Algeria just gave 12 French officials 48 hours to pack up and leave. The expulsion order was issued today, three days after French police arrested three Algerians in Paris, including a staff member of the Algerian consulate.
Algeria condemned the arrests as a violation of diplomatic norms. France defended them as part of an ongoing investigation tied to a suspected kidnapping case.
Just a week earlier, both governments had signaled a shift toward reconciliation. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot had visited Algiers. Macron and Tebboune spoke by phone. That reset now appears to have collapsed.
France colonized Algeria for 132 years, ending in a brutal war that killed over a million Algerians. The French army used mass torture, executions, and scorched-earth campaigns to crush the independence movement.
To this day, France has never fully acknowledged its crimes—and continues to exert pressure on Algerian institutions and individuals, often under the banner of “security” and “counterterrorism.”
Protesters filled the streets of Madrid on Saturday to mark 94 years since the proclamation of the Second Republic. They called for peace, the end of the monarchy, and the creation of a new democratic republic.
The march, backed by Izquierda Unida and other leftist groups, rejected war and militarization and demanded stronger commitments to public education, housing, feminism, environmentalism, and secularism.
The Second Republic, proclaimed in 1931, was a democratic project that introduced secularism, land redistribution, and expanded civil rights. It faced fierce opposition from reactionary forces, culminating in a fascist military coup led by Francisco Franco in 1936.
Pro-Republic forces, which included communists, socialists, liberals, and regional nationalists, resisted Franco through nearly three years of civil war, becoming a global symbol of the anti-fascist struggle, before being crushed by Franco’s forces that were backed by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

The US has once again sent detainees to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison, CECOT—a facility widely condemned for human rights violations. This latest round of deportations is part of a deal between US officials and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.
The latest batch of deported prisoners are said to be linked to criminal networks like Tren de Aragua. However, officials have not released any public evidence.
Under the Trump-Bukele deal, key details—such as the number and identities of those deported—remain secret.
CECOT, a vast maximum-security complex designed to hold 40,000 inmates, has become a symbol of Bukele’s security crackdown and Trump’s deportation policies. Critics have called the prison a “black hole of human rights.”
Human Rights Watch documented at least 238 cases of the US forcibly transferring Venezuelan migrants to CECOT in what HRW labeled as “enforced disappearance.”

A child was sexually abused every 30 minutes in eastern DR Congo. In just two months of fighting, nearly 10,000 cases of sexual violence were reported — up to 45% involving children, according to the UN. The organization calls it not a side effect of war but a deliberate weapon.
The surge followed the advance of M23 rebels, who seized Goma and Bukavu, displacing thousands. UNICEF warns the real toll is likely far higher — hidden under fear, stigma, and silence. Survivors lack access to care, and most perpetrators remain untouched.
As the DR Congo suffers under war and mass displacement, the US is moving to secure control over its vast reserves of cobalt and lithium — minerals essential to its tech and energy industries. Talks are underway to grant US companies access to these resources in exchange for security help.

Today marks the 64th anniversary of the historic achievement of Soviet pilot and cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who became the first person to orbit the Earth.
Soviet archive footage shows Gagarin before liftoff and enthusiastic celebrations in Moscow upon his return. After his space mission, Gagarin famously said, “Looking at the Earth from afar, you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for cooperation.”
Gagarin’s mission into space propelled him to global fame, making him a worldwide icon. He was also recognized as a hero by the Soviet Union and was awarded the Order of Lenin for his remarkable accomplishments.

This morning, 40 migrants were deported from Italy to a migration center in Gjader, Albania.
This marks Italy’s fourth attempt to deport migrants to centers built in Albania. In the first three attempts, Italy transferred asylum seekers intercepted at sea. Both European and Italian courts ruled against the legality of their detention, forcing Italy to return them. Recently, Italy approved a new decree to repurpose the centers in Albania as repatriation hubs.
In Italy, there are ten repatriation hubs, known as “CPR,” located on the outskirts of cities, where the lack of basic rights, as well as psychological and physical abuse, and suicide attempts, have been repeatedly documented. The European Court of Human Rights has repeatedly condemned these Italian hubs for inhuman and degrading treatment. Politicians and NGOs have denounced the lack of transparency surrounding the deportations in Albania.

