How bad is the humanitarian situation?
The death toll from Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has reached 27,019, with more than 66,139 people injured.
Israeli occupation forces killed a medical staff member of al-Amal hospital near the hospital gates. Meanwhile, an older woman and an infant died due to a shortage of the oxygen they were depending on.
Israeli Occupation Crimes in Gaza
Following the Israeli military’s partial withdrawal, over 30 bodies buried in black bags under the sand were discovered in a UNRWA school in Beit Lahiya, north of the Gaza strip. The bodies were executed at point-blank range while handcuffed and blindfolded.
The burning of Palestinian homes in the Gaza Strip by Israeli occupation forces is the implementation of orders from their officers leading the fighting, as reported by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.
What is the economic impact of the war on Gaza?
Gaza's economy shrank by 24% in 2023, nearing its 1994 level, while 79% of Gaza's labor force is unemployed.
Restoring pre-conflict socioeconomic conditions in Gaza will take decades and requires substantial foreign aid, according to a new assessment by the UN.
What is the situation in the West Bank?
Israeli occupation forces have conducted several raids across the occupied West Bank, while violent clashes between Palestinian resistance groups and Israeli forces erupted in Tubas city of the West Bank.
Israeli occupation forces have detained at least 44 Palestinians during overnight raids across the occupied West Bank. Since October 7, Israeli forces have detained at least 6,460 Palestinians in the West Bank.
What are the updates from UNRWA?
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, called for the closure of the UN Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA, "It's time for the international community and the UN itself to understand that UNRWA’s mission must be terminated," Netanyahu told visiting UN delegates.
UNRWA staff were forced to flee Khan Younis due to Israeli bombardment. "We've lost a health clinic, major shelters – facilities that were supporting the people of Khan Younis," says Thomas White, UNRWA’s director in Gaza.
Legal cases against the Genocide
A U.S. federal court dismissed a lawsuit against US President Joe Biden while admitting, "Israel’s military siege in Gaza is intended to eradicate a whole people and therefore plausibly falls within the international prohibition against genocide."
Israelis filed a lawsuit in a US federal court in Washington, demanding that Iran pay compensation for the murders and the physical and mental injuries - "for its responsibility" in the October 7 attack.
About 70 US cities, including Chicago and Seattle, have passed resolutions in relation to Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, with most calling for an immediate ceasefire.
What is happening in the region?
The European Union plans to launch a naval mission in the Red Sea within three weeks to help defend cargo ships against attacks by the Ansarallah group in Yemen, said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
Yemen’s Ansarallah group carried out a missile attack, targeting a US vessel ship that was heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, while US and UK forces launched at least 7 strikes on Hodeidah city of Yemen.
What is the situation at the Lebanese border?
Lebanese Hezbollah launched two anti-tank missiles at Israeli settlements and outposts, north of Occupied Palestine. More than 500 houses and buildings were damaged by Hezbollah attacks since October 10.
Israel’s Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, has warned local authorities in northern Israel that power may be lost in the event of a wider conflict with Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon, as reported by the Institute for the Study of War.

Three years ago, Myanmar’s military, the Tatmadaw, overthrew the civilian government. Since then, numerous resistance groups and ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) have risen, recently launching major offensives against the military regime. But who are these groups, and what drives their fight?
In October, an alliance of three major ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) called the Three Brotherhood Alliance (3BHA) launched the ongoing Operation 1027, intending to end oppressive rule by the military government. The alliance was founded in 2019, before the military coup of 2021.
Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA): The MNDAA, part of the 3BHA, is the armed wing of the Myanmar National Truth and Justice Party (MNTJP) representing the ethnic Han Chinese Kokang people, which it says it is fighting for autonomy.
The group has existed since 1989 after breaking away from the Communist Party of Burma (CPB) and is based in the Kokang region of northern Shan State on the border with China, with which it maintains close ties. Following a 20-year ceasefire with the Myanmar government, fighting broke out again in 2009. Earlier this month, the MNDAA was said to have taken back control of the entire Kokang region.
Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA): The TNLA was founded in 1992. The TNLA is the armed wing of the Palaung Self Liberation Front (PSLF), a political organization founded by fighters from the ethnic Ta’ang minority in northern Shan State. In December, the TNLA took control of the Pa Laung Self-Administered Zone, set up by the previous civilian government in 2011. The group says it is fighting for the self-determination of the Ta’ang people and “real federalism” in Myanmar.
Arakan Army (AA): Founded in Rakhine State in 2009, the AA, the armed wing of the United League of Arakan (ULA), is the largest group of the 3BHA with an estimated 30,000 troops. They say they are fighting to restore the sovereignty of the Arakanese people of Rakhine while being active in various regions across the country. The AA has also recruited troops from the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic minority from Rakhine, who are the target of an ongoing genocide at the hands of the Myanmar military.
People’s Liberation Army (PLA): The PLA, the armed wing of the CPB, is one of several minor groups active in Operation 1027. After collapsing in 1989 along ethnic lines following a split that gave birth to various EAOs, the self-described communist force has been resurrected following the coup in 2021. They continue to fight in several states across the country alongside other groups.
Just weeks after the launch of Operation 1027, various EAOs of the Karenni people launched their own major offensive, codenamed Operation 1111, intending to capture Karenni State, the homeland of the Karenni people.
Karenni EAOs: The major Karenni EAO active in Operation 1111 is the Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) which was founded following the coup in 2021, meant to be a fusion of all Karenni State’s dispersed youth forces. In addition to the KNDF, there are older groups that predate the coup such as the Karenni Army (KA) and the Karenni National People’s Liberation Front (KNPLF). The ideological outlook of the Karenni EAOs varies from right-wing nationalism to some being more left-leaning.
People’s Defence Force (PDF): Besides the EAOs, there is the PDF, the most significant resistance force operating in Myanmar. They are the armed wing of the National Unity Government (NUG), the parallel government representing the deposed civilian government. Set up right after the coup, the PDF is made up of several smaller groups that operate across the country with the ultimate aim of “restoring democracy and building a federal democratic union.” In some cases, the PDF has allied with various EAOs.

The Port Said stadium massacre, the “darkest day in Egypt’s football history,” which sparked massive anti-government protests, erupted today 12 years ago. Here is what happened.
The rival teams Al Masry and Al Ahly faced off in Port Said in 2012 when thousands of armed Al Masry fans attacked Al Ahly’s tribune, killing at least 74 people. Many of the deaths were due to police refusal to open the stadium gates.
In the following days, large-scale civil unrest broke out, including a general strike demanding the resignation of the ruling military council.
Many believed that the police orchestrated this massacre to retaliate for the humiliation suffered at the hands of the ultras, which spearheaded and fought off the police during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution.
Almost exactly one year earlier, regime supporters tried to crush the protest in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian Revolution protests. Football ultras were at the frontline, protecting protesters in Tahrir Square during the unrest.
The Al Ahly Ultras Association was known for its passionate revolutionary chants, which were sung in Tahrir Square during the revolution and its aftermath.
Seventy-three defendants, including nine police officers and two officials from Port Said’s Al-Masry club, were charged in the aftermath of the massacre and given ten death sentences.
In 2015, a Cairo court designated all ultra-groups in Egypt as terrorist organizations, and they were outlawed. Dozens of ultras from different clubs have since been detained, with ex-Ahly and national team star Mohamed Aboutrika added to Egypt’s state terrorism list.

