A massive electricity blackout paralyzed Buenos Aires yesterday. Metro lines were shut down, causing major traffic disruptions as public transport stopped working.

🟡NEW: UK lifts sanctions on Syria amid escalating sectarian violence.
The British government has lifted sanctions on 24 entities in Syria, becoming the first nation to unfreeze all assets of Syria’s Central Bank. The decision comes as Syria faces a surge in sectarian violence against minority groups, particularly Alawites.
In a recent escalation, videos and photos have emerged showing HTS-affiliated security forces carrying out brutal attacks, pogroms, and massacres against minorities. Despite these atrocities, Western powers continue to whitewash the new Syrian transitional government, led by a former ISIS member, presenting it as an ally.
A UK government spokesperson defended the move, stating: “This approach underscores our commitment to helping the people of Syria rebuild their country and economy, including through support for a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned political transition process.”
Military vehicles burn as protests rage against militarization in the rural Colombian region of El Plateado.
Government forces have ramped up counterinsurgency operations in the province of Cauca, hunting for FARC guerrilla dissidents, with the rural population caught in the crossfire.
For the local population, the military offensive feels more like an occupation. Local communities face forced displacement and harassment from soldiers who treat them as suspected guerrilla sympathizers.
The invading soldiers are often the only expression of the state in these rural regions. The ousted guerrilla forces were the de facto authority in El Plateado.
On the outskirts of El Plateado, the Carlos Patiño Front, under the command of Iván Mordisco, remains active despite being pushed out of central areas in previous government offensives.
This violent escalation follows the collapse of negotiations between multiple political-military groups and the government under President Gustavo Petro.

Trump has backtracked and withdrawn most of the tariffs he had announced for Mexico and Canada. This comes after strong retaliatory tariffs from both countries and opposition from US capitalists concerned about the stock market decline.
Tariffs have now been lifted on all goods covered under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the trade deal signed by all three nations during Trump’s first term, meaning all major goods are now exempt.

What’s happening in Syria?
Since Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by former ISIS member Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, took power in parts of Syria, there have been ongoing sectarian attacks against minority groups, particularly Alawites. Local sources have informed red. media that the situation escalated significantly yesterday. Pogroms targeting Alawite communities were reported not only in Latakia but also in other Syrian cities like Homs. Clashes were reported also in Al Sweyda a predominantly Druze area.
The primary reason behind these events is the deeply sectarian ideology of HTS, whose members hold Sunni supremacist beliefs. Although Jolani is attempting to present himself as a moderate leader to Western audiences—primarily aiming to remove sanctions and attract investment—the core of his organization remains rooted in extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS. This dual strategy creates severe contradictions within HTS and poses an existential threat to minorities like the Alawites.
Several pro-HTS and anti-Assad media outlets and journalists have portrayed yesterday’s events as an attempted coup by Assad loyalists within the military. This narrative seems designed to delegitimize genuine self-defense measures by minorities who are resisting sectarian violence and pogroms.
Meanwhile, despite Israel actively carrying out military operations against Syria, Jolani and HTS’s military forces remain predominantly focused on attacking minorities rather than addressing external threats.

The US government has placed further sanctions on Venezuela, this time by revoking Chevron's license to operate in the country. This abrupt decision mandates Chevron to cease operations within 30 days, a move that could significantly impact Venezuela's oil production.
Chevron’s return to Venezuela had brought in investment that helped boost production. They also managed the logistics necessary to export some of the country’s oil, which will now come to an end.
