“The IMF and the World Bank are here to take over [our] land.” – A protester was killed in Kenya’s resurgent anti-government uprisings during the country’s worst political crisis since independence from British colonial rule in 1963. Several concessions from President Ruto have failed to appease the tireless protesters, who have vowed to “finish the mission,” in other words, Ruto must go.
The IMF-backed tax reform bill that sparked the protests in the first place was canceled by Ruto, but the IMF said it would press for reform plans anyway, which has left at least 50 killed and hundreds injured. Earlier, the IMF urged the government to ignore the protests and hold on to the unpopular neoliberal reforms.

Gaza is enduring its “deadliest week” since October 7, warns the UN. Eyewitnesses and journalists report horrific scenes, with densely populated refugee camps turning into bloodbaths. Phrases like “blood everywhere,” “torn bodies of children,” and “families torn apart” are words usually associated with news of Israel’s latest wave of attacks.
Since the beginning of the war, 70% of all UNRWA schools-turned-refugee camps have been bombed. Once home to over two million inhabitants, Gaza now lies under 40 million tons of rubble from war. The UN estimates that it would take over 15 years to clear the debris.
In the tenth month of this war of annihilation, the official death toll stands at nearly 40,000. However, a new report in the British medical journal “The Lancet” suggests the actual death toll could be 186,000 or more, roughly 8% of Gaza’s total population.

In less than an hour, Israel has committed three massacres across the Gaza Strip, killing more than 40 Palestinians. The three locations targeted were an UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, tents housing displaced people in the al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza, and the Sheikh Zayed roundabout in northern Gaza.
Today’s attacks follow what was already one of the most deadly weekends in Gaza in recent weeks. Over the weekend, Israel committed devastating massacres in the al-Mawasi “safe zone” of Khan Younis and an UNRWA school in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Those same locations were bombed again today.
In recent weeks, Israel has considerably escalated its relentless genocide against the Palestinian people. Coupled with wide-scale displacement orders and the deliberate shelling of so-called “safe zones,” Palestinians in Gaza are left with no place to go to.

More than 300 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel’s relentless attacks in recent days. The UN has documented at least three Israeli mass casualty attacks over the weekend alone. The official death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza stands at at least 38,664 people, however, the number is likely much higher. The medical journal the Lancet estimates a death toll of more than 186,000.
Nuseriat refugee camp in central Gaza has been one target of a series of massacres. On Sunday, an Israeli strike hit the Abu Oraiban UNRWA school in Nuseirat where displaced Palestinians were sheltering, killing at least 17. Yesterday, another strike in Nuseirat on a residential home killed at least 11.
The targeted Abu Oraiban school was housing thousands of displaced Palestinians, with most of the dead being women and children. The attack on the school marked the fifth attack on a school-turned-shelter in eight days.

Live police bullets, burning barricades, tear gas and clashes have dominated al-Diwaniyah city in south-central Iraq for several days in protests against collapsing infrastructure. At least 24 protesters have been arrested and four injured, eyewitnesses told local media.
Daily power cuts and water supply collapses drove hundreds onto the streets. Water and power outages are particularly devastating amid extreme temperatures and lack of rainfall. Iraq is one of the five most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change impacts, according to the UN.
The profits of the oil-rich country do not end up in the hands of the 43 million-strong population. The Human Rights Commission in Al-Diwaniyah province revealed that the poverty rate has reached at least 47 percent, indicating that Diwaniyah is the second poorest province in Iraq.

Activists from Palestine Action have targeted two separate weapons factories in the UK in an attempt to break the supply chain of Israel’s biggest weapons supplier, Elbit Systems.
Hours before the activists blockaded the only entrance into Elbit System’s UK Headquarters in Bristol, dozens of activists broke into Hydrafeed in Milton Keynes, where they smashed and destroyed machinery. Hydrafeed’s machinery is used to produce arms by Elbit’s Instro Precision factory, which has had over 80 separate licenses to export weapons to Israel since 2016.
Through direct action, the activists have prevented Hydrafeed’s ability to provide Elbit Systems with a “rapid response for breakdowns, repairs, spares and replacement parts,” effectively disrupting the supply of machines used to arm Israel’s war of extermination against Gaza.