French farmers continue their "siege" of Paris, blocking major highways and dumping waste at government offices as the protest edged closer to the capital. They argue that government measures to quell the protests did not go far enough to meet their demands for better pay and living conditions.
The farmers say that these protests result from long-standing issues they face, including concerns over insufficient remuneration, lack of government aid, free trade agreements, pesticide use, and what they deem unfair competition with farmers from countries with less strict food quality norms. Among several other farmers' unions, the National Federation of Farmers' Unions (FNSEA) and Young Farmers (JA) are taking a leading role in these protests.
Recent data from The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) revealed that in 2021, 18% of French farming families lived below the poverty line. Additionally, data from La Mutualité Sociale Agricole (MSA) in 2015 indicated that nearly one-third of farmers earn less than €354 a month.

🟡 Latest War on Gaza news roundup:
🟡 The death toll from Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has reached 26,637, with more than 65,387 people injured.
🟡 95% of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis have fled to Rafah south of the Gaza strip, as Israeli occupation forces push on with their assault on Khan. This is forcing more Palestinians into dangerously overcrowded Rafah city in southern Gaza.
🟡 People displaced who have reached Rafah, south of Gaza, are resorting to living in the street, with sewage running in the streets and “conditions of desperation conducive to a complete breakdown in order”. Over 1.3 million people are already crowded in Rafah, where heavy rainfall has flooded many tents of displaced people. According to the UN.
🟡 In the 48 hours after interim rulings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Israel continued to kill as many Palestinians in the Gaza strip as it did before the verdicts. Israeli forces killed at least 373 Palestinians and wounded 643 others. Reported by the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor.
🟡 More than 16,000 children are at risk of missing routine vaccinations, which exposes them to illnesses such as measles, pneumonia, and polio.

Kenya’s women make history: The country’s largest-ever protest against femicide and violence against women erupted in Nairobi, the capital. Thousands flooded the streets in response to a surge in femicides, which have claimed the lives of at least a dozen women this month alone.
Between 2016 and 2023, Kenya recorded at least 500 reported femicide cases, with the actual number of unreported instances believed to be significantly higher. One in three women in Kenya has experienced sexual violence before turning 18, according to the Gender Violence Recovery Center.
“A country is judged not by how well it treats its rich people, but by how well it takes care of the weak and vulnerable,” said Law Society of Kenya President Eric Theuri, who joined the protest. On Kenya’s social media, videos are going viral of men reacting to the protests, some with death threats.
A key demand of the protests was prosecuting perpetrators, most of whom remain unpunished. “Perpetrators are going free, so we see even our government is neglecting us,” noted one protest organizer.

Why does Zambia continue to grapple with frequent and fatal mining accidents? Let's delve into the underlying causes and find out what globalism has to do with it.
The south-central African country has been a mining powerhouse for well over 100 years and is one of the top copper producers in Africa and the world. However, a significant number of its mines are run by foreign companies.
Even though an increasing number of mines are Chinese-owned, the major players remain some of the world’s top mining companies such as First Quantum Minerals, Barrick Gold Corporation, Vedanta Resources, and Glencore.
Regardless of ownership, working conditions are precarious across all mines. Several miners reported that the brutally long shifts and inadequate safety measures led to the frequently occurring accidents with dozens of fatalities annually while causing widespread environmental damage.
Just last month, a South African court dismissed one of Africa’s largest class-action cases against the British multinational mining company Anglo American after one of their mines poisoned over 100,000 in the Zambian town of Kabwe and turned it into one of the most polluted places on earth.
Facing declining copper prices since the mid-1970s, Zambia privatized its state mining company in the late 1990s due to international pressure. To attract investors, the government offered tax incentives and weakened environmental and labor laws, introducing casualization while undermining the unions.
The more than 20 years of privatization of Zambia’s mines saw a collapse in the number of permanent mine employees from 60,000 in 1994 to 28,000 in 2018. Simultaneously, temporary contract workers rose to 46,000 by 2018 while mining companies use labor retrenchment as their go-to response to fluctuations in global prices.
Any attempts at greater government control have been undermined by foreign mining companies through threats of mass lay-offs of workers. In 2018, First Quantum Minerals laid off 2,500 staff after the government decided to raise mining taxes.
In another instance where foreign companies got the upper hand, the Zambian state purchased Mopani Copper Mines from Swiss-based multinational giant Glencore in early 2021, propelling the country into an unsustainable debt while Glencore retains the right to buy the mine’s copper.
With the Zambian government, which heavily relies on the mining industry with mining contributing to over 70% of the country’s export, at the mercy of multinational corporations, most proceeds continue to flow out of the country.

🟡 The Gaza Strip is at the brink of a complete medical disaster, unless actions are taken to prevent a complete shutdown of medical services in Gaza, the ICRC has warned.
🟡 70% of water sanitation and health facilities in the Gaza Strip were destroyed or damaged by the Israeli attacks, almost 90% when excluding Rafah city. New UN satellite imagery analysis has shown.

🟡 Almost a quarter of a million cases of acute respiratory infections, now affecting one in 10 people across the Gaza Strip. Shelters have become death traps as diseases spread rapidly due to the severely overcrowded conditions, according to the UN.
🟡 Israeli forces raided Jenin city in the occupied West Bank, detaining at least 15 Palestinian individuals, while fierce confrontations erupted with resistance fighters. Since October 7, Israeli forces have detained over 6,170 Palestinians in the West Bank.
🟡 Yemen's Ansarallah group announced it targeted a U.S. ship in the Gulf of Aden, achieving direct hits, forcing two other American commercial vessels to retreat. The Ansarallah actions led to a massive increase in shipping prices, with prices of shipping from Asia to Northern Europe surging 461% compared to mid-October, reported Freightos Terminal.
🟡 Tension is increasing between Egypt and Israel following news on Israeli military planning actions at the Egypt-Gaza border. Recently, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has rejected a phone call from Israel's Prime Minister's Office, Benjamin Netanyahu.
🟡 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Qatar for financing Gaza's ruling party during a meeting with Israeli captives' families. In response, the spokesperson of Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, “If these remarks are validated, they are irresponsible and undermine the efforts to save innocent lives, but are not surprising.”
🟡 The Israeli Supreme Court accepted the position of right-wing National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, for not providing information to the Red Cross on people detained from the Gaza Strip.

Far-right Hindus in New York chanted for more mosques to be taken over in India, during their gathering for the inauguration of Ram Temple.
The temple, dubbed the "Hindu Vatican", is being inaugurated in the city of Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, on the site of the 16th century Babri Mosque. That mosque was destroyed in 1992 by a mob of 150,000 Hindu extremists and paramilitary forces led by the BJP. Nationwide Islamophobic riots ensued, killing approximately 2,000 people, mostly Muslims.
The crowd in Times Square chanted "Ayodhya is just a teaser, Mathura and Kashi are pending", referring to mosques in the cities of Varanasi and Mathura, which Hindu extremists are threatening to raze to make way for Hindu temples.
Last year a senior BJP leader claimed the Islamic Mughal Empire, which ruled over much of South Asia from the 16th to the 19th century, destroyed 36,000 Hindu temples to make way for mosques, and threatened that all of them would be reclaimed.
Islamophobic state-sponsored violence, including pogroms, home demolitions, and attacks on Muslim shrines have surged since 2014 when the BJP came to power, and mainstreamed Hindutva ideology, which is based on Hindu supremacy.

WATCH TOMORROW: "The Siege of Jenin: Israel’s War on the West Bank", an on the ground documentary showing the devastating consequences of Israel's attack on Jenin Refugee Camp.
In December last year, Israeli forces invaded the camp in the occupied West Bank, first draining resistance fighters of ammunition, then ensuring they had no backing from the Palestinian Authority forces. With electricity, water, and telecommunications shutdown, Palestinian civilians are bearing the brunt of the siege and scores of residents have been indiscriminately killed by Israel.
This is part of the all out war on Palestine, and the style and size of the destruction in Jenin parallels what Israel is inflicting on Gaza.

Not one EU member is backing South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel. In a shocking move, Berlin officially rejected the court case, drawing sharp criticism from Namibia, the country that suffered the first genocide of the 20th century at the hands of German colonialism.

Massive protests erupt across Germany in the wake of record poll ratings for the far-right AfD party (Alternative for Germany) and the uncovering of the party’s plot to launch mass deportations after seizing power. Politicians of the previous ruling Christian Democratic Party (CDU) also attended the AfD-led meeting. Further protests are planned for the coming days.
The AfD is on the verge of becoming Germany’s main opposition party to the ruling coalition of the Social Democratic, Liberal, and Green parties, which is increasingly plummeting in the polls. The coalition is failing to tackle critical domestic and foreign policy issues such as the war in Ukraine, the Gaza war, and the rising cost-of-living crisis in Germany.
Investigations revealed last week secret meetings of the AfD together with fascist organizations, CDU politicians, and top German businessmen. At the meeting, a “master plan” was discussed, which the AfD calls “remigration” – the expulsion of people with a migration background.
The latest developments have sparked widespread calls for the AfD party to be banned, a vital demand of the current mass protests. Top politicians in the ruling coalition have spoken out in favor of a ban, although the liberal faction, the FDP, is more critical of a ban. Germany’s oldest mainstream news program, Tagesthemen, also published an editorial article titled “Commentary on the AfD ban: the time has come.”
Over 1,300,000 people signed an online petition calling for the outlawing of AfD top politician Björn Höcke, who, according to a court ruling, can be classified as a fascist.

The construction of yet another new US military base on the Japanese island of Okinawa began—an island known for its countless incidents of criminal offenses by US military personnel.
In December, Japanese authorities, without the consent of Okinawa Prefecture, approved the continuation of constructing a US military base close to the city of Nago. Now, construction has begun.
The Ryukyu Islands, of which Okinawa is the largest, have long been regarded as an “outpost” and “fortress” in East Asia by Japan and the US. Despite accounting for only 0.6% of Japan’s territory, the island is home to at least 70% of US military bases in the country.
US military personnel stationed in Japan are granted privileges like extraterritoriality, resulting in them usually going unpunished after committing a crime.
According to statistics from 1972 to 2019, US troops and their families stationed in Japan committed about 6,000 crimes in Okinawa, including robbery, rape and murder. A report by the Japanese Communist Party (JCP) revealed that the yearly number of criminal offenses has continued to increase since 2019.
Not only are US troops wreaking havoc on the island, US military bases in Okinawa have largely constrained local economic development. The prefecture’s per capita income is only about 70% of the Japanese average, the lowest level in the country.
Despite decades of protests by residents, US military facilities in Okinawa have increased over the past 50 years, from 58.8% of Japan’s total in the 1970s to at least 70% today.
The US is likely to further expand its military presence in the area with tensions rising in East Asia.

Did you know that the CIA once organized Patrice Lumumba to be executed by a firing squad? On this day in 1961, Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of Congo, was executed by a firing squad following assassination plots hatched by the US and Belgian governments.
Patrice Lumumba, Congo’s first democratically elected leader, was born in 1925 in the village of Onalua in Belgian-occupied Congo. The revolutionary Pan-African challenged the colonial status quo, making himself the mortal enemy of the global North.
After Congo gained independence from Belgium in 1960, Lumumba became the country’s first prime minister. 60 years of Belgian rule in Congo was filled with terror and genocide, leaving up to 15 million people dead and plundering the country’s wealth.
The US was an early ally of tyranny in Congo. The 1884 Berlin Congress granted Belgian King Leopold II colonial control and private ownership of the entire 2,600,000 square km Congo Basin region. The US had already recognized his claim to the territory months before the conference.
Congo’s immense natural wealth, including uranium, became strategically crucial for US global hegemony and its nuclear weapons program. The US acquired its immense natural wealth and uranium to build the atomic bombs it dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
When Lumumba became Prime Minister in June 1960, he promised to break with imperialism and championed pan-African solidarity. Lumumba’s rise to power threatened US corporate interests and triggered Cold War paranoia.
A cable from CIA director Allen Dulles on August 25, 1960, read, “We are faced with a person who is a Castro or worse.” He subsequently ordered the CIA station chief in Congo: “Lumumba’s removal must be an urgent and prime objective... and a high priority of our covert action.”
The US and Belgium supported rival politicians, leading to Lumumba’s kidnapping and assassination by Colonel Joseph Mobutu’s forces. Mobutu’s rule, backed by the US and Europe, solidified the neo-colonial grip on the country.
During three decades of bloody rule under the US and European-backed Mobutu, the dictator came to control over 20% of the DRC’s assets, and his wealth ballooned to $5 billion, equal to the country’s external debt.
Today, the consequences of Lumumba’s murder are still felt in the DRC. The country has approximately $24 trillion in raw minerals, including almost half the world’s known cobalt reserves, found in batteries of nearly every standard electronic device, from phones to electric cars.
While multinational corporations continue to plunder the wealth of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country is one of the five poorest countries in the world, with some 60 million people living on less than $1.90 a day.

More than 300 farmers tried to storm a supermarket in Avignon, France, setting fire to barricades in front of its doors and occupying its parking lot with tractors in protest “against unfair payment.” The Young Farmers’ Union, which led the protest, emphasized they are working at a loss, under pressure from large-scale retail negotiators to cut prices.
“Through this cry of alarm, we are denouncing the measures announced by our government, which is slow in coming, and promises that have not been kept” - France’s government is failing to deliver on promises to protect farmers from exploitative corporate policies.
“We are fed up. [...] Today we can’t take it anymore, and we have to go out into the street”’ - said another union spokesperson.
The protests continue a broad trend in several EU countries, with farmers rising up against working conditions and regulations linked to EU laws. The protests echo last week’s week-long farmers’ revolt in Berlin, Germany. Similar protests have erupted in the Netherlands, Belgium, and other EU countries in recent months.

