Meet the US Students Studying Medicine in Cuba for Free

Rania Khalek paid a visit to the Latin American School of Medicine in Havana, also known as ELAM. Cuba’s socialist government foots the bill for students, who come from all over the world to study medicine for free. Tuition, accommodation and board are all covered. Cuba even throws in a government stipend for students to live on. The one condition? Graduates have to return to serve in low-income communities. A testament to Cuba's commitment to internationalism, ELAM is one of the largest medical schools in the world, with tens of thousands of students enrolling in a given year from over 100 countries. During her visit to the campus, Rania had the chance to catch up with current 2nd year medical students from the U.S., and asked them about their experiences studying in Cuba.

A Cuban Cryptographer Killed in US Attacks on Venezuela

Yunio was a Cuban communications specialist in the Ministry of the Interior. A cryptographer. The father of three children. He was sent to Venezuela on an internationalist mission, which was helping Yunio save money to buy a house. None of his friends and family imagined that he was at risk. Yunio died on January 3, when U.S. military forces killed more than 100 people while abducting Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro. In this interview, journalist Claudia Rafaela Ortiz remembers her close friend: his work, his deep sense of duty, his dreams, and the moment she learned that he had been killed during the U.S. attack

Cuban Ambassador Denounces US Oil Blockade

Cuba is facing a growing humanitarian crisis due to a U.S.-imposed oil blockade. The Trump administration has also threatened new tariffs against any nation that sends fuel to Cuba, which has been under a U.S. trade embargo since 1962. These measures have caused fuel shortages and widespread blackouts, while the cost of food and transportation has skyrocketed. "This is a massive violation of human rights," says Ernesto Soberón Guzmán, Cuban ambassador to the United Nations. "It's a massive violation of international law."

La conversación aborda el papel de Venezuela y de la Revolución Bolivariana, el impulso de las comunas como forma de poder popular y la articulación de las luchas del Sur Global, desde Palestina hasta América Latina. En esta entrevista, Ramón Grosfoguel y Katya Colmenares reflexionan sobre la lucha por la vida en el contexto actual de crisis civilizatoria, guerras, colonialismo y avance de la inteligencia artificial. A partir del pensamiento de Enrique Dussel, el diálogo pone en el centro la vida como principio ético, la crítica al individualismo moderno y la necesidad de recuperar la comunidad, la solidaridad y la ética como fundamentos de la acción política de los pueblos.

The US has kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. They may use the language of freedom, but what this is really about is theft, which is what the U.S. was built on. Venezuela is just a window into how American power and wealth have always worked – through plunder. Analysis and video by Uncivilized Media.

Journalist José Luis Granados discusses the U.S.-engineered catastrophic crisis unfolding in Cuba and his new Drop Site News report, “Marco Rubio Is Deliberately Blocking Trump From Cuba Talks.” He reveals how threats to punish countries supplying oil are causing blackouts, crippling hospitals, and worsening a humanitarian disaster, while Rubio blocks negotiations to push regime change. Granados warns that the assault on Cuba’s sovereignty carries consequences for all of Latin America, and highlights growing calls for international solidarity to break the blockade.

Argentina’s Massive Protests After Milei’s Labor Reform

Thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of Buenos Aires as the Senate debated President Javier Milei’s proposed labor reform. Social movements, unions, and workers denounced the bill as a “labor precariousness” law that would dismantle hard‑won rights, including the eight‑hour workday, by introducing 12‑hour shifts without overtime pay and extending trial periods up to a year. Protesters warned it would criminalize strikes and force workers to finance their own severance through a self‑funded dismissal scheme.

In a recent 30-minute conversation with Mumia Abu-Jamal to talk about Frantz Fanon, the revolutionary writer and psychiatrist whose work on race and anti-colonial resistance is more relevant now than ever. The interview covers imperial violence, ICE, the Black Panther Party, the dystopian ramifications of AI, fear as a tool of empire, the abject failure of artists and culture producers to meet the moment, and the irreversible psychological effects of reading "The Wretched of the Earth." Mumia is a veteran Black Panther who joined the Philadelphia chapter at just 15 years old as the Minister of Information. He is also an award-winning journalist and author of numerous books while incarcerated. Mumia will be 72 in April, and he has been in state prison since 1982 despite being both factually innocent and legally not guilty of the crime he was accused of committing. He continues to suffer elder abuse and medical neglect in the prison system. Locked in a cell for 23 hours a day, Mumia spends his time either writing his PhD dissertation on Fanon or performing autopsies on this dying empire through scathing commentaries and radio broadcasts on Prison Radio.

La CIA Armo al CJNG

En este análisis, Jesús Escobar Tovar explora una de las preguntas más polémicas sobre la violencia en México: ¿existió una relación entre la CIA, el CJNG y la construcción del relato alrededor de los grandes capos? A partir del caso de Nemesio Oseguera “El Mencho”, este video revisa cómo se ha construido la figura del capo en el discurso público, qué papel han jugado los intereses políticos y económicos, y por qué el narcotráfico no puede entenderse solo como un fenómeno criminal, sino también como un asunto geopolítico.

The Mind of the Colonized

In this powerful clip from the Institute of the Black World 21st Century’s (IBW21) recent Pan African Unity Dialogue (PAUD), labor activist Bill Fletcher Jr. shares insights from his personal meeting with Fidel Castro and provides a historical masterclass on the racial dynamics of the Caribbean.

Silent Ethnic Cleansing in Ecuador

The Grayzone's Oscar Leon interviews Tsunki Chup, a leader of Ecuador's Shuar people, who are currently being forced into extinction, and Angel Antip, former Shuar Federation President. For years, the Shuar have been fighting their removal from one of the last biodiverse endemic areas on Earth. Now, they face unprecedented pressure under the government of US puppet President Daniel Noboa, who has opened up his country's lands to satisfy the relentless US drive for copper and rare earth minerals. This is the latest in a years-long series of reports by Leon on the Shuar's fight for survival in the face of over-extraction and political corruption.

Cuba Power Grid Collapses

Cuba's electrical grid has collapsed. The island-wide blackout comes amid a harsh U.S. oil blockade and recent comments from President Donald Trump that he wants to "take" Cuba. No oil shipments have reached the country, located just south of Florida, in three months, compounding a humanitarian crisis caused by decades of severe U.S. sanctions. "Sanctions are literally killing people right now," says Cuban journalist Daniel Montero, speaking from Havana. "We understand what this oil embargo means, and [what] sanctions have always meant. This is regime change through starvation." Historian Sara Kozameh, who recently returned from Cuba, adds, "Cubans have fought for sovereignty many, many times. And they're not going to just sort of lie there while this is happening."

Obama, Trump, and Biden stood by their man in Tegucigalpa for the eight vicious, destructive years he was in power.