Türkiye and Israel are negotiating the division of power in Syria.
Recently, military delegations from both countries met in Azerbaijan to discuss a "deconfliction line" aimed at preventing clashes between their forces in Syria. Both Türkiye and Israel are wary of each other’s expansionist ambitions.
While Israel continues its occupation and bombing of Syria, Türkiye is planning to establish military bases, form a joint defense pact with Syria, and support the development of a Syrian air force—all aimed at expanding its own occupation and influence in the country. The deal follows Israel’s bombing of the T4 base in Palmyra, after reports emerged of Ankara’s plans to control the base and equip it with a defense system. Israel has defined Türkiye's expanding military presence in Syria as a red line.
The talks also address US concerns about de-escalating tensions between the two countries. Israeli media have compared the Türkiye-Israel negotiations to Sykes-Picot, highlighting their divisive impact on Syria.
Today, Ahmad al-Sharaa is expected in Ankara to discuss joint military, economic, and diplomatic projects in Syria.

The US has blocked funds from Gulf countries to Lebanon, intensifying pressure on the country to accept its political demands.
Morgan Ortagus, US Deputy Special Envoy to the Middle East, has explicitly outlined the conditions set by the US for Lebanon.Through direct and indirect pressure, the US is pushing for the disarmament of Hezbollah, as well as normalization with Israel, which persists in violating the ceasefire and occupying Lebanon. Beyond the IMF and World Bank, the US has also asked Qatar and Saudi Arabia to halt their financial support to Lebanon, according to Al-Akhbar.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia, both US allies, had pledged economic support for Lebanon following President Aoun's election and the formation of the new government. Facing an economic crisis, Lebanon requires over $6B to rebuild damage caused by Israeli attacks. Hezbollah has secured substantial reconstruction funds and Iran has signaled its readiness to assist, with the US enforcing its maximum pressure policy.
🟡 NOW: Hungary’s parliament has passed a law banning LGBT gatherings, including Pride events. The law, pushed by Viktor Orbán’s far-right Fidesz party, also allows for facial recognition technology to be used to identify and prosecute anyone who attends these now-banned events.

China has ordered a halt to exports of rare earth magnets and a wide range of other critical minerals—an escalation in the trade war triggered by Washington. The move marks a sharp turn from earlier rounds of tariff-based responses.
Rare earth magnets are essential for everything from military weapons systems to electric vehicles. And China controls the market. It produces 90% of the world’s supply. That includes nearly 200,000 tons a year of magnets far stronger than standard iron-based alternatives.
Until 2023, China also held a near-total monopoly on heavy rare earth metals, pumping out 99% of the global supply. The economic blow to China is minimal—these magnets make up only a small slice of its overall exports. But for the US and its allies, the fallout could be massive.

Ecuador’s left has denounced election fraud by the neoliberal government of Daniel Noboa. Luisa González, candidate of the Citizens Revolution party led by ex-president Rafael Correa, says they do not recognize the results, which give a 12-point victory to Noboa despite exit polls showing a tie.
The two official exit polls showed a technical tie—González winning with 51.99% in one, and Noboa with 51.2% in the other. However, official results showed a wide Noboa win, with González gaining almost no votes beyond her first-round tally.
The Citizens Revolution party has posted what they claim to be evidence of ballots being counted without signatures. Their leader, Rafael Correa, posted on social media: “Luisa would have gotten practically the same number of votes as in the first round. They carried out a massive fraud.”
Other irregularities included militarization and voter intimidation in left-leaning coastal regions, votes from Ecuadorians in Venezuela being blocked, and sudden polling station relocations.
Israeli warplanes bombed the operations building of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital, the last functioning hospital in Gaza City. The two-story structure housed the surgical department, intensive care unit, and oxygen generation station.
Hospital staff and eyewitnesses said the Israeli army issued a warning just minutes before the strike, forcing a rushed evacuation of patients and families. Some were wheeled out without proper care. At least three people died as a result, including a child recovering from head injuries.
The attack comes as Gaza’s health system collapses under siege. No fuel or medical supplies have entered in over 40 days. Despite the destruction, hospital staff say they will continue. “We’ll rebuild again.”