Iran's IRGC launched several ballistic missile attacks against alleged Israeli espionage targets and a base hosting U.S. military personnel in Iraq's Kurdistan region. Another IRGC-claimed long-range missile attack also hit targets in northern Syria, allegedly linked to the so-called Islamic State.
The strikes on targets in Syria came in response to a devastating ISIS-claimed bombing in Iran's Kerman earlier this year, in which at least 103 were killed, according to Iranian state media. The alleged Mossad base in the capital of Iraq's Kurdistan region was reportedly linked to several targeted killings of senior IRGC commanders since October 7.
The attack also killed oil tycoon Peshraw Dizayee in Erbil, who reportedly facilitated oil exports to Israel. In total, local authorities report at least four dead and five wounded.
Bases of the U.S.-led coalition in Syria and Iraq have come under fire over 100 times since the Palestinian October 7 offensive with rockets and threatening attacks by various non-state militias in retaliation for Washington's support for Israel's war on Gaza. As a result, the U.S. increased its military presence in Iraq and Syria with 1,500 troops, officially announced in early January.

With the city authorities’ approval, about 500 joined a far-right anti-immigrant torchlight march through central Paris, an annual event organized by the French far-right group Paris-Fierte. As the fascists marched through the heart of Paris near the monument to Saint Genevieve, the patroness of the French capital, about 300 anti-fascists organized a counter-protest under heavy police surveillance. However, no clashes were reported.
The march comes as French President Emmanuel Macron’s teamed up with the far-right to pass a controversial new anti-immigration bill last month. Lawmakers from Macron’s centrist party voted for the bill along with the conservative Les Républicains and fascist leader Marine Le Pen’s National Rally Party.
The recent rise in anti-immigrant and far-right rallies is not unique to France. Just in recent weeks, fascists have rallied across Europe, with hundreds marching through Rome, Italy, while doing the Roman Salute. Meanwhile, the far-right in Germany discussed the deportation of millions of migrants while reaching an all-time high approval rate in nationwide polls.

On this day in 1919, German revolution leaders Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered by a gang of right-wing army officers, led by the Social Democratic Party.
Luxemburg and Liebknecht co-founded the anti-war Spartacus League Spartakusbund], which later became the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Together, they led the Spartacist uprising in Berlin.
The SPD brutally crushed the uprising. It saw soldiers obliterating what was left of the resistance and conducting air raids in working-class neighborhoods.
They were overseen by Germany's first social-democratic chancellor, Friedrich Ebert, who "hated revolution like a mortal sin.

Yemen lays bare the cracks in the empire's facade. The West's reaction to stop a months-long relentless war, apartheid, and an alarming death toll nearing 25,000? Next to nothing. But Yemen disrupting the flow of global capital? Unforgivable.

The US and UK launched 73 bombardments against Yemen, escalating international fronts beyond the war on Gaza, a dangerous step towards full-scale regional war. Here’s what happened.
After more than three months of Israel’s extermination war against Gaza, Western states bombed Gaza’s main ally in Yemen in their first drastic military action since the war began.
When Israel declared war on Gaza in October 2023, Yemen’s Ansarallah, commonly referred to as the “Houthis,” joined the war on the side of the Palestinian people a month later. About 70% to 85% of Yemen’s population lives under Ansarallah’s governance.
They quickly proved to be an effective ally of the Palestinian resistance, most notably for its blockade of the Red Sea and the targeting of Israel-linked ships and those bound for Israeli ports, effectively cutting them off from the world.
Yemen’s Red Sea blockade has turned around more than 2,000 ships. The threat to the flow of world capital clearly bothered the West more than Israel’s months-long war against Gaza.
In its justification, the White House also referred to a new UN Security Council resolution condemning Yemen’s naval blockade. Russia, China, Algeria, and Mozambique abstained.
A military source in Sanaa stated that countries that will open their airspace to the US coalition for attacks against Yemen will become target of Yemen’s response.
Senior Ansarallah official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti said that Yemen’s goal is to “stop the crimes of genocide in Gaza” while the US and UK are “supporting and protecting its perpetrators.”
“Every individual in this world is faced with two choices that have no third: Either to stand with the victims of genocide or to stand with its perpetrators,” he added.

Elections in Taiwan are just around the corner—an election between war and peace? Here’s what you need to know.
Since the East Asian island’s first elections in 1996, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and Kuomintang (KMT), Taiwan’s two major political parties, have pitted themselves against one another.
The KMT, which used to rule mainland China, is remembered mainly for its US-backed military dictatorship of the island from 1949 to 1987.
However, the KMT, now the main opposition party, has since shifted towards favoring close ties and dialogue with Beijing.
The neoliberal DPP, on the other hand, pursues a much more hawkish stance towards Beijing, promoting Taiwan as a country separate from China while aiming to expand Taiwan’s military and its already strong ties with the US.
While Western media and the DPP love to hype up a “threat from the mainland,” only 53% of Taiwanese consider the Chinese government’s attitude towards them to be unfriendly.
For many, China isn’t the biggest concern, unlike the US like to put it. Low confidence levels in the US as a stable partner for Taiwan were recently revealed, with only 34% agreeing that the US was a trustworthy country, a drop of more than 11% since 2021.
The DPP has held a slim majority over the past eight years. However, with much of Taiwan’s population evenly divided between the KMT and the DPP, the island’s future remains uncertain as the US keeps driving a wedge through the Taiwan Strait.

After almost two weeks of our Instagram page being banned due to our coverage of Israel's war on Gaza, we have access to our page again.
At a critically important time, when the threat of a full-out regional war looms over the Middle East, our most crucial platform, which informed tens of millions about the developments, was censored.
We thank everyone who supported us during this time and put pressure on META, serving as a positive example of how protesting big tech censorship can be effective.
Unfortunately, our TikTok account has been deleted after months of being geo-blocked in the EU. Meanwhile, our account on X remains shadowbanned, significantly inhibiting our ability to reach our audience.
We call on everyone to continue to support media that are still under censorship for their reporting on Gaza and express solidarity with them. We are far from being the only ones silenced by big tech, as social media giants have been rolling out unparalleled waves of censorship since October 7.

