Choking the War Machine: Vitol supplies oil for genocide
This episode is based on the event Gas at the Frontiers of Energy Imperialism organised by Global South United (Instagram) and WeSmellGas on Sunday 5th April 2026 in Berlin. With contributions from Disrupt Power, Afoa Activist Community, Netzwerk Wedding.
War and militarism often go hand in hand with the exploitation of natural resources for profit. In the case of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, we see how capitalist profit and imperialist interests lead to a militarization of land, sea, and people. A clear example of this has been the use of the island to support the Zionist genocide in Palestine and the increasing authoritarian measures against people who organize for a different system.
[FRENCH] WeSmellGas se joint à l'occupation massive de la Méditerranée par f.Lotta ! Tant que l'infrastructure économique profonde de l'inégalité mondiale restera enracinée dans l'extraction et l'exploitation, les frontières mortelles et toutes les autres zones de sacrifice ne feront que continuer à se développer, et nous continuerons à leur résister farouchement.
