THE GREAT PARADOX OF CLIMATE ACTION

_Gaia Martino_ / Minds of the Movement (Washington DC)
Three characteristics of Extinction Rebellion can help environmental
movements meet the need for local, short-term campaigns. These aspects
are: operating via self-organization and dispersion for improved
relevance and effectiveness; embracing creative nonviolent action for
more inclusivity; and prioritizing a care culture for stronger
resilience and coherence.

Bangladeshi military has taken control of the country after its
long-term prime minister resigned and fled to neighbouring India.
Demonstrators poured on to the streets around the nation to celebrate
Sheikh Hasina's departure. Students began protesting last month, when
a controversial job quota system that favoured children of war
veterans, was reinstated by the high court.

REPRESSION IN NIGERIA AS STREET FIGHTS CONTINUE

_Dominic Wabwireh_ / Africanews (Lyon)
The demonstrations are a reflection of the frustration caused by the
severe cost-of-living crisis and allegations of mismanagement and
corruption in Africa's most populous nation, a top oil producer where
the large incomes of government officials sharply contrast with the
high levels of poverty and hunger.

Foro de São Paulo
[For English, click on EN on the upper right of the page]
We must unite in our diversity. Only the unity of left-wing,
revolutionary and democratic political forces, with social and popular
movements and progressive intellectuals, will allow us to articulate
initiatives to build a just and equitable international order.

BALOCH WOMEN PURSUE RIGHTS IN PAKISTAN

_Veengas_ / The Wire (New Delhi)
Since stopping activists from holding a ‘National Gathering’ on
July 28 against human rights abuses and enforced disappearances in
Balochistan, Pakistani authorities have imposed severe restrictions in
the region. Despite the Baloch Yakjehti Committee offering to hold
talks with the government, there has been no response from the
authorities. The stalemate continues.

Win for #MeToo in China

_Amy Hawkins_ / The Guardian
On 21 July, a woman accused her PhD supervisor at Renmin University,
of physically and verbally abusing her for more than two years. The
professor, a former Chinese Communist party representative at the
university, threatened to block her graduation prospects, she
said. The university said that the allegations were proven to be
true. He was fired from the university and expelled from the CCP.

GREEK UNIONS: NO WORK IN RECORD HEAT
_Moira Lavelle_ / Jacobin (Brooklyn)
Greece’s latest heat wave in July highlighted the danger of
100°F-plus temperatures for workers toiling in the sun. Trade unions
are proposing a sensible solution: mandatory, paid stoppages on
outdoor work when temperatures reach dangerous levels.

_Mai Truong_ / The Diplomat (Arlington VA)
On July 25 and 26, Vietnam held a national funeral for the general
secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), Nguyễn Phú
Trọng, who had died on July 19 at the age of 80. Thousands of people
traveled to Hanoi, even from remote provinces, to mourn his passing.
Social media was flooded with images of ordinary people weeping and
showing profound sorrow in the streets.