At least 15 people have been killed in Papua New Guinea after mass riots broke out yesterday over pay cuts in the public sector. The government claimed that the pay cut was a “glitch” and would be reversed in the next month’s paycheck, but it was not enough to calm the fears of those protesting who proceeded to loot stores and burn a vehicle in front of the Prime Minister’s residence.
Police officers led a strike after noticing a pay cut in their latest wage packet. Shortly after, protests broke out across the country that ended in riots and looting, with images showing people taking essential goods such as food and household appliances.
Prime Minister James Marple then deployed the military to restore order until police returned to work. The government is a close ally of Australia and the US, with which it has numerous “security agreements” as the southwestern Pacific country is seen as a buffer between Australia, China, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific.
The country has suffered months of rising inflation and unemployment. UN figures say that 40% of the population lives below the “extreme poverty” line with a minimum wage of around $150 per month.
The dead are split between the capital, Port Moresby, and the city of Lae, although it’s not confirmed yet if those dead are a result of the chaos during the rioting or from the military repression.

🟡 Latest War on Gaza news roundup:
🟡 The death toll from Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has reached 23,469, with more than 59,604 injured.
🟡 While the world is gripped by the live broadcast of the South Africa-led court case against Israel on genocidal charges before the ICJ, with major open-air live broadcast events around the world, Western mainstream media are avoiding the topic. CNN, BBC, Sky News, CBS, NBC, CNBC, and others are not broadcasting the historic event.
🟡 Israeli forces killed two of the Palestine Red Crescent Society’s (PRCS) staff and two of its patients in a strike on a PRCS ambulance in central Gaza.
🟡 Hamas fighters partially or fully destroyed 42 Israeli military vehicles, killed 22 Israeli soldiers, and carried out over 52 operations against the invading forces over the past week, Hamas announced.
🟡 A Palestinian man who was previously shot by Israeli forces died in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah. Since October 7, at least 342 people have been killed in the West Bank due to Israeli forces’ attacks.
🟡 Israeli authorities demolished a Palestinian house in the Sur Baher neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, displacing more families. Since October 7, at least 453 Palestinians, including 227 children, from the West Bank and East Jerusalem have been displaced due to house demolition and settler violence, according to the UN.
🟡 The UN Security Council demanded Yemen’s Ansarallah end its attacks on ships in the Red Sea immediately. It cautioned against escalating tensions while hypocritically endorsing the US-led task force that claims to have been defending vessels.
🟡 Egyptian mediation efforts between Israel and the Hamas resumed in Cairo, Egypt, according to Egyptian sources speaking to The New Arab. Egypt previously paused its involvement in response to Israel’s assassination of Hamas deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri in Beirut, Lebanon.

“These are the words of our founding president, Nelson Mandela. This is the spirit in which South Africa acceded.” – South Africa is taking Israel to the International Court of Justice in a historic move on charges of genocide. The two-day public hearing, which started today, is expected to put significant pressure on Israel, crippling Western governments’ backing of Israel’s war in Gaza.
South Africa’s genocide case against Israel marks only the second time in the history of the Genocide Convention that one state has tried to prosecute the atrocities of another. The trial, live-streamed worldwide, will provide a stage for the investigation of Israel’s genocidal intentions case.
South Africa’s speakers presented an extensive catalog of Israel’s crimes, with harrowing evidence, pictures, videos, and reports documenting the systematic extermination of Gaza. Powerful statements drew parallels between South Africa’s historic struggle against apartheid and that of the Palestinian people.
Israel is likely to argue that its killing of more than 23,000 people in Gaza is in “self-defense.” Experts say a sentence in this case could take three to four years.

🟡 Yemen’s Ansarallah launched its biggest attack since October 7 with a large number of ballistic and naval missiles and drones, targeting a US ship that was providing support to Israel. The group stated the operation came in response to the attack on their naval forces by US forces on December 31.
🟡 All of Gaza’s bakeries have been shut down due to a lack of flour and fuel, including more than 12 of the leading bakeries across the enclave that Israeli forces bombed, further exacerbating the food crisis.
🟡 Due to Israel’s ongoing attacks and its siege of Gaza, the enclave is suffering the world’s worst current hunger crisis, according to the humanitarian organization Islamic Relief.
🟡 Israel’s war on Gaza is affecting more than 625,000 students and 22,564 teachers from Gaza, with closures and Israeli attacks on educational facilities ongoing for over three months, leaving Gazans with no access to education and a safe place.
🟡 Israeli occupation forces arrested at least 26 Palestinians overnight across the occupied West Bank. At least 5,780 Palestinians have been arrested in the West Bank since October 7.
🟡 Lebanon’s Hezbollah launched a series of drone strikes at Israeli targets in northern occupied Palestine in retaliation for the killings of several of its fighters by Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon. The drones hit an Israeli army base, leading to the destruction of a “large number of Israeli vehicles and tanks,” the group stated.

Security forces of the Palestinian Authority (PA) clamped down on protesters against US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit to the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah and his meeting with PA leader Mahmoud Abbas. Security forces have arrested multiple protesters as they attempted to march towards the PA headquarters.
During Blinken’s latest visit to the Middle East, it became clear that the US was attempting to play different sides to secure their interests amid rising regional tensions. While in Tel Aviv, he called the genocide charges against Israel “meritless” and distracting; when meeting with Abbas, he discussed the PA’s role in the future of Gaza after stating that the US opposes the forcible displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.
Blinken has previously stated that the US envisions PA rule over Gaza, despite the PA being hugely unpopular among Palestinians due to their ineffectiveness in representing Palestinians and effectively being an Israeli proxy. Support for Abbas dropped significantly, with demand for his resignation among Palestinians rising to around 90%, and even higher in the West Bank, as revealed by a recent poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR). The same is true for the trust in the PA as a whole, as demand for its dissolution rose to nearly 60%, the highest percentage ever recorded in PSR polls.

Twitter has launched a massive purge against large accounts that have posted in support of Palestine. The purge has taken well-known activists, bloggers, podcasts, journalists such as Alan Mcleod, and even some from critical mainstream outlets like the Intercept’s Ken Klippenstein and Steven Zetti of the Texas Observer.
Despite fashioning himself as a “rebel” and guardian of free speech, Elon Musk has colluded with Western governments to eliminate any opposition to issues of significant concern for the foreign policy establishments. Whether it’s Ukraine or Israel, Musk has used his platform to crush any dissent or questioning of established narratives.
However, it’s not just Twitter. Our pages on Meta are currently censored, and our TikTok account has been geo-blocked, meaning that our European followers cannot see any of our content.
Political censorship has clearly become a feature on these apps, even more so since Israel’s war against Gaza. Mainstream media have not only stayed silent on this censorship but have actively encouraged it and claimed that it’s some crusade against “anti-Semitism.”

“Most of the massacres were carried out by perfidious American aircraft.” – Watch this child inside Gaza commenting on Antony Blinken’s Middle East tour, the US Secretary of State.
Blinken’s fourth diplomatic tour since October 7th with regional allies aims to prevent the Israel war on Gaza from further inflaming regional tensions and sparking a new war with Hezbollah. Meanwhile, the US maintains unwavering support for Israel, including military aid and diplomatic protection against UN ceasefire votes or the South African-led ICJ genocide case.
The US has prioritized Israel’s needs, providing a $14 billion military aid package along with a massive operation to resupply Israel with vital military equipment, including Iron Dome air defense missiles. Israel has received the highest amount of military assistance from the US compared to any other nation since World War II, with aid exceeding $124 billion.

