Dear friends and
colleagues,
On
3 January 2026, the
United States invaded
Venezuela, capturing
the sitting president,
Nicolás Maduro, and
the First Lady, Cilia
Flores. While
officially framed as
an operation to
counter drug
trafficking, the
invasion has been
widely condemned by
leaders from the
Global South and
progressive civil
society as an act of
aggression, an attack
on sovereignty, and a
violation of
international law.
Beyond
the immediate event,
this invasion exposes
deeper imperialist
designs with
historical precedents,
both globally and in
the specific case of
Venezuela.
Understanding this
moment requires a
nuanced analysis of
the broader
geopolitical context,
the forces at play,
and the implications
for Venezuela, the
region, and Global
South countries and
communities moving
forward.
To
unpack these
developments, we
invite you to join our
upcoming webinar:
