February 7, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Resist! Cuba, Economic Blockade, Self-Determination, Trump Administration

The president of Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, addressed the complex energy situation that the country is facing, resulting from the tightening of the economic, commercial, and financial blockade imposed by the United States. At a press conference on Thursday, February 5, he noted that the country has adopted a strategy to expand the use of its own energy sources and rely less on imports. The president explained that since December 3, when the US naval blockade against Venezuela began, Cuba has not received a single drop of fuel, a situation that impacts public health, the economy, transportation, electricity generation, and the daily subsistence of the country.

Xizang’s Leap From Serfdom To Socialism With Chinese Characteristics

January 1, 2026 Arnold August, Friends of Socialist China. Educate! China, Self-Determination, Serfdom, Tibet, Xizang

“Tibet” has long been shrouded in mystery and misinformation. But the reality before 1951 was stark. Under a feudal theocracy, about 5% of the population were serf-owners, while at least 95% were serfs. I will never forget the film about a mother, a grandmother, and a small child, all born in the cowshed of a serf-owner. They lived there as the fourth generation under such conditions. After 1951, Xizang underwent significant changes, notably the rapid expansion of transportation. Yet, the event that remains most vivid for the people we spoke to is the abolition of serfdom on March 28, 1959.

Bulletin On Domestic Militarism And Repression

The strategy is clear, as well as the desperation. Domestic repression in the U.S. colonial/capitalist core is imperative to support the aggressive militarism abroad, the periphery, in the form of wars of aggression, political subversion, economic sanctions, and genocide that have become the consciously and intentionally chosen tools of a rapacious U.S. based global ruling class—a ruling class that is unable to rule in the old way. Yet, it's more than willing to blow up the world and sacrifice millions of people to maintain the predatory material basis for its white supremacist class rule. The irreconcilable contradictions of the neoliberal order that produced the dramatic swing to the right represented by the warmongering of the Obama administration and later succeeded by Donald Trump and Joe Biden, confirmed for the Black Alliance for Peace that its analysis that predicted an inevitable dependency on force and violence by the U.S. rulers domestically and globally was essentially correct.

Washington DC Wakes Up Packed With Federal Agents And National Guard

August 16, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Domestic Occupation, Homelessness, Self-Determination, State Repression, Washington DC

Since Wednesday night, hundreds of federal agents and National Guard members have been patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C., after President Donald Trump placed the city’s police under federal control. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) set up checkpoints in several areas of the city and increased patrols in shifts covering 24 hours a day. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said 19 agencies were part of a task force created by Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Peruvian People Reject Neocolonial Boluarte Coup Regime

On July 28th, Perú celebrated its 204th anniversary of the independence of Peru from Spanish colonial rule. Inside Congress, the most unpopular president in the world, Dina Boluarte, gave a five-hour-long speech in which she claimed, among other things, to launch an array of infrastructural projects to boost the economy. The scenes outside were a vastly different world. Protestors, delegations of farmworkers and families of martyrs and victims from the south, organizations representing neighborhood unions and others gathered in the center of the city to hear the message of ousted President Pedro Castillo, from the Penal Barbadillo prison, where he is a political prisoner held under pre-trial detention since December 7, 2022.

United Kingdom Endorses Moroccan Control Of Western Sahara

August 16, 2025 Maxine Betteridge-Moes, The Canary. Educate! Morocco, Occupation, Sahrawi, Self-Determination, United Kingdom (UK), Western Sahara

In June, just weeks before home secretary Yvette Cooper proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group, the UK government reversed longstanding policy by endorsing Morocco’s autonomy plan over Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony that has been under illegal occupation for 50 years. In a joint communique signed by foreign secretary David Lammy and his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita, the UK said the 2007 autonomy plan – which gives the indigenous Sahrawis self-governance under Moroccan sovereignty – was “the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis” to end the years-long conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front, the political-military movement representing the Sahrawi people.

End The Colonial Occupation Of Washington D.C

August 14, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Popular Resistance. Resist! Colonialism, Militarization, NationalGuard, Police, Self-Determination, Trump Administration, Washington DC

President Donald Trump’s recent announcement to deploy the National Guard to Washington, DC, framed as a crackdown on crime, marks a dangerous escalation in the federal government’s militarization of one of the spaces of the Black/African internal colony. On August 11, Trump declared, “We’re taking our capital back,” while signaling an unprecedented federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. This move, under the pretext of public safety, follows his March 2025 executive order establishing the “Safe and Beautiful” task force, led by Stephen Miller, an architect of white nationalist immigration policies. The initiative has accelerated mass surveillance, aggressive policing, and the criminalization of Black/African and working-class communities, particularly in Southeast DC.

