Pressenza in English

An International Press Agency that focuses on Peace, Nonviolence, Disarmament, Human Rights and the fight against all forms of Discrimination

Pressenza gives visibility to news, initiatives, proposals and scenarios related to Peace, Nonviolence, Disarmament, Human Rights and the fight against all forms of Discrimination. We place the human being as the central value and concern, and celebrate diversity. Thus, we propose active and lucid journalism that respects these essential premises, aiming towards the resolution of crises and social

conflicts in all latitudes. In this sense, we disseminate research, analysis and actions that contribute to world peace and overcoming violence; prioritising nuclear and conventional disarmament, peaceful resolution of conflicts, their prevention and withdrawal from occupied territories. We also report on all the facts and situations that cause pain and suffering in populations, attempting to comprehend and transform the causes of these events, going beyond being mere spectators. The agency also trains students and volunteers who converge in these principles.

🔴 Urgent Next Steps for Palestine at the UN

⚠️ As U.S. President Donald Trump surely intended, his “20-point Gaza plan” succeeded in upstaging calls by many other world leaders at the UN General Assembly for concrete, coordinated UN-led measures to force Israel to end its criminal genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine. By Nicolas J. S. Davies Trump’s White House meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyah on September 29th coincided with the last day of the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly in New York, where Trump had met with eight Arab and Muslim leaders at the UN and won their support for a proposed…

🔴 Bringing a Howitzer to a Knife Fight: US Armada Off Venezuela

⚠️ Washington’s escalating regime-change offensive against Venezuela uses drug interdiction conflated with combatting “terrorism” as a pretext for the expansion of imperial militarism. By Roger D. Harris Donald Trump boasted striking small boats off Venezuela’s Caribbean coast to “blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water.” Claiming destruction of enough drugs to kill 25,000, he called the extrajudicial murders “an act of kindness.” Then he ominously hinted at a US land invasion of Venezuela now that the marine route for drugs had been obliterated. Mythical “Cartel de los Soles” The Miami Herald described the “precision strike” as targeting the…

🔴 Why It’s Time to Retire ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’

⚠️ Decolonizing our worldview requires decolonizing our language—terms like ‘Global North’ and ‘Global South’ obscure complexity and uphold colonial hierarchies. The term “Global South” gained popularity in the 1990s as a neutral alternative to “Third World,” which had become outdated and derogatory. Paired with the terms “Global North,” these labels were intended to describe economic divides: the “North” referring to wealthier, industrialized nations such as the U.S., Canada, Europe, and parts of East Asia, and the “South” to poorer nations in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. While intended to highlight disparities, these terms are deeply problematic. They are geographically inaccurate, homogenize…

🔴 The Multi-Million-Year Path to Becoming Human—Are We Actually There Yet?

⚠️ A conversation with the legendary evolutionary thinker and archaeologist, Eudald Carbonell. By Jan Ritch-Frel and Deborah Barsky Our chapter in the human evolutionary story is one of a globally connected population that has ballooned thanks to a suite of recent technologies. We frequently congratulate ourselves on these achievements, unique to the animal kingdom. But what if the celebrations are a little premature? Should we take into consideration that more phases of development will come in mind, behavior, and even appearance? Can we identify where we are in the process and what the pathways of change look like? These are the…

🔴 Peace is possible, amplify our voices!

⚠️ On the second anniversary of October 7, we receive and gladly share this message from Maoz Inon, who lost both his parents on that tragic day. Initially reported missing, Bilha and Yakovi Inon were later found burned to death inside the kibbutz where they lived, not far from the wall. Far from giving in to despair or the urge for revenge, Maoz Inon chose the path of forgiveness, as he recounted in several interviews available online, particularly to the BBC when, in tears, he declared that he was mourning not only the loss of his parents, but also for the…

🔴 Russia-Africa: Current Challenges

⚠️ The face of Africa and its global perception are changing dramatically. Until recently, thanks to the efforts of the West and its proxies, the continent was portrayed as an object, not a subject, of international politics, in need of external advice and tutelage. The region was labeled “hopeless.” These stereotypes have, of course, become completely obsolete. Africans have taken their destiny into their own hands, advancing the slogan: “African solutions to African problems.” By Mikhail Berdyev Africa is confidently moving to the forefront of global politics and economics. During the general political debate of the 80th session of the UN…

🔴 Zohran Mamdani and the Revolt Against the Empire of Arrogance

⚠️ Zohran Mamdani’s rise in New York politics is not an accident — it is an act of collective faith by a generation that refuses to surrender. Against a tide of billionaire money, cynical punditry, and corporate media mockery, his campaign has become a quiet revolution. On subway rides and in crowded tenements, in union halls and community parks, the whisper has turned into a chant: “This city belongs to us again.” The Empire Strikes Back That whisper has terrified the old order. The political establishment — the same well-oiled machine that has traded favors and loyalty oaths across party lines…

🔴 Solidarity is not a crime

⚠️ Greta arrives as Gaza continues to burn As soon as she crossed the doors of the international arrivals hall, the crowd erupted into a chant that seemed to carry her forward: Palestinian flags, “Free Palestine” banners, phones held high. Greta Thunberg walked with the short, heavy steps of someone still carrying the night on her back. “Let me be very clear: there is a genocide going on in front of our eyes,” she said before the cameras, facing the press at Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. And she added —as if resetting the compass— that the focus should not be on…

🔴 Two years since October, 7, 2023: we reflect, we reaffirm

⚠️ “Two years have passed since the tragic events of October 7, 2023; a day that shattered lives, deepened divides, and marked the beginning of one of the most horrific chapters in the history of this land. Since then, we have witnessed relentless violence, immeasurable loss, and the complete failure of political leadership on both sides. The war on Gaza has not only destroyed thousands of lives but has also shaken the very foundations of our shared humanity. We are writing to you today, two years later, not only to mourn and reflect, but to reaffirm our vision for a different…

🔴 What Abolishing Militaries Includes

⚠️ Abolition” isn’t just a fun word to say. “I want to abolish prisons,” doesn’t just mean that you think there are too many prisons and they are too horrible. “Abolish the police” isn’t just a hip way to say “I’m angry at abuse by police.” Abolishing something means eliminating it entirely, which often also means creating very different institutions that do things very differently. Entirely means every last speck. Abolishing war, and preparations for war, and weapons of war, and militaries means working for a world in which there exists not a single member of a single military or a…

🔴 Wake Up, America: Democracy Is Disappearing Before Our Eyes

⚠️ America’s democracy is under threat from a velvet-glove authoritarianism. Citizens must act now—beyond the ballot box—to defend freedom and accountability. By Martina Moneke For generations, Americans have been taught that the United States is the world’s beacon of democracy. Politicians across the spectrum speak of the nation as a “shining city on a hill,” a place where freedom and the rule of law set the standard for the rest of the world. But the truth is harder to swallow: the U.S. is drifting away from liberal democracy and toward authoritarianism. A survey of more than 700 political scientists conducted by…

🔴 A Serious Proposal: Russia and China Call for Global Strategic Stability

⚠️ It’s ironic that the arms control community is protesting the idea of resuming nuclear test detonations. The nuclear test detonations have never stopped. Although Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996, he swiftly funded the “Stockpile Stewardship” program at the US nuclear weapons complex, allowing the Dr. Strangeloves in their labs to continue to perform laboratory tests as well as blowup plutonium with chemical explosives,1,000 feet below the desert floor at the Nevada Test Site on Western Shoshone holy land. Since there was no chain reaction causing criticality, Clinton claimed these “sub-critical” tests were not nuclear…
