_Alessandra Bajec_ / Al Jazeera
A strike by Tunisia’s largest trade union ground the country to a
halt despite last-minute attempts by the president to prevent it from
taking place.The Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT) called for the
country’s three million public-sector workers to strike and it said
most took part on Thursday, which led to closed airports, public
transport, ports, and government offices.

UK RAIL WORKERS STRIKE
[[link removed]]
_James Grieg_ / Dazed (London)
Thousands of members of the National Union of Rail, Maritime and
Transport workers (RMT) have stopped work. It’s an expression of
the democratic will of RMT’s members: 89 per cent voted in favour
of the action. This is a resounding mandate, which exceeds even the
deliberately high threshold the Tories brought in with the 2016 Trade
Union Act.

SRI LANKA: NIGHTMARE’S END

_Rohini Hensman_ / New Left Review (London)
On 9 April activists occupied Galle Face Green: a park in Colombo
facing the Presidential Secretariat. This now iconic site has been
renamed ‘GotaGoGama’. The crowds were joined by a delegation from
1,000 different trade unions, who staged a general strike – the
first in four decades – calling for the government of Gotabaya
Rajapaksa to step down.

_Aigerim Shapagat_ / openDemocracy (London)
For three years, large families have been holding regular protest
rallies, which are almost always unsanctioned and generally end with
the involvement of riot police. The protesters have also besieged
government offices and picketed official events. Once, they even
occupied the Kazakhstani capital’s animal shelter.

INDIGENOUS FIGHT MINING INTERESTS

_Ennedith Lopez_ / Foreign Policy in Focus (Washington DC)
North and South, repression and violence is taking place against those
standing up to extractive industries. This is part of the extractive
capitalist model that permits private corporate interests to overpower
human rights, self-determination, and democracy.

INDIA: LEFT PARTIES MEET

_Arun Kumar Mishra_ / People’s Democracy
Against the background of growing resentment among common people,
lawlessness and attacks against dalits, women and the minorities, a
convention of workers of the CPI (Marxist), CPI, CPI (ML-Liberation)
and RJD (National People's Party) heralded a new chapter in the
ongoing battle against the anti-people, pro-corporate and naked
communal politics of the BJP regime.

NEEDED: A STRONG _DIE LINKE_

_Working Group on the Future of_ Die Linke / Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung
(Berlin)
The German socialist party _Die Linke_ inspired socialists and
progressives across Europe as a chance to reunite and rebuild the Left
in the European Union’s most populous and most powerful country.
Today, however, the party finds itself in a deep crisis, with its
electoral fortunes and, increasingly, its future existence as a
nationwide political force on the line.
