Following the fragile memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, on 26 June 2026 the Lebanese and Israeli governments signed, with the sponsorship of the United States, “a framework agreement”. In addition to representing a capitulation to US and Israeli political interests, this “agreement”, in its conclusion, threatens to transform the Lebanese state into a security subcontractor of Tel Aviv and thus deepen both political and sectarian tensions in the country.

“Almost no one in Colombia expected a victory for the candidate Abelardo de la Espriella in the first round, on May 31. He was able to capture the political zeitgeist within large sectors that were bitter enemies of the peace process and opposed the policy of change proposed by President Petro.”

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who took office on January 1, 2026, has already advanced his agenda and become a political king-maker. Mamdani ran promising universal childcare, lowering rents, and making buses free. He hasn't achieved all, but he is well on his way. At the same time, he was able to dominate the recent elections in New York City.

“It is a matter of basic social justice that those who have more should pay more in taxes and that workers receive higher and better wages, pensions, and working conditions. In the last year, Mexico's 24 wealthiest individuals earned US$100 billion, an astronomical figure that contrasts sharply with the stagnation of real wages.”

The 1976 Soweto uprising sparked a resurgence of militancy and helped to undermine apartheid in South Africa.

Russia is continuing its war of attrition against the Ukrainian people, but is struggling to make significant progress on the ground.

As Europe endures its second spring heatwave of the year, the established powers are not confronting capital's grip on energy, finance, and agriculture — they are tightening it. Daniel Tanuro, Belgian ecosocialist and author of The Impossibility of Green Capitalism, argues that what is happening is not accidental but systemic: fossil investment grows, G7 leaders congratulate climate deniers, and even the European Commission dismantles its own inadequate green measures. The Holocene is over; (…)

The country is now led by General Abdourahamane Tiani.

For more than a week, the European media have been regularly relaying images of Albania, usually absent from the Western press: thousands of demonstrators, flags or placards in hand, can be seen in the streets of Tirana or elsewhere. They have been gathering incessantly since 30 May 2026 against planned tourism projects in Zvërnec, near the Narta Lagoon, as well as on the island of Sazan. Beyond the ecological issues, the barbed wire installed on the coast against which activists are pressing has become, for the people, the symbol of a major political issue: that of the progressive dispossession of their territory and future.

Despite a very large popular vote against her, Fujimori's far-right party was declared the winner of the election. The mobilisation must be stepped up and turned into social struggles.

MIHANDS has always been fueled by people, not deep pockets. Because we lack the massive financial reserves and pre-staged stockpiles of larger international agencies, our response standard operating procedure is a race against time to mobilize—gathering our volunteer network, fundraising, and sourcing materials from scratch whenever a crisis hits.

Albania rarely makes the headlines. In recent weeks, however, this small Balkan country has been the scene of a struggle against the ravages of capitalism, which sacrifices the environment for profits — in this case for the leisure of the richest.
