The #WomanLifeFreedom movement has emerged after Mahsa
(Zhina) Amini’s death as a unifying force, bringing together
Iranians across differences. All are striving to amplify their voices
and demand recognition. This movement has sparked diverse
conversations among Muslim women scholars both within their
communities and in the diaspora.

UNDERGROUND POLITICS IN 1970S SENEGAL

_Florian Bobin and Maky Madiba Sylla_ / Review of African Political
Economy (London)
Eugénie Rokhaya Aw, imprisoned under the regime of Léopold Sédar
Senghor, was an active Senegalese left-wing activist who fought
clandestinely for the country’s democratisation in the 1970s. More
than a year after her passing in July 2022, her testimony sheds light
on the struggles of several generations who fought imperialism beyond
official African independences.

THE NEW REFUSENIKS

_Oren Ziv_ / +972 (Tel Aviv)
A new letter by young conscientious objectors in Israel was presented
under the banner of “Youth Against Dictatorship.” As opposed to
previous “refusenik letters,” the current letter connects
opposition to the government’s judicial overhaul to conscientious
objection due to the occupation.

CAN A FEW SPARKS LIGHT A FIRE?

_Áron Rossman-Kiss_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)
If, a few exceptions aside, the Left has made only little electoral
inroads in Hungary during the past decade, a lively left-wing scene
has nevertheless emerged. Still small, Budapest-centric, and
inevitably beset by fierce disagreement, it has nevertheless
contributed to broadening the terms and possibilities of political
imagination.

THE WORKER PEASANT ALLIANCE IN INDIA TODAY
[[link removed]]
_Raju J Das_ / Links (Sydney)
For peasants to enhance their success in getting their demands met in
India (as elsewhere in the Global South, with its belated capitalist
development), there must be a worker peasant alliance (WPA). The
concept/practice of the WPA raises many interesting questions
concerning existing ideas about anti-capitalist revolution as well as
the revolutionary potential of the peasantry.
