Were the Balkan wars of the 90s really resolved? On the border between Serbia and the now independent and majority-Albanian Kosova, the Serbian state is targeting Albanians by deeming their addresses of residence null and void. red. media spoke with both an Albanian and Serbian to understand what is going on.
The process of legally deeming that a citizen no longer resides at their recorded address is called “passivization.” When this happens, a citizen loses their right to vote, receive a passport, and more. The Council for Human Rights in the Preševo Valley reports that Albanians are being disproportionately passivized at their actual place of residence. Sometimes they are not given any notice or right to appeal.
The Serbian state has a long history of discriminating against, oppressing, and ethnically cleansing Albanians from their homes. Its latest behavior in southern Serbia serves as a way to divide and rule the impoverished Serbian, Albanian, and Roma populations living there.

Mexico’s president reminds Trump that the US—not Mexico—consumes drugs and produces weapons used by cartels. This statement follows Trump’s declaration that cartels will be labeled as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations,” a move that could justify possible military intervention.

Do you know who this iconic quote belongs to? The Brazilian socialist and Workers’ Party organizer Francisco “Chico” Mendes was tragically assassinated on this day in 1988 by wealthy landowners wanting to extract resources from the Amazon. As a tireless campaigner for the Amazon rainforest, which is now more threatened than ever, he knew precisely how closely environmental protection and class struggle are linked.

Happy Birthday to the pan-African revolutionary Thomas Sankara! Inspired by the example of the revolutionary armed movements in China and Cuba under Mao Zedong and Fidel Castro, he believed the armed forces could act as a progressive socialist force to help improve people’s lives.
Sankara launched extensive social, ecological, and economic programs and land reform. Setting a personal example, he cut his salary and sold off the government fleet of Mercedes while maintaining an austere lifestyle. He was also known for his solid anti-imperialist foreign policy, which challenged Western imperialism in Africa, mainly from France.
However, Sankara’s presidency came to a tragic end in 1987 when he was murdered during a coup organized by Blaise Compaoré, who had become Sankara’s closest friend after they had met in the military and who had been involved in the 1983 revolution. Read on.

For over two weeks, Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces have been besieging Jenin Refugee Camp in an attempt to crush the resistance groups. red. media met with the fighters who are determined to continue resisting the Israeli occupation.
The clashes started after the PA forces arrested members of the resistance groups and escalated when they subsequently killed two people. Although the PA has a history of cracking down on the resistance, these recent events marked a significant escalation.
While Gaza is being bombed and Israel invades the occupied West Bank, the PA has doubled down on serving the occupation.

Palestinian Authority security forces killed another Palestinian in its ongoing operation targeting the resistance groups in Jenin Refugee Camp in the northern occupied West Bank. The man was shot by a sniper and couldn’t be rescued due to continuous sniper fire afterwards.
The operation started three weeks ago with the blessing of the US, which helped the PA receive Israeli approval to transfer weapons to its forces in Jenin. The PA besieged the camp in an attempt to invade it while its snipers targeted resistance fighters and people in the camp, killing five Palestinians including two children.

🟡 Syria Update — Day 27:
🟡 The Hay’at Tahrir al Sham (HTS)-led Syrian interim government stated it will discuss mechanisms for disarming and dissolving the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with SDF leadership. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock previously said “The Kurdish groups must be disarmed and integrated into the national security structure.”

🟡 An Iranian government spokeswoman stated “We are negotiating to reopen the embassies in Tehran and Damascus, and both sides are ready for that.”

A second officer from the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces was killed in the clashes with Jenin resistance groups in the occupied West Bank. The operation, which started 18 days ago, is intensifying as PA forces have been seen carrying rocket-propelled grenade launchers near the camp.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas ordered the heads of the security forces to launch the operation in Jenin to take control of the refugee camp. The operation was reviewed by the US, which approved a weapons transfer from Israel.
The PA is trying to prove its ability to crush resistance so it can rule the Gaza Strip after the genocide.

US President-elect Donald Trump threatened to invade the Panama Canal to reduce crossing fees for US corporations. Unions in Panama say they’re prepared to defend their country. Trump made the remarks yesterday at a Turning Point USA conference, a right-wing event.
The area containing the Panama Canal was a US colony until 1999 when it was transferred to Panama. The current right-wing government of Panama, typically a US ally, asserts that their sovereignty over the canal is non-negotiable.

Today marks the birthday of possibly the most well-known Soviet leader in history, Joseph Stalin. While Tsarist records list his birth date as December 18, 1878, December 21, 1879, became the date observed in the Soviet Union. To this day, it remains the date on which communists around the world remember his legacy.
Stalin was born into an impoverished working-class family in Gori, Georgia. Engaging in secret workers’ meetings from a young age, he swiftly climbed the ranks of the socialist movement, emerging as a leading revolutionary across Tsarist Russia. Close to Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin, Stalin assumed the monumental task of steering the Soviet Union through the turbulent aftermath of the revolution following Lenin’s death.
Stalin’s leadership, spanning from 1924 until his passing in 1953, remains polarizing—even among communists. Yet, his most celebrated achievement was leading the Soviet Union to victory over fascism, culminating in the defeat of Hitler’s Germany.
