One month after the early hours of January 3, eyes return to El Avila, Venezuela. From its hillsides, the Caracas valley opens up in full: in the distance, the strip of the Caribbean Sea; closer in, the sprawling city; and between them, the mountain as a line of separation and shelter. The park, declared in 1958 and officially called Waraira Repano in its indigenous language, “Sierra Grande” -Large Mountain Range- functions as a green lung and a natural border between the capital and the coast.

Washington’s strategy to recolonize America

This week, Honduras inaugurated a new president, Nasry Asfura, a construction magnate backed by seemingly strange bedfellows: members of the notorious MS-13 gang and President Trump.
