Chile’s far-right President, José Antonio Kast, ignored the 53rd anniversary of the September 11, 1973, coup d’état, when General Augusto Pinochet (1915–2006) overthrew the government of Salvador Allende (1970–1973).

Colombia’s decision to withdraw its intervention in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice does not affect the proceedings, South Africa’s arguments or the Court’s jurisdiction, according to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. The organisation explains that Colombia was an intervening state under Article 63 of the ICJ Statute, not the applicant, and therefore could not halt or withdraw the case itself. The article also examines Colombia’s continuing obligations under the Genocide Convention, including the duty to prevent and punish genocide. It calls on states to support international accountability efforts and uphold the independence of the Court.
Trump’s campaign to bring Greenland under US control is presented as a national-security project, but Greenlanders have overwhelmingly rejected joining the United States. Vijay Prashad examines the island’s strategic importance, the extensive US military presence already established there, and the historical costs borne by Greenlanders. The article places Trump’s demands within the broader framework of the Monroe Doctrine and its modern “Donroe Doctrine” formulation, linking Greenland to Washington’s wider hemispheric ambitions. It also traces Greenland’s struggle for self-government and independence, arguing that strategic interests, mineral resources and military geography cannot override the political rights and self-determination of Greenland’s people.
Gaza has the world’s largest concentration of child amputees thanks to Israel’s genocidal war. Now, as Australian charities seek to deliver hundreds of wheelchairs to the children injured in the onslaught, Israel has reportedly been blocking them for more than a year and a half.
When Tony Wood talks about the debates of the Mexican left in the 1920s and 30s, some of the questions sound familiar. For example, when a more progressive but still capitalist government is in power, as in Mexico after its 1910 revolution, some in the broad left condemned it, others supported it as a positive step. This debate is occurring again today. Is the Morena party a revolutionary force, a “4th transformation”? Or is it still fundamentally a capitalist party like the old PRI, just throwing the poor a bigger bone?
The Coalition for the Elimination of Imperialism in Africa
The debate over constitutional reform in the Democratic Republic of Congo is unfolding amid a deeper security, economic and social crisis. This article examines the proposed changes through a class-based and anti-imperialist perspective, arguing that institutional reform cannot be separated from the material conditions facing Congolese workers and communities. It traces the political evolution from the 2006 Constitution and Félix Tshisekedi’s rise to power to the current referendum process, while examining concerns over a possible third presidential term. The article also considers the country’s vast mineral wealth, foreign economic interests, poverty and weak public services, and argues that lasting democratic transformation requires greater popular control over resources and institutions.
