BRICS+ IN THE CAPITALIST WORLD SYSTEM

From a progressive perspective, the phenomenon of Global South nations
striving for independence from Western-dominated institutions that do
not work to their advantage is to be welcomed. Yet so far there has
also been a notable absence of transformative political approaches —
approaches serving to benefit not only elites, but the majority of the
population of member countries.

PANAMANIANS SAY HANDS OFF

Hundreds of Panamanians marched on Thursday to mark the anniversary of
a deadly uprising against U.S. control of the Panama Canal in 1964,
with some protesters burning an effigy of President-elect Donald Trump
who has threatened to retake the vital global waterway.

THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY AND THE PEOPLE’S FIGHT

_Ramzy Baroud_ / CounterPunch (Petrolia CA)
The PA’s strategy of appeasing Israel through ‘security
coordination’ has done little to hinder Israel’s systematic land
grab and the continued construction of illegal settlements. To the
contrary, such ‘coordination’ has emboldened Israel and its unruly
settlers.

A petition from activists in the Democratic Republic of Congo called
on German ministers to push the Congolese government into protecting
their rainforests and peatlands from oil exploration. It attracted
65,000 signatures and birthed the Congo Basin Alliance, a new group
focused on linking climate activists in Europe and Central Africa.

On 7 December 2024, over 150 people gathered at London South Bank
University with some joining online to discuss building an

GREENLANDERS SPEAK OUT

_Jedidajah Otte and Jem Bartholomew_ / The Guardian (London)
Trump’s comments on acquiring or annexing Greenland come amid a
debate around the territory’s potential independence from Denmark.
Egede, the prime minister, supports independence, and a 2019 poll from
academics at the University of Copenhagen found that 67.7% of
Greenlandic adults wanted independence from Denmark at some point in
the future.

Dawn (Karachi)
Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai on Sunday said that the
Taliban did not see women as “human beings” and had created a
system of “gender apartheid” by cloaking their crimes in cultural
and religious justification.