Ex-dictator Alberto Fujimori will run for the presidency of Peru, his daughter Keiko Fujimori has confirmed. At 85 years old and with numerous severe health issues, he will run for the 2026 presidential elections, thanks to the current US-backed coup government who released him from prison last year.
Fujimori was convicted of human rights abuses and corruption in 2009. In 2022, a new government emerged after a US-backed coup against ex-president Pedro Castillo; that new regime quickly waved his charges and granted him a pardon.
Fujimori has severe health problems, so it’s unclear if he’d even make it to the 2026 elections. If he does, then his party the Popular Force, would be one of the favorites. In the last election, the Popular Force received the second most votes. What’s more, Pedro Castillo is currently being detained without trial and unable to run.

At least 90 Palestinians were killed and nearly 300 injured in one of the most deadly Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip in weeks. The Israeli strike targeted the designated “safe zone” of Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) reported “horrific scenes” at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis following the attack. “Visiting the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis yesterday, I witnessed some of the most horrific scenes I have seen in my nine months in Gaza,” UNRWA said.
The Israeli army claimed that the attack on the “humanitarian zone” targeted senior Hamas commander Mohamed Deif and his deputy. “The Israeli allegations are nonsense and they aim to justify the horrifying massacre. All the martyrs are civilians and what happened was a grave escalation of the war of genocide, backed by the American support and world silence,” the group stated.

Four and a half years ago, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) imposed provisional measures directing Myanmar’s government to prevent all genocidal acts against its Rohingya minority. To this day, the UN has failed to uphold these same provisional measures. With war ravaging the country since the military coup in 2021, the Rohingya people’s situation has only worsened. What does the future hold for what some describe as the most persecuted minority in the world? Read on.

Happy birthday to José Buenaventura Durruti Dumange, a Spanish revolutionary, and anarcho-syndicalist militant who served in leading positions in the Spanish Revolution of 1936 and is remembered as a hero in the anarchist movement.
A mechanic in a railway yard in León, he joined the socialist UGT union and was involved in a 1917 strike that resulted in the Spanish Army murdering 70 workers. Buenaventura escaped to Paris before returning to Spain in 1920, settling in the Basque Country.
Here, he met local anarchists and helped form the anarchist militia group “The Avengers” in 1921. Buenaventura also spent time in Barcelona to organize anarchist workers during the dictatorship of Miguel Primo De Riveria.
An influential figure in the anarchist group FAI and the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union at the start of the Spanish Civil War, Buenaventura led resistance to the nationalist uprising. He also led 6,000 armed anarchists to Zaragoza but was tragically shot in Madrid in November 1936.

The lesser-known but no less dirty CIA covert war in Colombia, known as “Plan Colombia,” was launched 24 years ago today by former US President Bill Clinton. What followed was over a decade of brutal counterinsurgency warfare aimed at revolutionary forces, most notably the communist FARC guerrillas, in Colombia. The Colombian government was the most significant ally of US imperialism in Latin America at the time.

NATO’s summit will be remembered for Biden’s gaffes, but a long list of policies designed to escalate the inter-imperialist conflict into a new Cold War was set out.
While the summit was being convened, Russia hosted Indian Prime Minister Modi in a show of strength and lashed out over plans to place missiles in Germany. China came out swinging against NATO’s final declaration, and Taiwan detected a record number of Chinese warplanes.
The Summit was not a total show of unity. Hungarian leader Victor Orbán said that he opposes turning NATO into an “anti-China” bloc. The Prime Minister of Spain also called for NATO countries to show the same level of “unity and consistency” to Gaza in the same way they are backing Ukraine.

