GUATEMALA AND EL SALVADOR: CONTRADICTIONS OF INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
[[link removed]]
_Manuel Perez-Rocha_ / Foreign Policy in Focus (Washington)
Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador stood on the right
side of history when he called upon Guatemalan authorities
to respect president-elect Bernardo Arévalo’s electoral victory.
But when it comes to El Salvador, AMLO has failed to address the human
rights crisis under President Nayib Bukele’s regime of exception.
This is a grave omission.

_Uri Weltmann and Federico Fuentes_ / Links (Sydney)
Jewish-Arab Solidarity Rallies held in cities throughout Israel have
been attended by hundreds of people. Those who have gathered at these
rallies have heard speeches by Jewish and Arab leaders of Standing
Together in support of Israeli-Palestinian peace, ending the
occupation, and stopping the racist witch-hunt against Palestinian
citizens of Israel who speak out against the injustices of war.

DOMINICAN WOMEN TAKE ON ABORTION BAN

_María Teresa Hernández_ / Associated Press (New York)
President Luis Abinader committed to the decriminalization of abortion
as a candidate in 2020, but his government hasn’t acted on that
pledge. Maria González and other activists have developed “teenage
clubs,” where adolescents learn about sexual and reproductive
rights, self-esteem, gender violence, finances and other topics.

_Vasylyna and mia_ / Anticapitalist Resistance (London)
We do not see this as a proxy war. It is, first and foremost, a
people’s war for national liberation. At the beginning of the
full-scale invasion, people were self-organising, doing anything they
could to resist the occupation, speaking to soldiers, and older women
making homemade explosives. People from all walks of life joined the
army to fight for the Ukrainians’ right to self-determination.

(Johannesburg)
Some disgruntled mineworkers at the Gold One Modder East mine are
plotting their next move after the company axed hundreds of workers
for staging an illegal strike. Over 400 jobs have been shed in the
aftermath of a labour dispute over organising rights, in what began as
a three-day hostage drama in October last year.

Frontline (Mumbai)
In a collaborative effort to address the pressing challenges faced by
the country today, more than 85 movements and organisations, under the
banner of the Vikalp Sangam General Assembly, have presented the
“People’s Manifesto”, a comprehensive document that delineates a
vision for a society that prioritises well-being, inclusivity, and
environmental sustainability.

ROJAVA’S REVOLUTIONARY PROCESS
[[link removed]]
_Anna Rebrii and Liza Shishko_ / LeftEast
What was originally a Kurdish, revolutionary, Ocalanist democratic
confederalist model of governance—based on communes, cooperative
economy, equal representation of women in decision-making—is now
being exported to other ethnic communities. The process is by no means
straightforward. (Read Part 2 HERE

THE SPECTRE OF GENOCIDE
[[link removed]]
_William I. Robinson_ / Truthout (Sacramento)
There is little doubt that we are seeing pre-genocidal activity in
Israel-Palestine. What are the underlying structural roots in the
Israeli political economy bringing about such genocidal pressures? To
answer this question we must focus on the larger structural changes
associated with capitalist globalization and the integration of Israel
and the Middle East into the new global order.
