Africa Will Be Free When The IMF Stops Colluding To Steal Its Wealth

October 10, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Educate! Africa, Imperialism, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Senegal

In February 2025, Senegal’s Court of Auditors released a report that found ‘anomalies’ in the management of public finances between 2019 and 2024, during the presidency of Macky Sall (2012–2024). For instance, the court found that while Sall’s government had suggested that the budget deficit for 2023 was 4.9% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it was in fact 12.3%. The court went to work on this reconstruction of public finances because of a very significant accusation made by Senegal’s new prime minister, Ousmane Sonko, at a press conference in Dakar in September 2024. What the auditors found, and what the International Monetary Fund (IMF) validated, was that the actual debt ratio in 2023 was 99.7% of GDP – not 74.7% – and that the deficit had been underestimated by 5.6% of GDP (in August 2025, the debt ratio was revised to 111% of GDP).

Will The United States Attack Venezuela?

October 10, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Imperialism, US Military Intervention, US Regime Change, Venezuela

Spoiler alert – it already has. This is not a glib answer but a comment on the nature of the conflict. The US mission to wrench Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution out from its roots has a quarter-century pedigree. Stick around to the end of the article for an assessment of the likelihood of an overt military attack inside Venezuela. But first a little historical context. In 2002, a US-backed military coup temporarily ousted Hugo Chávez. A mere 47 hours later, the people of Venezuela spontaneously arose and returned their rightfully elected president. Washington has persistently interfered in the internal affairs of Venezuela, pouring millions of dollars to rig elections. Yet, the perpetually divided and unpopular US-fostered opposition is more isolated and discredited than ever.

‘Left’ Except For Haiti

October 9, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Gustavo Petro, Haiti, Imperialism, United Nations (UN)

At the recent United Nations General Assembly meeting, Gustavo Petro gave an impassioned speech on behalf of the Palestinian people. It was quite rightly held up as an example of leadership by a head of state, who spoke out forthrightly against a genocide and amplified calls for an international task force under a Uniting for Peace resolution which would prevent permanent Security Council members like the United States from using their status to veto any actions. Petro rose in international esteem after the Trump administration revoked his visa and when he returned to Colombia he expelled Israeli embassy staff after two Colombians were amongst those captured and detained on the Smud freedom flotilla to Gaza.

A Youth Revolt In Madagascar Is Shaking The Government

October 7, 2025 Julien Anchaing and Philippe Alcoy, Left Voice. Resist! Austerity, Imperialism, Madagascar, State Repression, Youth Activism

Unbearable power cuts and a lack of drinking water are just the tip of the iceberg. Popular anger has erupted in Madagascar as the population grows weary of shortages and failing basic public services. Power cuts can last for up to 12 hours, which can lead to cuts in drinking water supply on an island already suffering from severe water stress. Calls for action quickly mobilized thousands of people. The crackdown was also very harsh: to date, according to the UN, there have been 22 deaths and more than 100 injuries, some of them very serious. Since September 25, an organization calling itself Gen Z Mada has organized spontaneous demonstrations in most of the country’s cities, particularly in Antananarivo, the country’s capital. In response to crackdowns, students and young people from the big cities have also gathered in front of one of the capital’s universities to denounce the government’s authoritarian turn and the police’s violent repression.

World Leaders Rebel Against United States And Israel

World leaders from roughly 190 countries gathered in September for the general debate of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This year, many governments condemned the United States and Israel for carrying out crimes against humanity in Gaza. Representatives of numerous countries expressed support for the Palestinian people, while denouncing Western imperialism. A UN commission and multiple UN legal experts have stated conclusively that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the 2025 UNGA general debate, it was left-wing leaders from Latin America who led the resistance against the US empire. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro compared the US government to Nazi Germany and referred to Donald Trump as the “new Hitler”.

Mask Off US Empire: War Secretary Tells Military To Commit War Crimes

October 4, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Department of War, Donald Trump, Imperialism, Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, US Imperialism, War crimes, Wars and Militarism

US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gathered top generals and encouraged the military to commit war crimes and ignore international law. “You kill people and break things for a living”, Hegseth proudly told the military commanders, calling for “maximum lethality”. “We also don’t fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters, to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country”, he added. Meanwhile, Donald Trump ordered the Department of War to use US cities as “training grounds”, to fight the “enemy within”. He bragged about deploying the National Guard to cities like Washington, DC and Los Angeles, California, and said his next targets are Portland, Oregon and Chicago, Illinois.

AES Countries Exit ICC, Denounce It As Instrument Of Neo-Colonial Repression

September 24, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. Resist! Alliance of Sahel States (AES), Burkina Faso, Coups, Imperialism, International Criminal Court (ICC), Mali, Neocolonialism, Niger

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) announced its immediate withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, condemning it as a tool of “imperialism”, silent about the worst crimes by the West and its allies while selectively pursuing its opponents. Ratifying the Rome Statute in the early 2000s, its three member countries – Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger – have been members of the ICC for over three decades. “However, over time, they have come to observe that this jurisdiction has transformed into an instrument of neo-colonial repression in the hands of imperialism, thereby becoming the global example of selective justice,” states the AES communique on September 22.

