thomas Shoal.

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Deir Yassin massacre. On April 9, 1948, just weeks before the creation of the State of Israel, members of the Irgun and Stern Gang Zionist militias attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin, killing at least 107 Palestinians.
According to testimonies from the perpetrators and surviving victims, many of the people slaughtered, from those who were tied to trees and burned to death to those lined up against a wall and shot by submachine guns, were women, children, and the elderly.
As news of the atrocities spread, thousands fled their villages in fear. Eventually, some 700,000 Palestinians would flee or be forcibly displaced at the outset of Israel’s creation, making the massacre a decisive moment in Palestinian history.

Indigenous Peruvians are protesting to defend their water supply against gold mining operations in the Andean region of Cajamarca. Protesters say that mining hasn’t brought any development to the area because, despite massive operations already in place, infrastructure is poor, and living standards remain low for Indigenous farmers.
Similar protests are also taking place in neighboring Ecuador, where Indigenous communities are mobilizing against Canadian mining company Atico Mining Corp., which has begun gold mining operations that will damage the water supply for Quichua towns in the Andean region of Cotopaxi.

Today in 2002, right-wing forces backed by the US attempted to overthrow former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, ultimately falling against popular resistance. Watch this powerful speech of the Bolivarian revolutionary Hugo Chavez, rallying thousands against imperialism.
On April 11, 2002, the Venezuelan elite, the Church, and some military members organized a coup against then-President Hugo Chavez. However, the Venezuelan people swarmed the streets to protect the Bolivarian revolution and overpowered the US-backed right-wing coup.
The coup plotter aimed to form a de facto government headed by Pedro Carmona, a business mogul and former president of the chambers of commerce, which would dissolve all other state powers and local authorities.
The people brought Hugo Chavez back to power in just 47 hours. The counterrevolutionary offensive backfired, as mass mobilization politicized additional segments of the population, who also organized themselves into Bolivarian collectives.

He is remembered as the charming, passionate and charismatic General Secretary of the South African Communist Party (SACP), and one of the country's most popular politicians.
At the age of 15, Hani joined the ANC Youth League and was active in protests against the Bantu Education Act. After his graduation, he joined the ANC's armed wing, MK, and would become its chief of staff. Hunted by the apartheid regime, he was forced into hiding and changed his name to Chris.

On April 10, 1993 Hani was gunned down by white supremacist Janusz Waluś in the driveway of his home.

Nicaragua has intensified pressure on Germany at the ICJ regarding its complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestine. Nicaragua’s legal team pointed to the UN’s Genocide Convention, which outlines “complicity in genocide” as a punishable act.
Recent research reveals that German weapons constituted 47% of all Israeli arms imports in 2023, part of which were used directly in Gaza. Germany approved 99.75% of all arms exports to Israel despite being fully aware of the ongoing extermination war and occupation of Palestine.
The German government approved arms exports worth €326.5 million to Israel in 2023.
Israel uses German-supplied military corvettes for the naval blockade off Gaza’s coast and to launch missiles against the densely populated area. German diesel engines power the Merkava 4 tank. Israeli soldiers are equipped with German bazookas.
Simultaneously, Germany slashed its payments to UNRWA, depriving Gaza’s central aid organization of its second-largest donor.

As Germany faces mounting pressure before the ICJ court, protests outside the parliament in Berlin are joining demands to end the German state's complicity in Israel's genocide against Palestine. Germany has arguably been Israel's most uncritical ally, devoting itself to backing the occupying state no matter what.
Nicaragua repeatedly emphasized the contradiction between Germany's admissions of possible international lawbreaking in Gaza while record arms exports to Israel continue. In 2023, Germany delivered 47% of the conventional weapons imported by Israel, making it the second-largest arms supplier to Israel, behind the US.
At the same time, Germany slashed its payments to UNRWA, depriving Gaza's main aid organization of its second-largest donor. Nicaragua's legal team pointed to Article 3 under the UN's Genocide Convention, which outlines "complicity in genocide" as a punishable act.

Ecuador’s invasion of the Mexican Embassy is a result of not having any foreign policy other than pleasing the United States, says former Foreign Minister Guillaume Long.
On Friday, Ecuadorian police broke into the Mexican Embassy in Quito to arrest Jorge Glas, former Vice President to Rafael Correa, who had been granted political asylum by the Mexican government due to the persecution he has faced ever since the return to neoliberalism under ex-President Lenin Moreno.
Every Latin American government has condemned the move as a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention, which protects Embassies as sovereign territories of each country.
Guillaume Long, Former Foreign Minister under Rafel Correa, says this shocking move results from a foreign policy that is only focused on being subservient to US interests.

Israeli forces have withdrawn from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, leaving the entire city destroyed beyond recognition. Following four months of intense fighting, the Israeli army announced the withdrawal of all ground forces except the Nahal Brigade. The Nahal Brigade remained in the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which cuts Gaza in half.
Following the withdrawal, streams of displaced Palestinians walked there, hoping to return to their homes from temporary shelters in Rafah. The withdrawal is not an end of the attack on southern Gaza but is meant to prepare the forces for “follow-up missions,” as stated by Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. “We saw examples of such missions in Shifa, and will see such missions in the Rafah area,” he added.
