Incredible news from Colombia with the election of a socialist president, who has shown the power of community organising to build a popular policy platform to heal the divisions of the past and bring about social justice.
And congratulations to the first Afro-Colombian Vice President Francia Marquez! May they be enabled to achieve what they want to do. Let's hope that America and co won't start their usual meddling.
Heartening to see Venezuala, Cuba, Nicaragua congratulate Petro. Hopefully strong bonds will be made.
Good Morning Monday 13th July 2026
