In Yemen, US Continues Long History Of Deliberately Bombing Hospitals

In repeatedly targeting and destroying a cancer center in Yemen, the United States has carried on a long pattern of bombing hospitals. On March 24, the United States carried out a premeditated attack on the Al Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital in Saada, Yemen, turning it into rubble. At least two people were killed and 13 more injured. This was not an isolated incident. Eight days previously, on March 16, Washington launched 13 separate airstrikes against the building, systematically destroying the hospital’s five blocks. The Anti-Cancer Fund, a local government medical organization, described the events as a clear “war crime.”

Pentagon Head Makes Military Threats In Visit To Panama

On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited Panama to attend the Central American Security Conference, an initiative of the U.S. military’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM). SOUTHCOM is one of the 11 unified combatant commands in the U.S. Department of Defense, responsible for contingency planning, operations, and security cooperation in Central and South America and the Caribbean. During the conference, Hegseth announced a series of joint military operations with the Panamanian military, scheduled to take place from April 8 to 10.

Pentagon Prepares To Expand ‘Unrelenting’ Attacks Against Yemen

The US signaled on 7 April that it is planning to step up its violent campaign of airstrikes on Yemen, which have killed dozens since last month, including women and children. "It's been a bad three weeks for the Houthis, and it's about to get worse," US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Monday in the Oval Office, while seated near US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “It's been a devastating campaign, whether it's underground facilities, weapons manufacturing, bunkers, troops in the open-air defense assets – we are not going to relent, and it's only to get more unrelenting until the Houthis declare they will stop shooting at our ships,” Hegseth added.

Militarizing The Ledger, Colonizing The Future

When we begin to examine U.S. hegemony, the Military-Industrial Complex often serves as the shorthand for understanding the entangled relationship between investment capital, militarism, neocolonial extraction, and unipolar power. But to truly unravel this system, we must look deeper into how the Military-Debt Nexus is legitimized—not only through ideological alignment or geopolitical pressure, but through institutional mechanisms such as trade agreements, national accounting rules, and debt-financed militarization. The intersection between military expenditure and global trade is not incidental; it forms the core infrastructure of compliance and control, shaping everything from resource acquisition to sanctions enforcement, all under the veil of economic normalcy.

What Can And Cannot Be Done, Cannot Be Undone

The sediment of history accumulates through class struggle, imperial conquest, and the shifting modes of production. The wreckage promoted by U.S. exceptionalism does not erase this sediment—it lies atop it like a hideous flesh, giving the skeleton of history a monstrous form, shaping its contours while masking its deeper truths. This neoliberal flesh is not merely ideological but structural—built into the very institutions that manage global capital and coercion. What has been done in the name of democracy, security, or market liberalization reflects not just policy choices, but the material interests of a ruling class determined to privatize and reproduce its dominance.

Congress, Trump Administration Use Weapons And Threats To Continue Israel’s War

US senators voted 82-15 and 83-15 on 3 April to reject two resolutions of disapproval regarding Washington's massive arms transfers and other military assistance to Israel. The resolutions were offered by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and received the support of only 15 out of 45 Democrats in the Senate. “The United States must end our complicity in these atrocities, we cannot be part of this any longer,” Sanders said in a video he released on Wednesday. Sanders has presented four resolutions since January 2024 to end or freeze US arms transfers to Israel, with none of them passing a vote on the Senate floor.

Veterans For Peace Delegation Visits Nicaragua

In a powerful demonstration of international solidarity, seven members of Veterans For Peace (VFP) visited Nicaragua in mid-to-late March as an official VFP delegation. Veterans from five U.S. states flew to Nicaragua on March 19 for a week-long visit to community clinics, regional colleges, vocational schools, youth groups and mayors in several Nicaraguan cities, including the capital Managua, Matagalpa, Masaya and Ciudad Sandino. The veterans were most impressed to learn that Nicaragua, the third poorest country in the western hemisphere, is providing free, high quality healthcare and education for all its people.

Ecuador: Luisa González Signs Unity Pact To Counter Neoliberalism

This Sunday, March 30, as the electoral campaign for Ecuador’s presidential elections on April 13 progresses, Luisa González, candidate of the leftist Citizen Revolution movement, participated in the National Meeting for an Equitable, Plurinational, and Violence-Free Ecuador. There, she signed an agreement with indigenous movements and other social organizations ahead of the runoff.

