Why A Caribbean Zone Of Radical Peace Is Vital

December 3, 2025 Keston Perry, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Caribbean, CARICOM, Solidarity, US Imperialism, Working Class

The Caribbean Sea has once again become a theater for the renewed geopolitical ambitions of a waning US empire, which is strategizing to bolster its last bastion of hegemony. The arrival of the nuclear-equipped USS Gerald R. Ford on November 15, 2025—the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, spearheading the most intense military deployment in the region in decades- signals a stark attempt to reaffirm US domination. It reminds us of the Caribbean’s central position in the history of empires and why our only option is to resist these machinations through the pursuit of a radical peace and working-class unity.

It’s Not Only About Venezuela: Trump Intends A Wider Domino Effect

November 26, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Caribbean, Latin America, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

It’s increasingly obvious that the US military threats against Venezuela have a wider agenda. Their game plan is regime change, but not only in Venezuela. This is the objective – on a longer timescale in some cases – across several of the countries in the Caribbean Basin, aiming to cleanse the region of governments deemed undesirable to Washington. As international relations professor at the University of Chicago, John Mearsheimer reminds us, the US “does not tolerate left-leaning governments…and as soon as they see a government that is considered to be left-of-center they move to replace that government.”

The Masses Build And Sustain A Zone Of Peace Through Unity Of Struggles

On November 8-9, 2025, the social component of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) met in Santa Marta, Colombia, as the CELAC-EU Summit took place on November 9-10. The purpose of the CELAC-EU Summit was to enhance strategic cooperation between Latin America and the Caribbean and the European Union in a time of heightened United States militarism targeting the Bolivarian peoples of Venezuela and now Colombia. A major theme of the summit was the unique geostrategic and historic role that Latin America and the Caribbean as a region have in the creation and strengthening of a multipolar world free of the dictates of the over 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine.

The US Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced a new “lethal kinetic strike” against a small boat in the Caribbean, the 20th of its kind to date. Although the announcement was made on Friday, November 14, it reportedly occurred on November 10, four days earlier. These “strikes” have been labeled as extrajudicial execution by the United Nations, “At the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” reads the statement accompanying the video of the strike that the SOUTHCOM posted on social media.

The Social component of CELAC met over the last two days on November 8-9, 2025 in Santa Marta, Colombia with representation from social movements, mass based organizations and civil society coming together with the absolute clarity and necessity to make our region a Zone of Peace to combat and confront the US/NATO led aggressions in the Caribbean and Pacific against Venezuela, Colombia and the region at large. We had participants of the Popular Steering Committee for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas (PSC) in these meetings and participation at all levels amplifying the call from the masses to unify our struggles against our common enemy - the US/EU/NATO Axis of Domination.

CELAC-EU Declaration Plagued By Objections From US Allies

November 11, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Caribbean, CELAC, European Union (EU), Latin America, Zone of Peace

On Sunday, the Fourth Summit between the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) issued a joint declaration. The 52-paragraph document was signed by 32 of the 33 CELAC countries. Venezuela was the only country that decided not to sign it. At the end of the document, seven countries—Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago—presented formal objections to critical paragraphs. They distanced themselves from positions reaffirming the region as a Zone of Peace, condemning the genocide in Gaza, and demanding an end to the economic blockade against Cuba, among others. The declaration also includes paragraph number 14 regarding the Ukrainian conflict, which appears to respond more to the interests of the European Union than to those of the Latin American countries. It was not questioned by any of the signatories.

The head of US Southern Command, the military commander overseeing US escalations in the Caribbean and the push toward an attempt at regime change in Venezuela, is stepping down, the Pentagon announced on Thursday. According to a statement from SOUTHCOM Commander Adm. Alvin Holsey, who served in the position for less than a year, he will be retiring on December 12, 2025, ending a 37-year military career. No reason was given for his resignation, but according to The New York Times, he had raised concerns about the US military mission in the Caribbean, which has involved a significant buildup of forces and the bombing of five boats that the Trump administration has claimed, without providing evidence, were carrying drugs.

Trump Announces New ‘Kinetic Strike’ Off Venezuela’s Coast

On Tuesday, US ruler Donald Trump claimed that US military forces deployed in the Caribbean Sea carried out a new attack on a small boat “off the coast of Venezuela,” without specifying a precise location, killing six people he alleged were carrying drugs. Since Sept. 2, Trump has allegedly ordered military strikes on at least five boats in the Caribbean Sea that his regime insists were carrying drugs to the US. This latest illegal action brings the number of extrajudicial killings committed by US military forces to 27 unidentified civilians. Through Truth Social, the White House tenant published that his secretary of war, Peter Hegseth, ordered a “lethal kinetic attack” against a small boat supposedly off the coast of Venezuela, based on information allegedly provided by US intelligence.

Latin America And The Caribbean: Sovereign Zone Or Vassal Region?

