“The Motorcycle Diaries” traces the journey that helped shape Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s political consciousness, from a young medical student travelling across South America to a revolutionary committed to transforming society. Pon Chandran examines Guevara’s encounters with poverty, Indigenous communities, exploited workers and social exclusion, and the development of his Pan-Latin American outlook. The article then follows the emergence of foco theory and its application during the Cuban Revolution, before examining its failures in the Congo and Bolivia. It considers the strategic limitations of relying on small guerrilla groups to generate revolutionary movements and places Che’s legacy within the wider history of Latin American revolutionary politics.
Last week, millions of people around the world were subjected to record-breaking heatwaves. At least 25 deaths in the U.S. from this heat dome were reported. The French government also counted over 2,000 excess deaths during the June heatwaves. At the same time, this past weekend, a devastating super typhoon hit the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, leaving islands like Rota, where 2,000 people live, without running water and most buildings impacted.
The United States has launched an all-out assault on the International Criminal Court (ICC). In the past few weeks alone, the Trump administration has vowed to eradicate the top court, pressured countries to withdraw from it, and has attacked progressive political leaders like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani who seek to carry out its mandates.
These attacks are jarring, but they are not new, are not only about Israel, and are not just coming from Republicans.
The pardon of Washington’s ally Juan Orlando Hernández amid an uptick in the US war on drugs signals that trafficking is forgivable, even pardonable, in an ally. Sovereignty is the only unforgivable crime.
Vijay Prashad examines how Iran is seeking to reshape the framework of Middle Eastern diplomacy, moving the discussion beyond its nuclear programme toward a broader debate over regional security, foreign military deployments, sanctions and maritime access. The emerging Iran-Oman discussions over the Strait of Hormuz illustrate this shift, while the Iran-Saudi rapprochement and growing regional diplomacy involving China, Pakistan and other states point to a less exclusively US-led regional order. The article argues that lasting stability will require negotiations involving all major security concerns rather than arrangements that place the burden of compliance primarily on one country. Iran’s strategy is changing the terms of the debate.
Unlike the Zionist claim that “Israel has a right to exist,” my assertion is rooted in international law. Of course, given Israel’s propensity for violating such laws, it’s no surprise they’re still claiming a right that has no basis in reality.
Morales, who is in hiding in Cochabamba, claims that the arrest warrant is an act of political persecution by the right-wing government of Rodrigo Paz.