Hundreds of fascists marched in Italy doing the Roman salute used by the fascist leader Benito Mussolini until his death in 1945. The mob gathered on the anniversary of a far-left ambush attack against the youth organization of the far-right Italian Social Movement (MSI) party, the de facto successor party to Mussolini’s regime.
The attack by militant revolutionaries in 1978 left two dead outside the MSI headquarters during the violent power struggle period between communist and fascist groups, dubbed “the years of lead.” Another member of the MSI youth wing died in the ensuing riots on the same day.
The recent ceremony was also attended by local authorities, including Francesco Rocca, president of the Lazio region, and Miguel Gotor, the Councilor for Culture. Leaders of the ruling far-right Brothers of Italy party also expressed their support for the tribute.
Italy’s current Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, also took her first political steps in the MSI youth movement at the age of just 15. Her mother was also active in the MSI and later joined its successor party, National Alliance.

🟡 Latest War on Gaza news roundup:
🟡 Over 10 children a day lose a limb in Gaza due to Israel’s attacks across the Gaza Strip. Amputation operations on children were done without anesthetics due to the major shortage of doctors and nurses and medical supplies like anesthesia and antibiotics, Save the Children International reported.
🟡 Medical staff at Al Aqsa Hospital, the only functioning hospital in central Gaza, has been forced to leave as Israeli occupation forces designated areas surrounding the hospital as “red zones,” meaning that it will be targeted.
🟡 Israel has killed more Palestinians in Gaza since October 7 than it has killed in the last 36 years combined, according to Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.
🟡 The Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Palestinian driver with his wife in addition to a four-year-old girl who was in another car at a checkpoint near Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank. Since October 7, Israel has killed at least 337 people in the West Bank.
🟡 Chinese shipping giant COSCO halted its operations at Israeli ports in occupied Palestine. COSCO’s decision will affect Israeli shipping line ZIM, which will have to operate more ships on the Far East routes, leading to higher shipping costs since IM will be short of ships.
🟡 In response to the US aggression on the Iraqi-Syrian border, 30 rockets targeted the US al-Omar oil field base in northeast Syria. Meanwhile, the Iraqi government has begun the process of withdrawing foreign troops from its soil following last week’s US drone strike on Baghdad, which killed the leader of an Iraqi resistance group.

With the participation of the Yemeni Air Force and the first public sighting of its SU-22 fighter bomber, around a million people attended another massive protest in solidarity with Palestine in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. Under the slogan “the blood of the free on the path to victory,” Yemenis marched through the capital. It was widely assumed that Saudi Arabia had succeeded in disabling the Yemeni Air Force’s capabilities in early March 2015, proving that Ansarallah’s military capabilities are likely much bigger than previously expected.
Similar protests have taken place across Yemen after Ansarallah commander Abdul-Malik al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to go out in massive marches in support of the Palestinian people.
Since October 7 and the beginning of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, Yemen has become an increasingly effective and influential front against Israel, starting with ballistic and cruise missile and drone attacks, to the poignant impact on the Israeli economy and trade by preventing Israeli-linked ships and ships heading for occupied Palestine from passing through the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, and the Red Sea.
With the establishment of a US naval task force in the area and the targeting of naval Ansarallah troops, the risk of a more significant confrontation erupting becomes ever closer.

🟡 In a first, Yemen’s Ansarallah used an unmanned surface vessel in their latest attack on a vessel heading to occupied Palestine. According to Bloomberg, Ansarallah’s attacks have led to a 173% increase in container shipping prices. Meanwhile, five warships from international countries are patrolling the Red Sea.
🟡 Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant introduces a “day after” plan for Gaza, which would allow Israel to continue its military activities in the enclave after the war ends. The plan doesn’t explicitly state the planning of Jewish settlements.

Deadly police violence crushed protests in Nepal organized by job seekers, leaving two protesters dead and several injured. Hundreds took to the streets against what they condemned as stricter job conditions abroad.
Protesters set a Nepalese minister’s car on fire while police forces dispersed the crowd with tear gas.
Last year, Nepal plunged into its first recession in six decades as economic performance was hit by inflation and political instability. It was the first time the government officially acknowledged that the country was in recession.
Unemployment is rising due to the struggling economy and lack of job opportunities, forcing young people to leave the country to work abroad. The protesters were mainly young Nepalese people applying for jobs in South Korea.

Another threat of war on the Red Sea? A historic deal between Ethiopia and the breakaway Republic of Somaliland sparked mass protests in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, as tens of thousands took to the streets against a signed treaty that would give landlocked Ethiopia access to Somaliland’s port, a military base on the Red Sea and the Suez Canal further north.
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia unilaterally in 1991 but is not officially recognized by any other country except Taiwan. The new deal would make Ethiopia the first African country to recognize Somaliland’s independence.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Somalia’s government spoke of a move “contrary to international law” and viewed the deal as selling its land under a foreign flag. They recalled their ambassador from Ethiopia and requested a special session of the UN Security Council. “Somaliland is part of the Republic of Somalia, and Ethiopia has violated international norms,” it said in a statement. Somalia vowed to “defend every square inch” of their country.

France keeps losing influence in its former colonial African states: the French embassy in Niger’s capital has now closed – an extremely rare measure. The shutdown marks just the latest blow in a long series of political defeats for Paris in the region, including the withdrawal of all French troops from the country. But why are they in the Sahel region anyway?
Ever since France’s direct colonial overlordship over large parts of Africa ended in the 1950s and 60s, France has maintained a neo-colonial presence in much of the continent, not to lose access to precious natural resources and its profitable control over its former colonies’ central banks.
In 2011, France sought to reassert its domination of the continent when it led the charge for the war on Libya, a war that caused a wave of instability to flood the Sahel region. In response, France sent thousands of troops to “stabilize” the area, but more than a decade later, the opposite happened. In this video, we break it down.

With unprecedented confrontational moves in recent months, the Korean peninsula is possibly moving closer to war than ever. Are we getting another Korean War?
The DPRK leader Kim Jong Un ordered the country’s military to prepare to “pacify the entire territory of South Korea,” including with nuclear bombs, if necessary, according to state news agency KCNA.
Meanwhile, the President of the Republic of Korea (ROK), Yoon Suk Yeol, pledged to accelerate work to complete a system using “extended deterrence,” referring to the use of US military assets, including nuclear weapons.
The escalations come as, together with the US, Yoon was quick to use the situation in the Middle East to stir up conflict on the Korean peninsula.
Yoon has since scrapped the historic inter-Korean military agreement signed in 2018, re-arming troops at the border and conducting unprecedented joint military drills with the US and Japan.
Simultaneously, the US has deployed more military assets to the Korean peninsula, including nuclear-armed submarines, large aircraft carriers, and long-range bombers.
Together with the US, the ROK has threatened to unleash a “hell of destruction” on the DPRK while also having drawn absurd comparisons to Israel’s war on Gaza.
The last time the ROK and US unleashed a “hell of destruction” during the Korean War, they destroyed nearly all of the DPRK’s cities and towns, including an estimated 85% of its buildings, and killed a total of 1.2 million civilians.