Venezuela And The Heart Of The Struggle For A New World

September 2, 2025 Carmen Parejo Rendón, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Bolivarian Revolution, Chavismo, Imperialism, Solidarity, US Imperialism, Venezuela

“We will defend our independence with all the means at our disposal and we will raise our protest before the Spanish nation and its intelligent people, who we believe do not dispute the legality of our demands,” said Abd el-Krim, a Riffian revolutionary leader who resisted French and Spanish colonial occupation in the early 20th century. These words, which distinguish between the power that oppresses and the people who can understand and resist, resonate today more strongly than ever from Venezuela. Because Venezuela is not only a country beset by imperialism: it is an ethical, political, and cultural trench in the midst of a world collapsing amid wars, genocides, recycled fascisms, and markets that devour peoples.

Synergy Of The Sacrificed: Katrina And The Praxis Of Imperial Domination

August 29, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Extreme weather, forced displacement, Hurricane Katrina, Imperialism, sacrifice zone

Commemorating Katrina and its aftermath in 2025 comes at a time when a series of anthropogenic calamities from the genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid in Palestine, to the militarized federal takeover of Washington, D.C. (with the threat of more cities, such as Chicago, to follow) as part of a larger fascist consolidation effort are all exacerbated by an accelerated climate crisis that further elucidates the praxis of Imperial domination, which continues to oppress colonized and marginalized peoples across the world. Imperial domination can be described as the methods in which oppressive forces - including nation states and corporations (in many cases cooperating with one another)—exercise power over oppressed people through settlement, forced displacement, and other forms of socio-economic, environmental, and cultural warfare.

The Monsters Of The Global Crisis Interregnum

August 18, 2025 Carmen Navas Reyes, People's Dispatch. Strategize! BRICS, Capitalism, climate crisis, Hunger, Imperialism, Inequality, Neocolonialism, Poverty

The famous quote by Italian Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci seems to have been written for the moment humanity is currently experiencing: “The old is dying, and the new cannot be born. In this interregnum, monsters arise.” The world is going through a civilizational crisis in which the neoliberal capitalist order, although mortally wounded, continues to impose its predatory logic, that of the use of force and the resurgence of fascism, while emancipatory alternatives fail to consolidate. In this vacuum, monsters proliferate: wars and attempts at recolonization, climate crisis, structural hunger, collapse of multilateralism and international law placed at the service of the world’s powers that be.

The Struggle Against US Imperialism, Nicaragua Is A Model Of Sovereignty

July 26, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Daniel Ortega, History, Imperialism, Nicaragua, Palestine, US Imperialism

Today, more and more US government officials, especially those in Donald Trump’s two administrations, have invoked the 200-year-old colonial Monroe Doctrine to claim that Latin America is supposedly Washington’s “backyard”, that the US empire should control it, and that China and Russia cannot have relations with the countries in the region. Given that the US government constantly violates the sovereignty of countries in Latin America, it makes perfect sense that several governments in the region have deepened their partnership with China and Russia, because they see that Beijing and Moscow actually respect their independence and have helped them to economically develop, while Washington has only sought to exploit them.

Revolutionary Third World Leaders Praise China’s World Role

July 18, 2025 Stansfield Smith, Popular Resistance. Educate! China, Foreign Policy, Global South, Great Powers, Imperialism, Media

China is a modern superpower, as is the US, but a qualitatively different superpower. The US uses military aggression, coups, and sanctions to impose US corporate interests worldwide. China is a peaceful power that respects national sovereignty, mutual development, and non-interference. Despite opposing imperialism, a tendency in the Western left is to recycle Western anti-China narratives that liken Chinese trade relations to Western imperial conduct, as in Sri Lanka and the Congo. Others have written of Chinese investments in the Occupied West Bank, and even criticize China for lack of aid to Cuba - clearly not issues the Western powers have problems with.

United Nations Group Of Experts On DR Congo Report, June 2025

July 10, 2025 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Annexation, colonization, DR Congo, Imperialism, Paul Kagame, Rwanda, United Nations

It’s long been obvious to anyone following Rwanda’s 30-year war of aggression in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) that Rwandan President Kagame’s ultimate goal is to annex the mineral-rich Kivu Provinces bordering Rwanda. His project has come closer to fruition every year since his M23 militia re-emerged in a new push to claim territory and mines in November 2021. The June 2025 UN Group of Experts Report on DRC makes abundantly clear that he is now in de facto control of both provinces. His troops seized Goma, the capital of North Kivu Province, in January. They seized Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu Province in February.

Militarism And Organized Crime Against The Development Of Peoples

July 10, 2025 Stephen Sefton, Tortilla con Sal. Educate! BRICS, China, Foreign Policy, G7, Global Economy, Imperialism

In recent days, the member governments of the BRICS+ group have met in the capital of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. This year, compared to last year's meeting in Kazan, Russia, no significant progress is expected due to the apparent lack of full commitment by the Brazilian government to the development of an economic pole truly independent of North American and European dominance. Currently, the year-on-year growth figures of the largest world economies show that the economies of China and India are growing by more than 5% while the North American economy is growing by 2% on a downward trend, Japan and the United Kingdom by less than 2% and countries such as France, Italy and Germany by less than 1%.

Russophobia By The Collective West Opens Doors Of The Cold War 2.0

July 7, 2025 Dr. Vladislav B. Sotirovic, Popular Resistance. Educate! Collective West, Foreign Relations, Imperialism, Occupation, Religion, Russia, Russophobia, Ukraine

The current orchestrated Western policy of total Russophobia, directed by Collective West, can be recorded to start by the British Cabinet of Theresa May – the focal servant-dog to US global imperialism, followed by the creation of the War Cabinet of the US President Donald Trump (first administration), was a nothing else than a jumping to the new stage of the post-WWII Cold War (2.0) which was originally started (1.0) by the US and never was over as its main task of total economic, political, and financial subordination or/and occupation of Russia still is not realized.
