A reminder that as the US continues to threaten countries around the world, fedposting is to be very much avoided (even with qualifiers like “in Minecraft”) and comments containing it will be removed.

Image is from this article, of protestors in Mexico tearing down a steel fence.

While military, economic, and covert pressure on Venezuela and nearby countries in South America proper continues to mount, a similar process is occurring against Mexico, currently under the leadership of the very popular Sheinbaum, who has generally followed the footsteps of AMLO in terms of policies.

While figures in the Trump administration have made statements to the effect of wishing to bomb Mexican territory, internal pressure within Mexico is rather hard to generate when the government is doing generally positive things for people. As such, protests - comically denoted “Gen Z protests” despite young people being a vanishingly small proportion - have arisen in Mexico, very obviously astroturfed by pro-US and anti-Sheinbaum interests. The first protest, on November 15th, gathered less than 20,000 people, while the second, on November 20th, gathered perhaps 200. Article headlines suggesting that Mexico was “on the verge of collapse” have proven rather sensational and wishcast-y.

While it’s easy to poke fun at these farces (I certainly am), it’s important to keep in mind that soft coups have long been part of the American strategy in Latin America, and with unlimited money and many resources to throw at a project, even incompetent forces can eventually create enough chaos that it can make the ruling president or party feel forced to resign. Such eventualities are certainly not inevitable, and even weak states can provide enough resistance to force the US to try a hard coup instead, with outright bombing campaigns and covert military operations. Cuba has provided perhaps the best example in the western hemisphere of how such plots can be subverted with enough national support (e.g. the hundreds of times the CIA tried to kill/maim Castro, plus the Bay of Pigs debacle), but you do have to be willing to take extraordinary measures to do this - the sorts of measures figures like Chile’s Allende did not take in the 1970s, and the measures Venezuela’s Maduro appears to be taking right now. We shall see what path Sheinbaum takes.

While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.

    Statements from the A-APRP on the coup in Guinea Bissau. The tl;dr is that the coup is a fake coup because the current president doesn’t want to step down after losting the election and the military forces who instigated the coup are loyal to him anyways.

    statement 1

    PRESS RELEASE

    Urgent Message: Military Attempting To Stop Electoral Process In Guinea Bissau 11/26/2025

    The West African Country of Guinea Bissau held presidential and legislative elections on Sunday 23rd of November, 2025. Prior to election day the illegally established Supreme Court disqualified the African Party of Independence of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC) candidates by inventing the technicality that the PAIGC had not submitted its candidates before the due date. This illegal exclusion led the PAIGC to endorse the candidacy of Fernando Dias da Costa, Social Renewal Party (PRS) President and backed by the Inclusive Patriot Alliance (API) Big Calabash and the Terra Ranka Coalition led by Domingos Simões Pereira of the PAIGC.

    Upon completion of voting, official reports to the Regional Electoral Commissions (CRE) from the 10 Regions indicate that Fernando Dias da Costa won the election with a confirmed vote tally of 54%, while Ebalo SIssoco, the illegitimate president seeking re-election, garnered 44% of the vote. These results were confirmed and signed today, 26 November and are due to be officially proclaimed on tomorrow, 27 November by the National Electoral Commission.

    In an attempt to prevent the announcement of Sissoco’s defeat, military forces loyal to him attempted to invade several Regional Electoral Commissions (CRE) but were unable due to the Masses of People who surrounded the CRE Headquarters.

    On 26 November, after Sissoco himself announced to several news outlets, such as Jeune Afrique, that he was the victim of a coup, the same group of soldiers loyal to Sissoco announced on National Television that they have “…taken Total Control of the Country…”. Shots have been fired in the streets of the Capitol City Bissau. Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the African Party of Independence of Guinea Bissau (PAIGC), and President of the National People’s Assembly (ANP) has been arrested by these same military forces loyal to Embalo Sissoco. Sissoco’s whereabouts remain unknown.

    The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) and our sister Party the PAIGC view these military actions as a futile attempt to keep Sissoco in power by pretending to be the victim of a military coup which Sissoco himself orchestrated after falsely proclaiming himself the winner of the elections. The revolting military forces intervened when both candidates claimed to win the election, causing a “crisis of uncertainty”. Their real intent is to prevent the proclamation of Fernando Dias da Costa and his PAIGC backers, the winners of Sunday’s election.

    The A-APRP calls upon all international institutions, regional bodies, progressive and peace loving People, to join the masses of People in Guinea Bissau to demand:

    The immediate release of Domingos Simões Pereira and all citizens that have been illegally detained That the military harm no one That all military troops return to the barracks That the electoral process be allowed to go forward with the official proclamation of the vote count and announcement of the winners of the Sunday’s elections.

    We soundly condemn the desperate attempt by Sissoco and his imperialist masters to once again overthrow the popular will of the Guinean masses and thwart the sovereignty of Guinea Bissau.

    STATEMENT

    We condemn the fascist coup d’État led by Umaru Sissoko Embaló and demand the immediate release of Comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, PAIGC President, and Fernando Dias da Costa, President-Elect of Guinea-Bissau.

    Since yesterday, 26 November 2025, a fascist scenario has unfolded — a self-coup orchestrated by Umaru Sissoko Embaló, who was overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. The very clear aim is to prevent the electoral body from announcing results that are unfavorable to this well-known agent of the neo-colonial system.

    The blatant proof of this grotesque scheme is the arrest of our Brave and Fearless comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the PAIGC (a member party of OPAO/WAPO), and President-Elect Fernando Dias da Costa.

    Umaru Sissoko Embaló thus reveals himself once again as a habitual coup instigator and a fierce Enemy of Democracy, of the Sovereignty of the People, and of its Republican Institutions. Already in December 2023, he dissolved the democratically elected National People’s Assembly.

    The West African Peoples Organization – WAPO (OPAO):

    1. Demands the immediate release of Comrades Domingos Simões Pereira, PAIGC President, and Fernando Dias da Costa.

    2. Demands the announcement of the results and the recognition of President-Elect Fernando Dias da Costa.

    3. Congratulates the swift reaction of the patriotic organisations of Guinea-Conakry and Guinea-Bissau itself.

    4. Calls on all WAPO sections to protest vigorously, in various ways, for the immediate release of the detained Comrades and for the proclamation of the results from the polls.

    Cotonou, 27 November 2025

    Prof. Philippe Toyo NOUDJENOUME President of the WAPO Coordination Council.
