The Need For Climate And Environmental Internationalism

January 16, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
References to the so-called Global South too often primarily connotes the idea of Latin American and Caribbean nations to the geographic south of the United States, as well as African Union nations and a select few in the Middle East, including the Republic of Yemen. While this notion is a factual articulation of the “Global South” parlance, it also carries an Anglo-centric lens that doesn’t consider the fact that the “Global South” is both a preposition and a position in the larger social order of racial capitalism.  The Global South is a position in the sense that there are myriad examples that vindicate the assertion of author and scholar Robert L. Allen that Black America is a semi-colony or what he refers to as domestic colonialism.

January 12, 2026 Laura V. Mor, teleSUR English. , , , , ,
Demonstrators convened for the ninth consecutive night to express their unwavering support for the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, the First Combatant Cilia Flores. The protest, held despite low temperatures, called for their immediate liberation, as reported by teleSUR correspondent Henry Camelo from the United States. Participants reiterated their conviction that the detention constitutes a kidnapping, asserting that President Nicolas Maduro and Cilia Flores must be freed without delay. They condemned the United States for using pretexts to invade Venezuela, ultimately aiming to seize its natural resources, including oil and mineral wealth.

Hands Off Venezuela! Solidarity In Australia And Southeast Asia

January 9, 2026 Nick Dobrijevich, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Following the Trump administration’s illegal attack on Venezuela, people’s movements and political figures throughout the world immediately mobilized in solidarity to reject the unilateral US military aggression. The mood of solidarity reached Southeast Asia and Australia, with public opposition and demonstrations in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and elsewhere. Snap rallies in Australia were held on Sunday, January 4, in Melbourne and Sydney, with actions outside the US embassy in Canberra as well as in Brisbane and Hobart. The mobilizations were nationally coordinated by the new coalition Hands Off Venezuela, formed in October 2025 to organize emergency responses against the US military threats and airstrikes in the Caribbean.

Africa Voices Outrage Against US Invasion Of Venezuela

January 7, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , ,
The United States’ military invasion of Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores on January 3, 2026, has led to a wave of sharp condemnation across Africa. Governments, political parties, trade unions, revolutionary movements, and solidarity networks have denounced the action as a flagrant violation of international law, a return to imperial “might makes right”, and a dangerous escalation threatening global peace. From official diplomatic channels in South Africa to socialist parties in Zambia and Tunisia, and from militant trade unions to anti-imperialist platforms across the continent, African voices have responded with unusual clarity and unity.

Europe Rallies For Venezuela As Governments Fail To Denounce Attacks

January 5, 2026 People's Dispatch. , , ,
Demonstrations have taken place across Europe since the United States bombed Venezuela and abducted President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores on January 3, as people across the region mobilize in defense of sovereignty and international law. European leaders, meanwhile, once again failed to even minimally echo such demands. EU officials including Kaja Kallas, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and several other heads of government more or less explicitly supported the US assault on Caracas, which killed dozens.

January 1, 2026 Middle East Monitor. , , , ,
Over half a million people gathered early Thursday at Istanbul’s Galata Bridge for a massive march in support of Palestine, organized under the umbrella of the Humanity Alliance and the National Will Platform, Anadolu reports. The New Year’s Day demonstration, held with the participation of more than 400 civil society organizations and led by the Turkish Youth Foundation (TUGVA), was carried out under the slogan “We won’t cower, we won’t keep quiet, we won’t forget Palestine.” At the event, around 520,000 participants called for an end to the genocide in Gaza.

The History And Future Of Latin America’s Engagement On Palestine

December 26, 2025 Maria Landi, Mondoweiss. , , ,
I wrote this article when Israel’s genocide in Palestine was in its most ruthless phase (June–July 2025). As I wrote it, I felt rage, helplessness, and despair. I went to bed every night with the accounts of the ongoing horror and woke up in the morning to news of hundreds more dead. I saw corpses wrapped in blankets or shrouds piled up in mass graves and small children with their skulls or chests pierced by bullets, their bodies mutilated or emaciated, ravaged by hunger, dehydration, and infection. Like the millions of people around the world who care deeply for Palestine, over the past two years what has kept me going is an obsessive search for a way to stop this genocide before the Palestinian people are exterminated in their own land.

