Humanity started out in 2025 with all of the signposts of authoritarianism, neofascism, ethnic cleansing and Black resistance.

It is with great sadness that Pambazuka News mourns the passing of journalist Paddy Coulter, who joined the ancestors on Sunday, 3 November 2024.  Paddy was a champion of social justice and one of the founders of Pambazuka News.
