BOTTLENECKS AT COP29
[[link removed]]
_Dorothy Guerrero_ / transform! Europe (Vienna)
We asked one of the best experts for global climate justice, Dorothy
Guerreo, for an overview on COP29. What is this year’s COP about?
What are the buzzwords we need to look out for? And last not least:
what is the role of the left in Europe in all this?

PKK ATTACKS TURKISH ARMS MANUFACTURER

The PKK said it had targeted Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) on
Wednesday because the arms it produced had killed “thousands” of
Kurds, including women and children. The group said the attack was
“planned a long time ago” - apparently rebuffing claims that the
attack was an attempt to frustrate rumoured reconciliation efforts
between the PKK and Turkish government.

CHINA HOLDS MYANMAR REBEL LEADER

Chinese authorities have reportedly detained the leader of the Myanmar
National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), which has inflicted serious
losses on Myanmar’s military junta. The MNDAA is a key member of
the Three Brotherhood Alliance of resistance groups, which has
captured a large amount of territory in Shan State, since the launch
of its Operation 1027 offensive.

STORMING THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT

_Shilpy Bisht_ / News18 (New Delhi)
Something unprecedented happened in the New Zealand Parliament on
Thursday. Lawmakers from the Māori indigenous community demonstrated
their anger and fear over a bill that will redefine their rights.
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, 22, asked how her party would vote on the
bill, stood up, tore the copy of the bill and started performing the
traditional Haka war dance in Parliament.

MORE VICTORIES IN SRI LANKA ELECTIONS

_Devaka Gunawardena_ / Daily FT (Colombo)
The National People’s Power (NPP) coalition had won a decisive
mandate in the Parliamentary election. It was an earth-shaking
rejection of the establishment across the island. The question remains
whether the NPP will realise it must work with other groups,
parliamentary and extra-parliamentary, on the national question and
the economic crisis.

SPONTANEOUS SOLIDARITY IN SPAIN
[[link removed]]
_Guido Viale_ / il manifesto Global (Rome)
Everyone now grasps the notion that the solidarity, relationships,
spirit of initiative and autonomy that develop in a mobilization such
as the one that started in Valencia, if they succeed in consolidating
themselves, can be the embryo for an alternative – social and
cultural first of all, political second – that would be able to
reckon with the true scale of the environmental and climate crisis.

NATIONAL STRIKE IN PERU

_Ben Radford_ / Green Left (Sydney)
An estimated 1 million workers took strike action in Peru on November
13-15 to demand that the government act against rising violence and
extortion at the hands of organised criminal groups. Workers from the
transport, mining and construction sectors, indigenous groups,
students, human rights organisations and small business owners joined
marches across the country.

TWO LEFT PARTIES IN BIG TROUBLE

THE PALESTINE MOVEMENT IN UK
[[link removed]]
_John Rees_ / Middle East Eye (London)
This historic movement is facing two new challenges: one analytical,
the other tactical. The analytical challenge arises from the
transformed nature of the war in the Middle East, where the focus is
shifting to Iran. While direct action and mass mobilisations have
broken big, the movement now needs to defend the right to protest, and
to root it more securely in trade union mobilisation.
