_William Shoki_ / Africa is a Country (New York)
This panel considers the past and future of the Tripartite Alliance,
composed of the ANC, COSATU, and the South African Communist Party.
The panelists are Lebogang Mulaisi, Head of Policy at COSATU; Phindile
Kunene, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung South Africa; and Dale T. McKinley,
long-time political activist. Basani Baloyi chaired the panel, which
took place in Johannesburg on March 20.

CLIMATE ACTION: CITIES TAKE ON CORPORATIONS
[[link removed]]
_Steve Rushton_ / Equal Times (Brussels)
Governments, especially those of high-polluting nations, are leading
us deeper into climate disaster. From the smallest communities right
up to the level of cities, a growing surge of municipalities are
reducing emissions and adapting to our over-heating world, often
challenging business interests that few of the highest polluting
nations have been willing to take on.

CONGRESS PARTY UNITE THE OPPOSITION?
[[link removed]]
_Editors_ / Economic and Political Weekly (Mumbai)
Pulling the Congress out of the mud, hinges on its ability to
catalyse the widest possible opposition unity. The disqualification of
its prominent leader Rahul Gandhi has offered an opportunity to this
end and any misreading of its meaning would be at their own, and more
ominously, at the democratic polity’s peril.

THOUSANDS MARCH FOR MIGRANTS’ RIGHTS IN CANADA

_Anupriya Dasgupta_ / Ricochet (Vancouver)
Thousands took to the streets across the country this weekend to
demand permanent status for all migrants, including agricultural
workers, healthcare workers, international students, as well as
massage parlour and sex workers. The march brought together groups
and activists to hold Prime Minister Trudeau accountable for his 2021
promise of regularization for all foreign workers.

THE LATIN AMERICAN LEFT AND ORTEGA
[[link removed]]
_Raúl Zibechi_ / NACLA Report (New York)
The Nicaraguan dictatorship is as isolated on the international level
as it is among the continental Left; the majority of parties and
social movements either condemn it or avoid taking a stand, with only
a handful continuing to support the regime. The perception about what
is happening in Nicaragua has changed in the last few decades.

PUBLIC ANGER AND POLITICS IN KENYA
[[link removed]]
_Tanupriya Singh_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
Defying the recent ban on protests, thousands of people took to the
streets in the second week of unrest against a growing cost of living
crisis. Although he had campaigned on a pro-poor stance, President
Ruto’s policies once in power were aligned in the opposite
direction, beginning with the scrapping of fuel and maize subsidies in
line with the diktats of the IMF and the World Bank.