Colombia Labels US Military Ops ‘Aggression’ In Latin America

Through a message posted Sunday, August 10, on social media, Colombian President Gustavo Petro reaffirmed his strong support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. This followed recent threats from the Trump administration against the Venezuelan government, which is trying to link Maduro with drug trafficking, and the discovery by Bolivarian authorities of arsenals of weapons belonging to terrorist groups linked to the extreme right. Petro emphatically declared that “Colombia and Venezuela are the same people, the same flag, the same history.” He emphasized that “any military operation that is not approved by our sister countries is an aggression against Latin America and the Caribbean.”

One Democratic State Campaign For Palestine

May 2, 2025 One State Campaign. Create! Israel, One Democratic State, Palestine, Self-Determination

In recent years, the idea of a single democratic state in all of historic Palestine has re-emerged as the best solution to the conflict, and it has begun to gain increasing popular support. This idea is not new; the Palestinian national liberation movement, both before and after the Nakba, embraced it, including the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), until its engagement in peace negotiations in the late 1980s, culminating in the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. The Palestinian leadership envisioned this agreement as a transition to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the territories occupied in 1967.

Community Struggles For Self-Governance In The Global South

April 29, 2025 Shrishtee Bajpai, Resilience. Strategize! Democracy, Development, Global South, Self-Determination

Are we really free? With this seemingly straightforward yet provocative question, Vijay Dethe from Pachgaon village in the Chandrapur district of Maharashtra, India, opened several philosophical and political questions. Vijay belongs to Dalit community and works with the Gond adivasis (indigenous peoples in India) and other marginal communities of Pachgaon towards self rule and overall governance in the village. He further added “the ones who destroyed their forests, polluted their waters, are now telling us what ‘vikas’(development) is! Do they really know what ‘development’ is!?”

Thousands March For Welsh Independence; Who Can Blame Them?

April 27, 2025 The Canary. Resist! Independence, Self-Determination, United Kingdom (UK), Wales

Over 6,000 people marched through the streets of Barry on Saturday 26 April, calling for Welsh independence. The March for Independence, organised by YesCymru and AUOBCymru, brought people together from across the country in a powerful show of unity and hope for a better future. Since 2019, thousands have taken part in independence marches across Wales – in places like Caernarfon, Merthyr, Wrexham, Bangor, Swansea, Carmarthen and Cardiff – and now Barry, Wales’s largest town, has made its mark on that journey. Barry has a proud political legacy, including a key role in the Cymru Fydd movement for Welsh self-government in the 1890s. Saturday’s march built on that tradition, with a new generation taking up the call for change.

This date, commemorating the assassinations of Malcolm X and Augusto C. Sandino, serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for sovereignty, self-determination, and liberation from colonialism, imperialism and all nefarious forces that impede peace. The Network is dedicated to building a coordinated, internationalist struggle to expel the U.S./EU/NATO Axis of Domination from the Americas and beyond.

Panama: Self-Determination And National Popular Unity

February 2, 2025 Abdiel Rodríguez Reyes, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Donald Trump, Manifest Destiny, Monroe Doctrine, Panama, Panama Canal, Self-Determination, Sovereignty, US Imperialism

The peoples have the right to decide their own collective destiny as established by the Bandung Conference in 1955 and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966, which was not gratuitous but a product of the struggle of the peripheral countries for their decolonization. Amid this reality, the United States never gave up extending the Monroe Doctrine to the present day. Making the situation worse, imperial irredentism becomes explicit with President Donald Trump. The Panamanian people’s distrust of the political elite at this juncture is being reproduced in the collective imagination in a marked disinterest in Trump’s imperial irredentism.

What Greenlanders Make Of Donald Trump’s Advances

Greenland’s prime minister has called for unity and calm after Donald Trump reheated his global row with Nato allies on Tuesday, when the US president-elect said he was prepared to use tariffs or military force to seize control of Greenland. The comments led the Greenlandic prime minister, Múte Egede, to say: “Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders.” The UK foreign secretary, David Lammy, said on Thursday that the US seizure of Greenland is “not going to happen”, while Germany and France have warned Trump over annexation.

The International Anti-Fascist World Festival For a New World, held in Caracas, Venezuela, in which more than 2,000 delegates from 125 countries participated, came to an end. At the closing ceremony of the festival, on Saturday, January 11, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro thanked the participants for attending the festival and pointed out that the proposals that have emerged demonstrate the vitality that this movement is gaining. “On behalf of all Venezuela, I thank you for coming to this unprecedented event,” said President Maduro, adding that “we are at peace, in democracy, in full exercise of our national sovereignty, and the people are moving forward in this new stage.”
