I wrote an extended review of a book by Brooks Marmon about a forgotten Zimbabwean nationalist, Edson Sithole, who was abducted by Rhodesia’s secret police together with his assistant, Miriam Mhlanga in 1975. The two were never seen again. percyzvomuya.substack.com/p/when-three...

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