“We are living in great fear” – red. Media was on the ground with Delhi’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims, who fled a genocide in Myanmar. However, they now face a similar situation in India, as authorities under the Hindu-nationalist BJP party mirror oppressive actions by Myanmar’s military.
Genocidal attacks at the hands of the Myanmar military starting in August 2017 caused more than 770,000 Rohingyas to flee. At least 20,000 displaced Rohingyas live in India, facing growing anti-Muslim violence and living in constant fear of detention and even deportation back to Myanmar.
Living conditions in refugee camps are deplorable, lacking drinking water, sanitation facilities, and education. Children, in particular, bear the brunt of these conditions, experiencing malnutrition, chronic diseases, and alarmingly high rates of infant mortality.

On this day in 1804, Haiti declared its independence after a slave uprising turned into a revolution that crushed the French colonizers.⁠
⁠
After kicking out the French the former colony was renamed "Haiti", the Indigenous Arawak name for the island, and would become the first Black republic in the world as well as the first nation in the Western Hemisphere that abolished slavery.⁠
⁠
The independence of Haiti was a major blow to French colonialism and inspired revolutionaries around the world as one of the most successful slave revolutions in history.

The Zapatistas smashed the neo-liberal triumphalism of the 90s and reinvigorated a global left that was still in retreat following the fall of the Soviet Union. Using the name of the legendary Emiliano Zapata, Indigenous communities in Southern Mexico built a rebellion that foisted them into the history books and reminded a generation that another world is possible.
They built a movement that went beyond protest becoming a permanent movement that included everyone through the participatory democracy they practiced in their self-governing communities. As the old Zapatista slogan goes, "Here the people govern, and the government obeys".

red. Rewind 2023: In the summer of this year, the Mediterranean saw one of its worst-ever boat disasters, leaving over 500 migrants dead. On June 14, the fishing trawler Adriana was heading for Italy when it sank in the Ionian Sea off the Greek coast. The approximately 750 migrants onboard, mainly from Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt, were crammed aboard the overcrowded vessel when it sank. Although 82 bodies were recovered, it is believed that hundreds of people drowned in the most horrific circumstances. There were only 104 survivors, and none of them were women and children. The infamous Greek Coast Guard and EU border protection agency Frontex were strongly criticized for their slow responses.
Following the tragedy, left-wing groups in Greece, including trade unions and the Communist Party, supported protests expressing solidarity with the migrants and opposing the controversial pushbacks and border fences used by the Greek government to deter migrants. Unsurprisingly, the protests were met with police violence.

By the time the shooting stopped a few hours later, there were bodies strewn everywhere including those of babies and women.

On this day 12 years ago, the Turkish military killed 34 Kurdish civilians, including 19 children, in the airstrikes known as the Roboski massacre.
On December 28, 2011, two F-16 Fighting Falcons of the Turkish Air Force bombed a caravan of border traders in the northern Kurdish populated city of Şırnak.
The majority of them were under 18, all civilians. Only four people survived the attack, but all sustained serious injuries.
No one has been held accountable for the incident. Massive protests across Turkey followed the attacks, but protesters faced police repression with batons and teargas.
Two relatives of the victims were imprisoned, and a total of 16 people from the village of Roboski were put on trial, accused of “attending a memorial service for their relatives.” However, they were acquitted, as the tribunal declared that no criminal offence had been committed.

Hundreds of Indonesian university students stormed a refugee shelter, forcefully evicting Rohingya refugees and demanding their immediate deportation. Footage showed Rohingya women and children being forced to sit on the ground in tears. At the same time, the mob trampled over their belongings and attempted to attack them. The students forced the 137 Rohingya refugees out of the temporary shelter and onto trucks ready to be deported.
The storming of the refugee shelter in the city of Banda Aceh marks just the latest incident in a string of attacks against the persecuted minority from Myanmar seeking refuge in Indonesia. The UN said that the attack was the result of a coordinated online campaign of misinformation and hate speech, as many residents claim the refugees take scarce resources and come into conflict with locals. More than 1,500 Rohingya refugees have arrived on the shores of Aceh since mid-November in what the UN says is their most significant influx in eight years.
Anti-Rohingya sentiment escalated in 2017 when the Muslim Rohingya population in Myanmar was the target of a genocide by the Myanmar military. The military killed more than 25,000 Rohingyas and forced over 700,000 to flee their homeland, with many seeking refuge in neighboring countries such as Bangladesh and India. With anti-Rohingya violence intensifying in those countries, many attempt deadly sea journeys to Malaysia and Indonesia, where they’re frequently met with the same discrimination.
As a result of ongoing persecution in Myanmar and anti-Rohingya sentiment growing across the region, many remain terrified and traumatized. The dire situation for the stateless Rohingya people leaves one to ask if they are the most persecuted minority in the world, as they are often described.

"It's not just the French who are our problems. It's the whole of NATO." - said one Nigerien in response to the withdrawal of the last French soldiers from the country, bringing France's decade-long military operation in the Sahel to an end. In the wake of this year's coup in Niger, which toppled President Mohamed Bazoum, a close ally of France, coup authorities ordered the withdrawal of 1,500 French troops from the country.
After months of tension, massive protests outside the foreign military bases, and France's pushing their regional partners to launch a military invasion against Niger, Paris withdrew its last troops. Since the coup against Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum, the West has been provoking an inter-African war by pushing ECOWAS and Western-aligned countries to intervene militarily in Niger. The US still operates two military bases with 1100 soldiers in Niger.

Mao Zedong, the co-founder of the Communist Party of China, was born 130 years ago today in Shaoshan. In 1949, after 28 years of revolutionary struggle, Mao founded the People’s Republic of China, bringing the Communist Party of China to power in an extraordinary moment in Chinese, 20th-century, and revolutionary history. Born into a peasant family in the 19th century, he rose to lead China, transforming it from a poverty-stricken feudal nation into a socialist society.
Mao and others were concerned that a revisionist elite led by Deng Xiaoping had emerged within the party, seeking to re-establish capitalism in China. In 1966, he launched the Cultural Revolution to combat this capitalist-bourgeois ideology. Mao also distinctly distanced himself from the revisionist direction the Soviet Union took following the death of Stalin.
Following Mao’s death in 1976, emerging bourgeois elements within the party executed a coup d’état and reinstated capitalism under the direction of Deng Xiaoping and his successors, who govern China today.
During his 27 years in power, Mao improved life expectancy and literacy rates and increased the number of doctors. He also drove imperialism out of China by establishing the People's Republic. Significant technological advances occurred during his leadership, including the launch of a satellite.

