The anti-US mass riot in Logar province on April 25, where more than 19 fuel transporters and a logistics supply convey for US bases province were set on fire, caused the anger of the US and the local authorities and led them to interdict mass demonstrations. They even threatened with death anyone refusing to obey the order.

The last presidential election in September 2009 was so fraudulent and a mockery that the UN, Obama, EU and opposition to Karzai, all of them blamed each other for that disgrace. By this template of election they proved the real nature of their restored democracy in Afghanistan.

For the benefit of all: The democratic secular solution will unite all the Palestinian people, after decades of fragmentation and exile, through the realization of their right to self-determination by rebuilding their lives as a free people in their homeland, free of all forms of oppression and injustice. At the same time, this is also the best solution for the Jewish inhabitants of Palestine, following the failure of Zionism to guarantee their peace and security, as they were falsely promised by consecutive Israeli governments.

These days peace negotiations with the armed opposition are a burning issue both in Afghanistan as well as in the US and NATO member countries. Though they speak about peace and political initiatives they are pouring in more troops and escalating huge military cleansing operations especially in Marja of Helmand in Kandahar and North of Afghanistan.

The final trail of the Kurdish female politician Leyla Zana was ended on April 8, 2010. The Diyarbakir Court sentenced her to 3 years imprisonment for supporting the Kurdistan Worker Party (PKK).

In past August a voluntary work brigade organized by Sumud and composed by around twenty European girls and boys, went to the Palestinian refugee camp of Ein al-Hilweh, in southern Lebanon. We were guests, invited by the Nashet association, formed by young Palestinians and Lebanese. This camp represents a symbol for the whole Palestinian people, because it was always on the forefront of the liberation struggle, a stronghold of resistance against Israel.

In recent years there were a number of conferences concerning the subject of the right of return, which had a basic role in expressing and consolidating a growing political and public consensus in support of the return of the Palestinian refugees to their lands and homes from which they were forcibly displaced during and after the Nakba. The Haifa conference is a qualitative addition to these efforts, proposing a specific political framework, logical and moral, for the implementation of the right of return.

In October 2001, in name of the anti-terror and anti-Islamic crusade, the United States, after having obtained a shameful authorization from the Security Council of the United Nations, attacked Afghanistan and occupied the country.

On March 23rd, upon learning that we are among the promoters of the call "Stop the aggression against Iran", Salah al-Mukhtar, a known member of the Iraqi Baath (with which we have kept close ties since the Anglo-American aggression of March 2003), has sent us a letter in which he accuses us of having become accomplices of the Americans. Let us read:

The Anti-imperialist Camp calls for the immediate release of Darshan Pal who we got to know as greatly generous person in 2004. While he was involved as one of the main organisers of “Mumbai Resistance” he also helped the international delegations. By profession an anaesthetist he used to joke: “I’m supposed to make people fall asleep but actually I’m doing the opposite.”

The terse, typewritten note slipped under my door in a sealed envelope confirmed my appointment with India's Gravest Internal Security Threat. I'd been waiting for months to hear from them. I had to be at the Ma Danteshwari mandir in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, at any of four given times on two given days. That was to take care of bad weather, punctures, blockades, transport strikes and sheer bad luck. The note said: "Writer should have camera, tika and coconut. Meeter will have cap, Hindi Outlook magazine and bananas. Password: Namashkar Guruji."

All over the world, people are asking questions about the nature of India’s society and government, and about the war on the adivasis—the tribal peoples—that has recently been launched by that government with strategic assistance from the US and Israel.

A first consultative meeting was held, in response to the initiative of the Abnaa elBalad Movement, on 27/2/2010. It was followed by the second meeting on 19/3/2010 where the “Preparatory Committee” was formally established. About 20 activists from different organizations and movements, as well as independents, took part in each of the meetings.

Denuclearize all of Middle-East! Stop the siege on Gaza and the martyrdom of the Palestinian people!

The rule of law does not do away with the unequal distribution of wealth and power but reinforces that inequality with the authority of law. It allocates wealth and poverty in such complicated and indirect ways as to leave the victim bewildered. - Howard Zinn

The International Campaign Against War on the People of India (ICAWPI) is being launched to work as a coordinating centre seeking international support for the resistance of the people of India against the all out military offensive of the Indian state against its own citizens. ICAWPI is an international extension of widespread opposition and initiatives against this genocidal war to forcefully crush the heroic resistance of the tribal peoples in the heartlands of India and to hand over these lands rich in minerals and raw materials to international corporations such as Vedanta, Rio Tinto, Posco and others.

We welcome the announcement by the CPI (Maoist) to observe a ceasefire and enter into talks with the Government of India. Given the government’s expressed willingness to engage in talks, we hope that this offer will be reciprocated. This necessarily requires a halt to all paramilitary armed offensive operations (commonly known as Operation Green Hunt) immediately. It is also imperative that there should be complete cessation of all hostilities by both sides during the currency of the talks.

The only program for the relieving of the suffering of our people and for a solution of the conflict is the restoration of the patriotic and national rights of the Palestinian people, the adoption of the principles of democracy and human rights as the base for a solution and rejection of and resistance to ethnic cleansing, oppression and racism. It means the return of all Palestinian refugees to all the areas from which they were expelled and the constitution of one democratic secular state on all of the Palestinian national soil.

Speech by G.N. Saibaba on the issue of displacement in India and the growing resistance movement of the people with alternative politics to the world capitalist system. The People's War in India has intensified in recent years as the forced displacement and outright attacks on tribal (adivasi) people have become a priority of the state. The successful alliance between the Communist Party of India (Maoist), adivasis and others has led to the CPI (Maoist) being classified by the Indian ruling class as 'India's greatest internal security threat'. Now in a desparate attempt to reverse the situation the authorities are launching Operation Green Hunt - in effect a military invasion and occupation of those areas under the sway of Maoist influence; the forested, eastern and central states now known as the Red Belt. The aim is not only to destroy the Maoists but also to provide an excuse for further displacement of the adivasi peoples, seizing the land and the valuable raw materials which lie under it.