December 18, 2025 International Solidarity Movement. , , , ,
New York-based Irene Cho and Boston-based Trudi Frost, who were arrested by Israeli forces last Friday, remain in custody at the Givon prison after Israeli courts have summarily denied all their appeals while refusing to examine the evidence proving they have committed no offense. They are expected to be deported later tonight from Ben Gurion airport.  Cho and Frost were arrested on Friday, December 12, in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyer while staying with the Abu Hamam family, which is threatened with forced displacement by military and settler violence.

Afrodescendants: Casting Off Illusions, Preparing For Struggle

December 14, 2025 Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network (ROA) and the Regional Articulation of Afrodescendants of Latin America and the Caribbean (ARAAC), Afrodescendant organizations born from anti-imperialist social change processes and anti-neocolonial struggles at the dawn of the twenty-first century, carry the dignity and sovereignty that our African Ancestors entrusted to us as a living imprint of the self-determination of peoples. Latin America and the Caribbean have suffered, throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, invasions, territorial dispossession, and targeted assassinations of Latin American and Afrodescendant leaders.

Baristas’ ULP strike began on Red Cup Day, November 13 and has grown each week since.

Growing Global Solidarity To Demand Protection Of Palestinians Manifested On Day Of Action

November 19, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, Popular Resistance. , , , , ,
On November 17, social movements in 13 countries held actions in solidarity with Colombia and its President, Gustavo Petro, who has faced retaliation by the United States for his statements and actions in support of Palestine. Petro has announced that he will introduce a Uniting for Peace resolution at the United Nations General Assembly to create a multinational protection force for Palestinians and impose sanctions and a weapons blockade in order to end the genocide and liberate Palestine from the illegal Israeli occupation. Since he announced his intention to introduce the resolution on September 2, the U.S. government has revoked Petro's visa, targeted him with sanctions, punitively increased tariffs on Colombia, and is even threatening military action against the country.

Global Day Of Action In Solidarity With Colombia On Monday, November 17

November 14, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Friends of the Hague Group (FOTHG), which launched in July 2025  to support multilateral efforts to end the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people and to ensure that all such efforts be grounded in the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, has called for a Global Day of Action in solidarity with Colombia on Monday, November 17. FOTHG's coordinator, Adrienne Pine, explains:  "PNGO [the Palestinian NGO network—the largest collective representation of Palestinian civil society] has demanded that a Uniting for Peace measure be introduced at the UN General Assembly to send a multinational protection force to Palestine and implement sanctions and a military blockade, and President Petro of Colombia has heeded its call by committing to introduce such a resolution. 

Stand With Palestine By Standing With Colombia

November 12, 2025 Friends of the Hague Group, Popular Resistance. , , ,
During the current phase of Zionist genocide, Colombian President Gustavo Petro has done more than any other world leader to support the Palestinian people against Israeli genocide and to defend a future for Palestine of self-determination, sovereignty, reparations, and the right of return, as well as to demand accountability for those responsible for and complicit in the genocide. Petro has taken bold actions within his own country—angering Colombia’s powerful Zionist right-wing opposition—to block the shipment of coal to Israel and cut other economic as well as diplomatic ties with the genocidal entity, in line with Colombia’s obligations as a State Party to the Genocide Convention.

November 7, 2025 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
Across Africa and the world, progressive and popular organizations are raising their voices in solidarity with the people of Sudan, as they face one of the most brutal and protracted conflicts in the world today. From Ghana to South Africa, from international networks to grassroots movements, the message is unified in a call to end the massacres, open humanitarian corridors, and uphold the Sudanese people’s struggle for justice, peace, and sovereignty. Amid mounting international condemnation for its war crimes, especially over the last several weeks, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have reportedly agreed to a three-month pause in the fighting.
