After days of voting and counting, Malawi’s president Lazarus Chakwera has conceded defeat, bringing his single five-year term to an end. Chakwera, who came to power in 2020 on promises to tackle corruption and rebuild the economy, lost to his predecessor Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
In a nationally televised address, Chakwera acknowledged the people’s verdict, saying:
“To the majority of you who voted, this outcome is a reflection of your collective will to have a change of government. And so, it is only right that I concede defeat out of respect for your will as citizens and out of respect for the constitution. But regardless of whether or not you voted and regardless of how you voted, if you are a Malawian citizen anywhere in the world, I want to thank you for conducting yourself throughout this election in a peaceful, orderly, and lawful manner.”
The outgoing president also committed himself to a smooth handover, although he had cited irregularities.

According to authorities, the triple murder is linked to a transnational drug trafficking group. Thousands of people marched in Argentina, condemning the crime.
Feminist journalist with El Grito del Sur, Belén del Huerto told Peoples Dispatch that, “The economic decline of Argentine families [as a result of Milei’s neoliberal policies] means that several members have two or three jobs. It is in this context that we must understand the case of the two 20-year-old women and the minor who, according to the accounts of their family and friends, were working as prostitutes.”
She points to the responsibility of the neoliberal state in the advance of these criminal groups, as it is more a case of a state that seeks to reduce itself to its minimum expression: “The state’s absence from issues such as human trafficking, assistance to victims of gender violence, and the defunding of cooperative economy projects in working-class neighborhoods is causing the advance of drug trafficking.”

At the UN General Assembly, European leaders focused on Russia and arms race while offering no meaningful action on Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
European Council President António Costa, for example, claimed the EU is “a project of peace, of reconciliation, of social justice.” Similar rhetoric was echoed by French and other officials, who spoke of Europe’s “concrete” contributions to building a just and stable world. To at least some in the room, their remarks must have sounded paradoxical, given that most of these leaders champion extensive armament at home.

China declared it will voluntarily reduce its economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from its peak level by 2035, in its attempts to fulfill the requirements of the Paris Agreement. It asked other countries to also “step up actions to realize the beautiful vision of harmony between man and nature and preserve planet earth.”
The announcement was made by Chinese President Xi Jinping during his virtual address to the United Nations Climate Summit, which was held alongside the ongoing UNGA summit in New York on Wednesday, September 24.
The summit was hosted by UN Secretary General António Guterres along with Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Brazil is the host of the next COP30 conference in November.
This is the first commitment of its kind made by China, which is now the world’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases at the global forum – mainly due to its massive population of 1.4 billion and decades of rapid industrialization. The commitment renews hope in the success of the world’s attempts to fight climate change.

While the Palestinian Authority welcomed the recognition, the Palestinian grassroots faulted the move as conditional, symbolic, unjust, and took dozens of thousands of lives to be announced.
A handful of Western countries announced their recognition of a Palestinian State on Sunday, September 21, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and Portugal.
France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Malta, and Andorra also joined the move on Monday, September 22, followed by the Republic of San Marino, which announced its recognition on Tuesday September 23.
The new wave of recognition raises the number of sovereign states that have recognized Palestinian statehood to 159 out of 193 member states at the United Nations, representing over 80% of the international community.

The move has been considered as a de facto annexation because it removed the communities from the Palestinian administrative registry, placing them under direct Israeli control instead.

Across East Africa, solidarity with the people of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES) is gaining momentum, as activists, intellectuals, and workers draw inspiration from the revolutionary path being charted by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
On September 19, 2025, a forum was convened in Nairobi by the Ngong Social Justice Center Revolutionary Socialist League (RSL) and Ukombozi Library to commemorate the second anniversary of the AES. The event’s theme was “Two Years on: Looking At the Alliance of the Sahel”.
The gathering started with the screening of a documentary on Modibo Keïta, Mali’s first president and a leading Pan-Africanist, produced by African Stream. The discussions that followed highlighted the deep historical links between Keita’s socialist vision and the present-day anti-imperialist wave sweeping across the Sahel.

Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez Parrilla, spoke of the death of Assata Shakur simply, “We fulfilled our duty.” This humble statement encapsulated four decades of unwavering commitment by the Cuban state to protect one of the United States’ most hunted revolutionaries and let her live her life as a free woman.
Assata Shakur’s flight and exile were not just a physical escape from an unjust and violent system; they were a political and ideological act. Her unwavering belief in a socialist future, a world free from the exploitative forces of capitalism, imperialism, and racism, was what made her a profound threat to the US establishment.
A living testament to the possibility of resistance, Assata embodied the courage not only to think about change but to fight for a new world entirely.
