The Black Alliance for Peace demands an end to U.S. and Western interference in Burkina Faso, the rejection of neocolonial policies in the Sahel, and a stance affirming Africans’ rights to sovereignty.
Somalia’s recognition of SSC-Khaatumo as its sixth Federal Member State (FMS) has radically shifted the Horn of Africa’s geopolitical dynamics, with implications for Israel, Palestine, and Ansar Allah (“the Houthis”).
The stagnation driven by Donald Trump’s tariff policies, intended to save the dollar from collapse—the US debt and trade imbalance is measured in trillions—is global in nature, but will fall hardest on countries euphemistically referred to as developing or emerging. In this scenario, deeply in debt and isolated from the world by the atrocities spoken and committed by President Javier Milei—who knows only how to flatter Trump in an undignified manner—Argentina is on the brink of the precipice, and down below, in hell, the demons await the Argentines.
For 76 years, Gaza has been has been the defiant heart of Palestinian resistance. Today, as Israel’s genocidal war lays bare the brutal dead end of Zionism, Gaza’s struggle transcends geography, bringing a global reckoning with colonialism, oppression, and the cost of silence.
Monther Abed, the sole survivor of the Israeli attack on paramedics in Rafah, reveals the details of the crime in which 15 humanitarian workers were killed.
Cryptocurrency mining uses about 2.3 percent of all U.S. electricity. That is more than the total electricity used for all residential lighting in America.
Ecuador’s National Electoral Council announced the results of the runoff election for the 2025 to 2029 presidential term. Incumbent President Daniel Noboa emerged victorious, earning 55 percent of the vote, while his opponent, Luisa González, trailed behind with 44 percent of the vote. González immediately declared electoral fraud, citing a series of irregularities including Noboa’s declaration of a “state of exception” in seven strategic provinces two days before the elections. During the final stretch of the runoff campaign, U.S. President Donald Trump privately received Noboa at Mar-a-Lago. In the first round of voting Noboa was surprised by a “technical tie” with González, the candidate from the Citizens’ Revolution (CR) party. In the following weeks, González gained unprecedented backing from the Pachakutik Indigenous movement, which garnered five percent of the vote in the first round and has historically clashed with the RC.
Choudhury attempts to deepen the discourse of the politics of mourning by highlighting that when it comes to thinking about Gaza in the contemporary times, thought itself is occupied by discourses that revolve around anti-semitism, human rights and legitimacy. In this regard, is it interesting to note that Choudhary’s book refuses, as he notes, the “dogmatic instruction of what constitutes antisemitism”, to avoid the “injunctions issued by structures of authority and sources of legitimation about how to think.”
Even though Die Linke has re-entered the Bundestag surprisingly securely, one must begin with the obvious: this was the great electoral success of the right, especially the post-fascist AfD. The centre-left suffered an immense political defeat. 20 years ago, when the then Red-Green government lost its majority in 2005, the SPD and Greens together had united about 20.03 million votes. In this federal election, there were only 13.91 million votes. Compared to 2021, the SPD lost around 3.75 million votes, a decline of almost 32%. 2.48 million voters went to the right, 1.76 million to the Union, the rest to the AfD. The Greens got off relatively lightly in comparison, losing around 1.1 million votes net, a decline of around 15%. The big winner of the hour is the AfD — in terms of content, because it has driven the other parties with its xenophobic policies, and consequently also at the ballot box. In 2021, about 4.81 million people gave their vote to the post-fascists; now it was 10.33 million.
