REVOLUTIONARIES RESPOND TO SUDAN CRISIS

_Mat Nashed_ / Al Jazeera (Doha)
When conflict erupted in Sudan on April 15, activists from hundreds of
neighbourhoods mobilised to establish committees of medics, nurses and
engineers across the country. The efforts came from Sudan’s
“resistance committees”, neighbourhood groups that have
spearheaded Sudan’s pro-democracy movement since 2019.

_Tanupriya Singh_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)
On April 5, 100,000 workers, farmers, and agricultural workers held a
unity rally in Delhi in rejection of the pro-corporate, anti-poor
policies and sectarian politics of the ruling Bharatiya Janata
Party. While workers and farmers have been organizing around specific
demands, including historic struggles during the COVID-19 pandemic,
their unity in recent years marks a significant development.

EXTINCTION REBELLION GETS POLITICIZED

_Diyora Shadijanova_ / Novara Media (London)
XR seems – perhaps more than previously – to be aligning itself
with the left. These attempts have taken a few forms. One is XR’s
recent anti-government messaging around issues beyond just the
climate emergency – from opposition to the government’s
anti-strike laws to the cost of living crisis. Another is through
building a formal coalition with over 70 social justice groups and
trade unions.

MAY DAY DEMO CANCELED IN HONG KONG

_Lea Mok_ / Hong Kong Free Press
Danny To and Joe Wong filed an application to march on May
1. However, the two organisers said last Saturday that t

had been interrogated by the Hong Kong police about where they got
their funding for the proposed demonstration. The application was
later withdrawn. “This is not a coincidence,” To said.

LEFT DISSENT IN RUSSIA
[[link removed]]
_Volodya Vagner_ / Jacobin (New York)
Vladimir Putin promised to “denazify Ukraine,” but this week he
suppressed Russia’s own watchdog monitoring the far right. Unable to
crush Ukraine, his government has turned its fire on domestic critics
of war and nationalism.

MAJOR PUBLIC SERVICE STRIKE IN CANADA

_Kathryn May_ / Ottawa Citizen
The historic strike by 155,000 federal public servants is being
watched closely by unions across the country looking for breakthroughs
on pay and especially the thorny issue of the right to work
remotely. The public service has transformed since the 1991 strike
from a workforce dominated by clerical and operational workers to
being 48 per cent knowledge workers who could do their jobs
anywhere.
