Working from the principle of supporting ‘Black History Month’ – with the added ‘twist’ of those ‘people of colour’ who continue to betray the international working-class by collaborating with the bourgeoisie – the ‘White’ class that gave us ‘capitalism’ and ‘institutional’ slavery! !

UK: Ancient DNA Reveals West African Ancestry in Early Medieval England! (4.1.2026)

Archaeologists have analysed the DNA of two unrelated individuals buried in seventh-century-AD cemeteries on the south coast of England, revealing that they both had recent ancestors, likely grandparents, from West Africa.

During the Early Middle Ages, England saw significant migration from continental northern Europe. Historical accounts describe the settlement of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who gave their names to the Anglo-Saxon period and perhaps the country itself. However, the extent of movement from further afield was less clear.

“Migration and its direction, scale and impact have been much debated in European archaeology,” state the authors. “Archaeogenetic research can now provide new insight, even identifying individual migrants”.

Colombia: Ancient Checua DNA Reveals “New Group of Humans” With No Genetic Ties to People Today! (4.1.2026)

Scientists have found genetic evidence of an ancient group of people in Colombia with no modern-day descendants. It’s as if they simply vanished from the face of the Earth. What’s more, they’re also not closely related to the ancient Native American populations that scientists had thought would be their ancestors.

“This is unexpected,” Andre Luiz Campelo dos Santos, an archaeologist from Florida Atlantic University who did not participate in the research, tells Adithi Ramakrishnan at the Associated Press. “Up to this point, we didn’t believe there was any other lineage that would appear in South America.”

An international team of researchers described the discovery in a study published in late May in the journal Science Advances. They analyzed DNA from the bones and teeth of 21 individuals found at five archaeological sites in the Altiplano—the high plains around Bogotá—dating to between 500 and 6,000 years ago. The analyses represent Colombia’s first ancient human genomes ever to be published.

Venezuela: Footage of US Aggression – World Opposes Trump Terrorism! (4.1.2026)

The United States conducted “criminal strikes against the people of Venezuela,” the ambassador said, noting that the objective was to exert control over the country’s natural resources.

The U.S. military launched a series of attacks against Venezuela early Saturday morning, during which Maduro was captured and flown out of the country along with his wife. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro will face trial in the United States.

The military action against the South American nation has drawn widespread international condemnation, with multiple countries calling for a coordinated global response.

Venezuela: South Africa First to Oppose US War Crimes & US Crimes Against Humanity! (3.1.2026)

The Bolivarian Government and the people of Venezuela express their sincerest gratitude to South Africa for its prompt convening of a session of the UN Security Council, in response to the unilateral military action of the United States against Venezuela, which constitutes a flagrant violation of the United Nations Charter. Likewise, we value its urgent call to all UN Member States to refrain from threatening or using force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any nation.
