_Brendan Montague_ / The Ecologist (London)

We need to think seriously about the effectiveness of protest, and how
else we can defend our rights.

ARGENTINA: LEFT UNITY ELUSIVE
[[link removed]]

_Martina Rodriguez_ / Labour Hub (London)

In Argentina’s national legislative elections, the two main parties,
right and center-left, were the main contenders. But in the City of
Buenos Aires district, the Trotskyist left won seats after 20 years of
Parliamentary inactivity, and became the third national political
force, and the far right Libertarian Party got its first MPs in
history.

__________
Crackdown on Morocco’s Democratic Way

_Zoe Alexandra_ / Peoples Dispatch (New Delhi)

The left-wing Democratic Way of Morocco has been prevented from
holding a crucial Congress. This is only the latest chapter in a long
campaign of repression and intimidation waged against the movement by
the state.

_EFE_ / Havana Times

Before her election as President, Castro agreed to recognize
Congressman Luis Redondo (Salvador Party of Honduras) as the president
of the National Congress. While Redondo was sworn in as head of
Congress, a simultaneous session of opposition legislators swore in
Jorge Cálix, a renegade from Castro’s LIBRE party, as Congress
president.

INDIGENOUS SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE
[[link removed]]

_Chandni Desai_ / Roar (Amsterdam)

Indigenous struggles highlight the importance of developing meaningful
principled solidarity by building constellations of connections by
either supporting one another’s actions, establishing joint
campaigns and developing relationships, as well as cultural production
that can sustain our spirits.

_Shwe Zin_ / The Irrawaddy (Rangoon)

There are tens of thousands of Myanmar migrants across Thailand who
voluntarily contribute to Myanmar’s democracy movement, known
locally as the Spring Revolution against the junta. Every month they
typically donate 200-1,500 baht from their salaries, which vary from
6,000 to 10,000 baht.

PAIGC WOMEN RECALL THE INDEPENDENCE WAR
[[link removed]]

_Ricci Shryock_ / Africa is a Country (New York)

During Guinea-Bissau’s war of liberation (1963-74), women filled key
positions on the frontline. That is often forgotten in the mythology
of the struggle for independence.
