On November 27, rebel factions launched a coordinated offensive on Syrian Army positions in Idlib, dubbed “Operation Aggression Deterrence.” Idlib has long been dominated by Islamist groups like Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by former Al-Qaeda operative Abu Mohammad al-Julani.
Türkiye has reportedly provided support to many of these factions, supplying resources and training. The rebel forces claim their objective is to combat the Hezbollah and Iranian presence in Syria, which they view as a major threat.
Within hours of the offensive, key positions, including the strategic “Base 46,” were overrun. The precision and speed of the attacks, along with the use of advanced weapons such as modern rifles, military-grade gear, and heavier weaponry like cruise missiles, suggest an increase in foreign logistical support.
Syrian President Assad has traveled to Moscow for urgent talks with Putin amid the most significant escalation in the conflict in years.

The president of Mexico sent a fiery letter to Donald Trump hitting back at his anti-Mexican rhetoric and policies.
President Sheinbaum, the newly elected left-nationalist leader, reminded Trump that it’s US consumer habits that drive the drug trade. Furthermore, that cartels in Mexico are armed thanks to the flow of guns into the country from the US.
Despite these facts, Trump has whipped up anti-Mexican racism to explain the drug crisis in his own country.

What do Palestinians in Gaza think about the agreement between Lebanese resistance and Israel? red. media spoke directly with people on the ground.
Many recognize and appreciate the support and sacrifices Lebanon has paid for its support of Gaza, but wonder why Gaza was not part of the agreement.
Hezbollah’s support to Gaza has been significant in reducing pressure on Gaza and dragging the Israeli military’s focus and weight to the north. Now with that pressure being reduced, Israel could intensify its genocidal war on Gaza even more.

Happy 204th birthday to Friedrich Engels, co-founder of scientific socialism and the international workers’ movement! Over 100 years of class struggle are built on Engels’ works and legacy.
Born into a bourgeois family, he committed class treason by working with his closest comrade, Karl Marx, to build the scientific foundation for a revolution that would put the workers at the top of the ruling order. Engels’ legacy is not only composed of his work at his desk but also of being a trained soldier who participated in numerous armed workers’ uprisings and survived several battles.
After the death of Marx in 1883, Engels completed the last two volumes of the flagship work “Das Kapital.” At the funeral, Engels said of Marx, “His name will live on through the centuries, and so will his work!” A few years after Engels’ death, his and Marx’s writings became the blueprint for the communist revolution in Russia that would change the world forever.

After allegedly stashing millions of stolen cash in furniture, South African President Ramaphosa’s political career is on trial. The third largest political party, Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), has brought a case to the Constitutional Court over the government’s handling of a corruption scandal called “Farmgate.”
In 2020, three individuals broke into Ramaphosa’s game farm and found $4 million in foreign cash hidden in furniture. This discovery came to light in 2022 when former spy chief Arthur Fraser accused Ramaphosa of money laundering, corruption, and concealing a large theft of cash. The National Assembly then blocked the establishment of an impeachment committee from being set up to investigate the allegations further.
The EFF are self-described Marxist-Leninists but have faced criticism of opportunism and undemocratic functioning. The leader, Julius Malema, is a staunch supporter of Russia and China.
A femicide occurred nearly every day of 2023 in Germany. There were 938 attempted femicides, with 360 resulting in death. A femicide is the most violent expression of systemic misogyny, killing a woman for being a woman.
The figures are a harsh reality check for Germany, which claims to pursue “feminist foreign policy” as its official agenda. How can you separate the misogyny of the motives for violence against women from structural patriarchy?
With Germany’s unwavering support for Israel’'s war of annihilation against Gaza, in which women are victims at a disproportionately high rate, Germany’s “feminist foreign policy” is unmasking itself as a Trojan horse for imperialist interests.
In 2023, approximately 51,100 women were killed by intimate partners or family members worldwide—a grim rise from the 48,800 victims recorded in 2022. UN officials say that this increase is due to improvements in recording femicides. Nevertheless, the true number of femicides is likely much greater.
At least 170 people were arrested after shutting down the world’s largest coal port in Australia. Kayakers blockaded the shipping lane, forcing a bulk carrier to turn back. This is the second consecutive year the Rising Tide climate activist group organized the “people’s blockade.” 15% of the world’s coal is shipped from Newcastle port.

Feminists across Latin America mobilized yesterday to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, a date that emerged from the women’s liberation movements in this region.
In countries such as Mexico and Colombia, the movement has always stressed the disproportionate effect of the "war on drugs" on working class and Indigenous women who've suffered the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. In Argentina this year, the issue of austerity and hyper-neoliberalism under Milei was at the top of the agenda at yesterday's march.