Indian soldiers tortured three Kashmiri men to death in the Indian-administrated territory of Kashmir. The three men were identified as Safeer Hussain, Mohammad Showkat, and Shabbir Ahmad, who were taken into custody by the Indian army.
The army had detained at least eight civilians for interrogation following an attack on two army vehicles in Poonch that left four Indian soldiers dead and three injured. The Indian military is widely perceived as an occupying force in Kashmir and Jammu.
The Indian soldiers film themselves torturing and abusing the detainees. The killings and the harrowing video sparked protests in Srinagar.
Earlier this month, India's Supreme Court revoked the autonomous status of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, marking a new escalation in the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party's crackdown on India's only Muslim-majority region.

A continuing series of Turkish air strikes pounded northeast Syria, an area controlled by a Kurdish-led autonomous administration. Unmanned drones bombed infrastructure targets, resulting in at least 13 casualties, according to local reports.
The airstrikes were concentrated on critical sites, including oil refineries, a grain silo, cement plants, and a vital railroad station, significantly impacting the region's supply chain. Qamishli suffered ten additional airstrikes this morning. Protests erupted in the Qamishli and Raqqa regions, demanding an end to the bombardment.
The "Democratic Autonomous Administration" condemned the attacks by NATO's second-largest army, warning that the international response would leave the Turkish state without consequences. The current administration of NE Syria grew out of the Kurdish-led guerrilla forces and organizations that were leading the war against ISIS in the region.

Thousands attempted to storm the city hall of the Serbian capital, Belgrade, last night in protests against alleged "fraud" in the parliamentary and local elections a week ago. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested several people. The unrest marked the seventh consecutive day of protests.
The protests are aimed at the right-wing nationalist party of the current President, Aleksandar Vucic, which claimed victories during the snap elections. An international observer mission reported cases of violence, vote buying, and ballot boxes being stuffed with fake votes after the election.
Several members of parliament from opposition parties have gone on a hunger strike. In addition, inner-EU tension has arisen, with Vucic calling Germany's harsh criticism an "interference in the election process in Serbia."

Ever since Israel began its war on the Gaza Strip, Yemenis have been at the forefront of solidarity with the Palestinians: from organizing protests with hundreds of thousands of people to cutting off Israel’s supply line in the Red Sea.
In response, the US has spearheaded the creation of a naval task force to “protect shipping in the Red Sea,” whose purpose is in fact to protect Israel and not international shipping. Ansarallah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned that any escalation will be met with escalation, also clarifying that engaging in a direct war with the US and Israel, rather than their proxies, is what the group wants the most.

Indian police continue what the Myanmar military started: the persecution of the Muslim Rohingya population. Rohingya refugees in India are left with no safe place as India’s notoriously Islamophobic police is persecuting the refugees in Indian-occupied Kashmir, leaving many fearing arrest after a series of police raids targeted locals sheltering Rohingya refugees in the Bathindi area of Jammu city, Kashmir. Police conducted raids in at least 29 locations, confiscating documents and investigating those who have assisted the refugees according to media reports.
According to official data, there are around 13,700 refugees who have settled in the region, mainly Muslims from Bangladesh and Rohingyas from Myanmar. The authorities have claimed that many of the Rohingyas have entered the region through Bangladesh without documentation. Jammu police arrested 50 people following the raids while 10 Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals were also held.
More than 730,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled from Myanmar after the country's military, now in power, began a genocidal campaign of massacres, rape and arson against them in August 2017. Most Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh leading to the creation of Kutupalong refugee camp the largest refugee camp in the world close to the border with Myanmar.
The raids reflect the Islamophobic policies of the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Since the BJP came to power in 2014 it has been promoting a racist discourse against Muslims depicting them as an undesirable group and a threat. This is within the context of territorial disputes with Muslim majority Pakistan over Kashmir and Jammu which are occupied by India. The 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act embedded this discrimination by fast-tracking citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from neighboring countries before 2015 but excluding Muslims.

red. Rewind 2023: The year started with months of mass protests and nationwide strikes in France against President Emmanuel Macron's decision to increase the retirement age, which was rejected by over 70% of the population. Hundreds of thousands of workers paralyzed public life with over a dozen nationwide strikes in the first five months of the year.
Protesters occupied corporate buildings linked to the capitalist class, such as the headquarters of BlackRock and Louis Vuitton in Paris. The protests were met with massive police violence. After the French Assembly voted against the reform, Macron used a highly controversial constitutional article to force it through, and it became law in September.

Elon Musk and Rishi Sunak were guests of honour at a far-right festival organized by Meloni’s fascist “Brothers of Italy” party. At the event itself, Meloni reiterated her support for Ukraine and Israel, confirming the perverse alliance between Zionism and European fascism. While Mussolini colluded with Hitler to carry out the holocaust, his political heirs are best friends with Netanyahu.

Post-independence Kenya is a land still rooted in disparity. In Nairobi, 65% of the population still lives in informal settlements that sprouted up during the colonial period. These settlements, like Kibera – one of Africa’s biggest slums – were set up to serve the elite in neighboring white areas like Karen.
Residents of Kibera say not much has changed today, except that the white man has been replaced by his black counterparts – a very well-packaged class that learned from the white settlers and is an ally to the colonial front.

Do you know who this iconic quote belongs to? The Brazilian socialist and Workers Party organizer Francisco 'Chico' Mendes was tragically assassinated on this day in 1988 by wealthy landowners wanting to extract resources from the Amazon. As a tireless campaigner for the Amazon rainforest, which is now more threatened than ever, he knew precisely how closely environmental protection and class struggle are linked.
Mendes took militant action to stop the construction of a highly polluting road in the state of Acre and created forest reserves for the sustainable extraction of products for Indigenous communities and farmers. This made him an enemy of local ranchers, loggers, and landowners. On December 22, 1988, Chico Mendes was shot and killed in front of his house.

Thousands protested against new ECOWAS sanctions in Niger that are devastating the country's food supply chain. The regional Western-backed ECOWAS alliance previously threatened to launch a military invasion of Niger, one of the world's poorest countries, following a coup in July.
The humanitarian situation in the country is deteriorating, according to the UN, with UNICEF stating that 2.3 million people are food insecure. The sanctions have restricted Niger's access to banking services and hindered trade with neighboring countries.
Other countries, including the US, have cut off aid after the fall of the previous pro-western government. Foreign aid accounted for almost half of Niger's annual budget. The sanctions have cut off over 70% of Niger's electricity supplies from Nigeria.

While the global elite is debating climate change at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, African countries face the devastating impact of the El Niño weather phenomena. Flash floods in East Africa have displaced more than a million people in Somalia, leaving hundreds dead. Last month, Kenya was hit by deadly flooding, which killed dozens of people, destroying farmland and forcing at least 4,000 families to leave their homes.
Once again, we’re seeing how the Global North fails to take responsibility for climate change as the Global South suffers its consequences. Single-handedly, the Global North is responsible for 92% of excess global carbon emissions, a study done by Lancet Planetary Health revealed.
El Niño is a naturally occurring weather pattern originating in the Pacific Ocean, leading to increasingly warm conditions worldwide, heavy rain in some areas, and droughts in others. According to scientists, the impact of EL Niño is exacerbated by climate change.
