An Ecuadorian judge ordered the immediate release of nearly 30 fishermen whose two boats were destroyed by the US military in the Pacific Ocean. The Ecuadorian prosecutor’s office had charged them with alleged illegal activities. The lack of evidence served as the basis for the judges to release the fishermen, who deny having collaborated with drug trafficking groups. For their part, the Ecuadorian government and US Southern Command still defend the attacks against them. (more…)

Author Luci Cavallero
LoQueSomos spoke with Cavallero about the economic situation Argentina has been facing since Javier Milei’s government took office. For the sociologist, the country’s debt to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is one of the key factors in understanding what is happening. The destruction of domestic industry, the foreign takeovers of the economy, the rapid rise in unemployment, and the “Uberization” of life for the sectors most affected by the far-right president form a model that Cavallero unpacks in this interview.

The Trump administration is seizing Cuba’s fuel, boarding ships at gunpoint and preparing an invasion. At Florida and Texas ports, federal agents confiscate fuel bound for the island.

On this occasion, I think there’s nothing better than sharing with you the remarkable text that Eduardo Galeano wrote on this subject in * Memory of Fire III: The Century of the Wind *. I am reproducing it without changing a single comma, but I must make one clarification: toward the end of the article, the great Uruguayan writer states that “From La Paz, the order arrives to liquidate the prisoner.” Correct, but the original issuer of the order to assassinate Che was not in La Paz but in Langley, Virginia, where the offices of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency are located.
