FOOD FOR INTERNATIONALIST THOUGHT

The root causes of the food crisis are the ownership and control of
land, the commodification of food crops and the environmental and
health degradation associated with the dominant global system of food
production. Opposition to this system at present comes from different
sources, including rural and urban workers’ organizations, impacted
communities and indigenous peoples.

CNA (Queenstown, Singapore)

The Marxist-Leninist who led Vietnam for more than a decade overseeing
rapid economic growth and more recently trod a fine line in elevating
ties with both China and the US with his ‘bamboo diplomacy’, has
died. He was 80. He became the Communist Party’s general secretary
in 2011. He also served as Vietnam’s president from 2018 to 2020.

(NOTE: On July 21, Bangladesh’s top court scrapped most of the
quotas on government jobs that had sparked violent clashes across the
country that have killed more than 100 people. But the mass anger is
going to a higher level of action. READ MORE HERE

JUST STOP OIL

Five supporters of the Just Stop Oil climate campaign who conspired
to cause gridlock on London’s orbital motorway have been sentenced
to lengthy jail terms. The sentences are thought to be the longest
sentences ever given in the UK for non-violent protest. All five had
spoken on a Zoom call trying to recruit potential volunteers for the
actions.

KENYA’S THIRD LIBERATION MOVEMENT

_Kari Mugo_ / Africa is a Country (New York)

If the point of protest is to create a counter-crisis, then the
people’s movement in Kenya has succeeded. Emboldened by the 2010
Constitution, which transitioned the country into an open and
democratic society, a people’s grab for power, unprecedented in
scale and force, has captured global attention and put President
William Ruto’s ruling party on the back foot.

EURO VOTERS REJECT ISRAEL SUPPORT

_Ramzy Baroud_ / Common Dreams (Portland ME)

The rising power of the Palestinian political brand has recently
allowed countries like Spain, Ireland, Norway, and Slovenia to defy
the U.S. position which discouraged the recognition of Palestine
outside the realm of the so-called “peace process.”

AUSTRALIA: THOUSANDS DEMAND LAND RIGHTS FOR FIRST NATIONS

_Chloe DS_ / Green Left (Sydney)

The National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee held a
successful march culminating in Melbourne. The theme was “Keep the
fire burning: Blak, Loud and Proud”. The fire represents the
“enduring strength and vitality of Indigenous cultures, passed down
through generations despite the challenges faced”.

_Zane McNeill_ / Waging Nonviolence (Brooklyn)

In preparation for a potential Trump win, we can learn from Hungarian
teachers who have continued to challenge authoritarianism under Prime
Minister Viktor Orbán and the Fidesz government, which have been in
power since 2010. Tanítanékl demands a livable income, the right to
strike and recognition of teachers as autonomous actors in the
education system by the government.
