PERSPECTIVES FOR THE EURO LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Walter Baier_ / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung (Berlin)
The radical Right can be defeated in grassroots campaigning and
activism, as well as in the fight for peace, where solidarity can be
fostered on the basis of material interests. It is an established
truth that many liberals (also those from Green movements) and the
Left are in conflict — by the same token, it is necessary for them
to form alliances against the radical Right.

AFRICA: COUPS AND DEMOCRATIZATION
[[link removed]]
_Radwa Saad_ / Middle East Eye (London)
A handful of charismatic military figures in the past — such as
Egypt’s Nasser, Ghana’s Rawlings and Burkina Faso’s Sankara —
were able to carry out massive social transformations via
“revolutions from above”. But decades of military rule have
repeatedly shown that militaries rarely, if ever, perform better than
their civilian counterparts in most areas of governance.

KURDISH WOMEN’S MOVEMENT

_Elif Genc and Anna Özbek_ / MERIP (Chicago)
The Turkish state’s repression of the Kurdish movement has
increasingly, over the last decade, occurred beyond Turkey’s
borders. Recent events — like Sweden’s extradition of members of
the PKK to Turkey as part of a bid to secure NATO membership —
illustrate the geopolitical dimensions of this repression.

FLOOD BACKLASH IN LIBYA

Al Jazeera (Doha)
Hundreds of people have protested in the eastern Libyan city of Derna,
venting anger against authorities and demanding accountability one
week after a flood killed thousands of residents and destroyed
entire neighbourhoods. Protesters on Monday took aim at officials,
including the head of the eastern-based Libyan parliament, Aguila
Saleh.

COST OF LIVING PROTESTS IN GHANA

_Kent Mensah_ / Al Jazeera
At least 49 persons were arrested in Ghana’s capital, Accra, as the
police tried to prevent protesters trying to storm the seat of
government — Jubilee House — over a lingering economic
crisis. The police, according to eyewitnesses, physically assaulted
the protesters who had gathered in their red and black attires to show
anger over hardship in the West African country.

ANTIWAR ACTIVISTS IN AZERBAIJAN
[[link removed]]
_Bahruz Samadov_ / Eurasianet (New York)
A fierce campaign against “traitors” in mainstream media has
created a sense of foreboding among “no-war” activists in
Azerbaijan. The campaign seems to have been triggered by
a statement issued by the Feminist Peace Collective that called on
the Azerbaijani government to end its now-9-month-old blockade of the
Armenian-populated Nagorno-Karabakh region.
__________
DILEMMAS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN COMMUNIST PARTY
[[link removed]]
_Mphutlane wa Bofelo_ / Amandla! (Johannesburg)
If for whatever reason a communist party enters into a coalition
government with centrist and right-wing parties as part of a socialist
alliance, it will have more opportunities to exert a socialist agenda
both within and outside of government than if it enters into alliance
with a centrist organization on its own.

PAKISTAN: WORKERS AND THE LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Ammar Ali Jan_ / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières (Paris)
Some sections of the Pakistani Left are stuck in the logic that if
reality does not correspond to theory, then too bad for reality, we
will stick to theory. This begins a process of purging anything that
disturbs their tiny theoretical universe, including their comrades
when they reach a number over 100 members. The recent splits in some
Left organizations is testimony of this politics of purity.