Six months after Odair Moniz was killed by police in Portugal, the streets of Amadora still echo with his name. On Saturday, hundreds marched in his memory, not only to honor the man lost but to challenge a system that continues to protect those who kill with a badge.
Odair, a Black man and resident of Cova da Moura, was shot dead by police in October. In the hours that followed, several mainstream news outlets reported that the car he was driving had been stolen. That was false. Police also claimed he had a knife during the shooting, a claim they later admitted was untrue.
In January, the Public Prosecutor formally accused the officer of homicide, a charge that carries a potential sentence of up to 16 years. But he has not been tried, is not in custody, and remains on leave.
The judge now assigned to the case is the same who convicted Cláudia Simões, a Black woman who was beaten by police and then blamed for the assault, which left her face marked with bruises.

Clashes broke out between police and protesters in Peru yesterday as transport workers went on strike against a surge in violent crime. The strike targeted what workers describe as a security crisis spiraling under the neoliberal government of Dina Boluarte. Boluarte, who came to power at the end of 2022 through what many consider a US-backed coup, now faces growing unrest across the country.
In Lima and other cities, criminal gangs have expanded their grip—extorting, robbing, and threatening public transport workers and local businesses. Peru’s security breakdown reflects a wider regional trend, with countries like Ecuador also experiencing a sharp rise in violent crime after years of economic liberalization and weakened public institutions.

🟡 NEW: Leaked emails show Berlin officials pressured their own staff to deport pro-Palestine activists—despite no convictions. One employee initially resisted, then gave in to pressure from above.
German authorities attempted to deport four Palestine solidarity activists without trial. The activists had allegedly participated in a university occupation in Berlin in solidarity with Palestine.
The deportation attempt targeted a US citizen and three EU nationals. One has since challenged the deportation order in court, pausing it temporarily.
The crackdown marks a new level of repression in Germany against pro-Palestine organizing, even expelling individuals with EU and US citizenship purely for political activity. German authorities justify this by citing the so-called “Staatsräson”—the state’s interest, even when it conflicts with morality or the law.
In an interview, those affected stated that “we are being made an example of” to intimidate the Palestine movement in Germany.
Tear gas and repression — the Brazilian police’s response to Indigenous communities peacefully marching for their land rights.
The crackdown unfolded last night in the capital as Indigenous groups were leaving a peaceful demonstration. Officers used chemical agents against the crowd. Federal lawmaker Célia Xakriabá, of the leftist PSOL party, was among those targeted. She required medical attention after being denied passage, despite identifying herself.
Brazil’s leading Indigenous organizations condemned the violence, describing it as yet another example of state-sanctioned aggression against their communities. The march had called on the government to officially recognize ancestral lands and protect them from agribusiness interests.

Today, in 2002, right-wing forces backed by the US attempted to overthrow former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, but were ultimately defeated by popular resistance. Watch this powerful speech by the Bolivarian revolutionary, who rallied thousands against imperialism.
On April 11, 2002, the Venezuelan elite, the Church, and segments of the military organized a coup against then-President Hugo Chávez. However, the Venezuelan people flooded the streets to defend the Bolivarian Revolution and overpowered the US-backed right-wing coup.
The coup plotters aimed to install a de facto government led by Pedro Carmona, a business mogul and former president of the chamber of commerce, who intended to dissolve all other state powers and local authorities.
The people brought Chávez back to power within just 47 hours. The counterrevolutionary offensive backfired, as the mass mobilization politicized wider segments of the population, who organized themselves into Bolivarian collectives.

🟡 BREAKING: Israeli occupation forces placed Ahmad Manasra, arrested at 13 and jailed for 9 years, under house arrest just hours after his release. Authorities set bail at 3,000 shekels. Detained in occupied Jerusalem, Manasra became a symbol of Israel’s imprisonment of Palestinian youth.
His release was carried out away from the prison, in an attempt to prevent his family from receiving him. He was left alone in a remote area near Beersheba, where a passerby eventually found him and contacted his family. The family, who had waited outside Nafha Prison in the south, reunited with him only later.
