“As imperial forces strike at the heart of Venezuela, Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez’s words ring out: ‘We will never again be slaves, never again a colony of any empire’.” In her powerful address following the U.S. military’s unprecedented capture of President Nicolás Maduro, Rodríguez rejects foreign domination and calls for unity in defence of sovereignty, natural resources, and Bolivarian independence. This is not mere rhetoric — it is a bold anti-imperialist proclamation at a moment when global power politics collide with the aspirations of a people determined to chart their owndestiny.
A shocking and illegal escalation has plunged Latin America into crisis. In the early hours of January 3, the United States launched a military assault on Venezuela, unleashing explosions over Caracas and seizing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife in a brazen act that defies the United Nations Charter. Washington now claims custody of Venezuela’s leaders, charging them under U.S. law — while Caracas calls it outright kidnapping and “imperialist aggression.” This isn’t a standalone event but the culmination of decades of U.S. intervention and economic warfare against Venezuelan sovereignty. Latin America—and the world—must reckon with this dangerous newprecedent.
The CNE accepted the merger of the left-wing parties Unión Patriótica, Polo Democrático Alternativo, Comunista and Progresistas, leaving only Colombia Humana out.
In the early hours of Saturday, January 3, 2026, a dramatic escalation shook Venezuela and raised alarms across the hemisphere. Shortly thereafter, Trump announced that the United States had carried out a “large-scale strike” against Venezuela and that President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, had been “captured and flown out of the country.” To understand the gravity of these events, they must be placed against the long history of U.S. interventions in Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean — interventions frequently cloaked in rhetoric about democracy, security, or anti-drug efforts, but consistently serving strategic and economic interests.
Fanon’s work, “Why we Use Violence” transcends the historical moment in which it was written. It speaks prophetically to other moments of repression and resistance with a clarity, passion, and humanity that is rarely matched. And one hundred years after his birth, as the “murderous reactions” of the colonists continue unabated, Fanon’s prophetic, revolutionary genius remains undefeated. When Fanon says, “We must really make the white settlers hesitate and the nations that support them,” he could easily be giving us advice on what to do about the zionist monsters currently committing genocide in Palestine.
Western media celebrate the terrorist they supported as Syria’s savior. Syria’s new U.S.-backed rulers have erased anti-colonial history, enacted neo-liberal policies, and welcomed Israeli occupation, fulfilling the goals of the regime change project.
When Edith M. Lederer ― a UN press-room fixture since Vietnam ― files a wire, the voice of Uncle Sam still echoes through the copy. Her latest piece for the Associated Press claims that Cuba’s global health brigades amount to “forced labor.” The accusation doesn’t come from a patients’ union or a medical watchdog; it drips straight from Senator Marco Rubio’s podium, yet Lederer repeats it verbatim, without pausing to verify whether the hundreds of thousands who have queued for Cuban care consider their physicians enslaved or emancipatory.
During my time as head of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), I frequently traveled to Colombia, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil, but never to Venezuela. There was simply no need.