September 16, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Caribbean, Latin America, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

It is difficult to overstate the insanity of the ruling elites of the collective West. They have shown themselves incapable of recognizing they can no longer continue to dominate as before the governments of the majority world. For the moment, they continue acting to impose regimes that are easier to manipulate in countries susceptible to destabilization such as, in recent years, Bangladesh and now Nepal. However, in order to overthrow governments or political movements steadfast in defending the sovereignty of their countries, Western governments have had to resort to military aggression supported by regional allies and vassals, as they did successfully most recently in Syria.

Trinidad And Tobago Fishermen Fear Being Targeted By US Empire’s Strikes

The Tobago Fishermen’s Association has expressed deep concern over the “deafening” official silence from Chief Secretary Farley Augustine regarding the recent violent actions of the US empire in the Caribbean Sea. The recent attack on a small boat allegedly carrying drugs has generated fear among coastal communities. Fishermen now worry that future operations could mistake them for criminals, creating an atmosphere of fear and mistrust. They are demanding clear responses and safety guarantees. President of the All Tobago Fisherfolk Association, Curtis Douglas, confirmed this Monday, September 8, that fishermen found debris believed to be from the destroyed boat washed into Trinidadian waters.

Latin America And The Caribbean In The Face Of US Desperation

September 4, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! Caribbean, Drug Trafficking, Latin America, US Imperialism

The general consensus in Latin America and the Caribbean is that organized crime is the main threat to the region's security. What is usually omitted is the central role of the US government in manipulating the regional structures of organized crime and money laundering. US government propaganda uses the alibi of fighting organized crime and drug trafficking to justify its extensive military presence in the region. Lately, it has served the Trump administration in order to threaten Mexico with possible military incursions and to mobilize warships with amphibious assault capabilities and contingents of marines to intimidate Venezuela. In fact, for decades it has been conclusively demonstrated that US financial institutions launder drug trafficking money on a large scale and that the US authorities encourage organized crime and drug trafficking by means of the CIA and its so-called drug enforcement agency, the DEA.

New Jersey Temps Fight Agency Efforts To Block Their Rights

It’s 5:30 in the morning and the warehouse is already buzzing. Workers are unloading trucks, breaking down pallets, folding boxes, and packing orders to be shipped to local stores. Most of the workers at this New Jersey warehouse are immigrants from Latin America and the Caribbean, and most are temps, hired by one of the 200 temp agency branches that advertise warehouse and light manufacturing jobs in the state. These agencies take a cut of workers’ wages while companies save on recruitment, benefits, and payroll costs. Companies use the temp agencies to shirk their responsibilities, since temps are officially agency rather than company employees. For many immigrants in New Jersey, particularly those without legal status, temp work is one of few employment options, but they face low pay and perilous working conditions.

US Hegemony, China’s Rise, And The Geopolitical Stakes In The Caribbean

June 26, 2025 Tamanisha J. John, COHA. Educate! Caribbean, China, Haiti, Neoliberalism, US Imperialism, Western imperialism

The Caribbean region is an important geostrategic location for the United States, not only due to regional proximity, but also due to the continued importance of securing sea routes for trade and military purposes. It is the geostrategic location of the Caribbean that has historically made the region a target for domineering empires and states. As both geopolitical site and geostrategic location, U.S. foreign policy articulations of Caribbean people and the region have been effectively contradictory, but the contradiction has allowed the U.S. to maintain its hegemonic position: Caribbean peoples in U.S. foreign policy are rendered backwards, unstable, and dangerous or targets of xenophobic harassment; while the physical region is rendered as a place where U.S. foreign policy must maintain one-sided power relations, lest these sites come under the influence of other states that the U.S. views as impinging upon its sphere of influence.

China Condemns US For Imposing Tariffs On Haiti Amid Worsening Crisis

“While claiming to support the Haitian people, [the United States] has significantly cut foreign aid and continued to deport Haitian immigrants under the pretext of national priorities, just when Haiti urgently needs support,” Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), said on Monday, April 21, at the Security Council. “What is even more shocking is that … they also recently extended their so-called 10% basic tariff to Haiti, one of the least developed countries in the world,” the Chinese ambassador continued. Geng said China is deeply concerned about the “worsening crisis in Haiti and the rampant gang violence, the near collapse of the state and the desperate situation of the people.”

Honduras expects to receive 33 representatives at the upcoming annual meeting of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), a regional organization founded on December 3, 2011, in Caracas, Venezuela. Since 2013, member countries have held annual summits in various locations, except for 2022. According to the president of Honduras, Xiomara Castro, the meeting, to be held on Wednesday, April 9, signifies “a step towards the unity of Latin America and the Caribbean, facing global challenges such as climate change, drug trafficking, and migration.” CELAC was created to foster regional unity in the face of the most pressing geopolitical challenges, as well as create an alternative to the US-dominated Organization of American States (OAS).
