Africa: AU & UN Leaders Denounce External Interferences in Africa’s Security Crisis! (15.5.2026)

Youssouf said the interferences are requiring the AU, UN and other partners to deploy more efforts to contain the crises. “The AU must lead any peace negotiations on the continent, based on the principle of African solutions to African conflicts.”

Guterres, for his part, said it is absolutely intolerable that countries that are external to Africa interfere in African conflicts, providing weapons and political support with the objective of serving their strategic or economic interests.

“We need naturally to go on developing our common diplomacy, to make sure that we create the conditions for this kind of interference to cease and for other actors to be able to come to political agreements, able to end these conflicts,” he said.

According to Guterres, the world is witnessing a new kind of war where the military does not fight each other but launches drones against civilians.

“We also raise our voices, denouncing those countries that are providing drones that are not manufactured in Africa, as they are causing terrible sacrifice for the African people,” he added.

Cuba: Presidential Statement on Fuel Shortages! (13.5.2036)

A small group of ultra-rightists who have hijacked the policy towards Cuba and lie or deliberately and cynically misinform about the Cuban reality, while demanding more suffocation and threats against our people, fear this improvement.

Our response remains the same: always willing to dialogue on equal terms, we will continue to resist and create, convinced more and more that it is up to us to overcome the enormous difficulties with our own efforts, united as a nation, and firm to face the most difficult challenges.

The ruling will not directly lead to the reunification of Kronvold and her daughter.

Denmark: Embarrassing [Indigenous Greenlandic] “Ethnic-Cleansing” Policy Abandoned! (12.5.2026)

The Guardian Newspaper used to be the best intellectual tome for the left – (about 30-years ago) I used to read it cover to cover (when commuting on long-distance trains) – but its bourgeois, Trotskyite, centre-right political trajectory today just makes me sick. Do not buy it or encourage it. However, every so often there is an article – the content of which is far more important – than the Guardian betraying the working-class. I once met an Icelandic person (and his daughter) who looked “Asian” – and he told me that indigenous peoples in Iceland, Greenland, and elsewhere – were originally from Asia thousands of years ago – but today suffer discrimination from the White Europeans who colonised these areas. Indeed, and perhaps of the greatest irony, is the fact that the racist Trump has attempted to annex Greenland, and this ambition has inadvertently highlighted an extremely “racist” policy hiding in plane sight. Denmark, of course, collaborated with Nazi Germany with many of its men joining Hitler’s SS. The White Danish Authorities inflict a “Civilisation” test on Indigenous people in Greenland to see how “White” they behave. When they fail these racist tests – their children are removed. Absolutely disgusting!

Speech delivered by Miguel Mario Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, at the closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity with Cuba, at the Convention Center, on May 2, 2026, "Year of the Centennial of Commander in Chief Fidel Castro Ruz."

Cuba: May Day Speech Delivered at the Closing of the International Meeting of Solidarity! (3.5.2026)

When it is said that we are an extraordinary and unusual threat to the United States – and we are sure that this is not the feeling of the American people, that is the pretext used by the American government to attack us – one wonders: What is the threat, what is extraordinary about that threat, what is unusual about that threat, when Cuba is a country of peace, when Cuba is a country that has served as the setting for the main peace dialogues in the Latin American and Caribbean region, when Cuba was the place where the Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church came to meet to resolve the schism they had maintained for more than fifteen hundred years?

I try to answer that question every day, but, as Bruno explains, there is no pretext, there is no reason to justify military aggression against Cuba. Well, that “extraordinary and unusual threat” may be the example of resistance and creativity of the Cuban people.

When we talk about solidarity, I think we are talking about three elements that distinguish the value of international solidarity:

One is the tenderness of the peoples, because among all of us we have learned to share something that Fidel taught us, and that is that we do not give out of solidarity what we have left over, but we give what we have to share it among all.

UK Exporting Weaponry to Israel - Liege Airport - Belgium

Skwawkbox: UK Firm Refuses Questions on Arms to Israel Seized in Belgium! (1.5.2026)

US aerospace company Moog’s UK subsidiary has declined to comment on the seizure of a consignment of military components by Belgian authorities while en route to Israel. According to a statement released by the Walloonian government, the consignment did not bear a declaration that the items were for military use as required by Belgian law and did not have the compulsory ‘transit licence’.

A second UK arms consignment has now also been seized, though the manufacturer of that one has not yet been named. But the UK company involved in the first one has: Moog, specifically its Wolverhampton facility.