Venezuela To Receive UN Assistance For Migrants Illegally Imprisoned In El Salvador

The United Nations secretary general and the UN high commissioner for human rights “expressed their commitment to activating all the available mechanisms to re-establish as soon as possible the flagrantly violated rights of the Venezuelan migrants” abducted in El Salvador. This was reported by the Foreign Affairs Ministry of Venezuela via a statement issued on Friday, March 28. This comes after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro held a telephone conversation with UN Secretary General António Guterres two days ago about the issue of the Venezuelan migrants deported from the US and illegally incarcerated in a maximum-security prison in El Salvador.

Millions Rally In Yemen To Mark Quds Day In Defiance Of US-Led War

Millions of Yemenis took to the streets of the capital Sanaa and other areas of the country on 28 March to commemorate International Quds Day, which falls annually on the last Friday of every Ramadan. The mass rallies came one day after over a dozen violent US airstrikes struck the Yemeni capital. “We will continue to stand against the Zionist enemy and the American enemy in confronting their aggression against Gaza and Yemen. The Yemeni people's commemoration of Quds Day is evidence of the sincerity of their religious affiliation, their actual adherence to sanctities, and their high willingness to sacrifice,” Yemeni protest movements said in a joint statement from the capital’s Al-Sabeen Square during the rallies on Friday.

US Boosts Military Presence In Indian Ocean

The Pentagon has increased its forces near Yemeni and Iranian waters, stationing several B-2 stealth bombers and F-35 jets at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean. "In the past week, dozens of heavy transport planes have landed at bases in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Kuwait, and Diego Garcia – in what appears to be a surge in the usual pace of flights to the region,"Haaretz reported on 27 March, based on satellite imagery and analysis of over-the-air flight data. Analysis of data transmitted during the flight indicates that they arrived loaded. At least three transport planes took off from Whitman Air Force Base in the US, home to the B-2 stealth bombers.

US, UK Launch Raids On Yemeni Capital As Trump Threatens ‘Long’ War

US warplanes carried out at least 15 air raids on the southern and northeastern regions of Yemen's capital late on 26 March, including airstrikes in the vicinity of Sanaa International Airport. Washington and London have been relentlessly bombing Yemen over the past several days, killing dozens, including women and children, in an attempt to stop Sanaa's military operations against Israel. On Wednesday morning, the western coalition renewed its targeting of the Sahar District of the Saada governorate. This region had been targeted with two dozen airstrikes in the middle of the night.

The ‘Disappearing’ War Chat

In his article about being invited by U.S. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz to a Signal chat with the U.S. secretaries of state, defense and treasury, the U.S. vice president and the directors of national intelligence and the C.I.A., Atlantic magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg writes that Waltz set at least some of the text messages in the chat to disappear. Goldberg wrote: Waltz set some of the messages in the Signal group to disappear after one week, and some after four. That raises questions about whether the officials may have violated federal records law: Text messages about official acts are considered records that should be preserved.

JD Vance: West Wants Global South Trapped At Bottom Of Value Chain

US Vice President JD Vance gave a speech about globalization that made it clear that Washington’s goal is to keep formerly colonized countries in the Global South trapped at the bottom of the global value chain. Vance acknowledged that the US-led West wants to maintain a strict international division of labor, in which poor countries in the periphery produce low value-added goods (with lots of competition and therefore low profits), whereas the rich nations in the core extract exorbitant monopoly rents through their control over high value-added technologies (with little to no competition, reinforced by strict intellectual property rights).

El Tren De Aragua: The Defunct Venezuelan Band

Until the designation as a “transnational criminal organization” by the US in 2024, the course of the now-disbanded group was narrated by a network of US think tanks, media and funds that constructed a discourse against the Bolivarian Revolution. This construction currently serves to justify sanctions, carry out mass deportations and feed the false idea of a failed state in Venezuela. In July 2024, when the US Treasury Department included Tren de Aragua on its list of transnational criminal organizations, it equated it with cartels such as Sinaloa or Jalisco Nueva Generación, which have a presence in more than 100 countries and have more than 45,000 members, associates and facilitators.