More than 120,000 Palestinians in Gaza City’s Shejaiya district are now homeless after Israel’s latest invasion destroyed 85% of all homes in the area. The eastern Gaza City neighborhood has effectively been rendered uninhabitable as Israeli forces left behind a devastating trail of destruction following their withdrawal.
As part of the Israeli military’s two-week-long invasion of Shejaiya, the invading forces systematically detonated thousands of buildings in the area. Tens of thousands of Palestinians were forced to flee the area and abandon their homes.
In addition to the destruction, civil defense forces have also recovered more than 60 bodies with dozens more still remaining under the rubble. “We do not have an accurate number,” the civil defense agency’s spokesperson said.
The humanitarian crisis unfolding in Shejaiya is only further exacerbated by Israel’s destruction of a medical clinic that provided health services to more than 60,000 Palestinians in the neighborhood.

Molotov cocktails rained down on government buildings in Albania’s capital, Tirana, in ongoing opposition-led protests sparked by an alleged corruption scandal reaching the highest levels of government. Protesters demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who denies the allegations.
For months, violent protests have regularly erupted in Tirana against alleged corruption scandals and links between high-level Albanian politicians and organized crime. The unrest is also driven by the Albanian right-wing opposition Democratic Party of Albania, one of the two main parties in Albania, alongside the Social Democratic Party of Prime Minister Edi Rama.
The turmoil started and is running in parallel with an Italy-Albania deal to take 36,000 migrants from Italy, which has met with outrage from the Albanian right wing. Italy’s influence in Albanian politics is seen by some as a continuation of its occupation of the country in the 20th century.

red. media is on the ground reporting on Israel’s latest massacre in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Today’s attack on an UNRWA school in Nuseirat marks the third consecutive day that the refugee camp (housing thousands of displaced Palestinians) has come under Israeli attacks. So far, the attack has claimed the lives at least 23 people, with 73 others injured.
The bombing of Al-Razi Middle School, which is located in the heart of the camp, occurred in the middle of rush hour when the area around the school was the busiest. The attack also comes just two days after the bombing of the camp’s Abu Oraiban school.
The past few days have witnessed Israel’s direct and deliberate attacks on six UNRWA schools across Gaza. Since the beginning of the genocide, 70 percent of UNWRA schools in Gaza have been attacked.

Students protests are raging in Bangladesh as the students call for an end to legalized nepotism in the public sector. Government jobs are currently reserved for family members of those who fought in the 1971 war of independence.
Public sector jobs are highly coveted in Bangladesh. Workers in the private sector earn extremely low salaries and work long hours due to severe inequality and lack of labor rights in neoliberal Bangladesh. Garment workers, for example, earn around 75 USD per month working for some of the biggest clothing brands in the world.
Supporters of the current neoliberal government came out to attack protesters with blunt instruments, leaving at least 100 injured. Further protests are expected throughout this week.

NOW: Renewed protests in Kenya are quickly met with a deadly crackdown by police forces, with numerous casualties and live rounds being fired in the first few hours. Tear gas and burning barricades continue the scenes of unrest of previous weeks as protesters mobilize for a “total shutdown” against the state’s shocking use of violence at previous anti-government protests.
What began as a youth-led mass mobilization against crippling tax reforms escalated into full-scale anti-government uprisings in all parts of the country, calling for the ouster of President William Ruto. Confessions of the president with the withdrawal of the tax reform bill, the dissolution of the entire cabinet, and the sacking of the attorney-general failed to calm the protesters.
The Kenya protest movement often links today's struggle as a continuation of the fight against British colonialism. Watch our documentary "Echoes of Empire: British Neocolonialism in Kenya" for an in-depth insight into the issue.

German media continues to whitewash Israel’s genocide in Gaza, this time on live national television. On Tagesschau, the most-watched news program on German television, a reporter in Tel Aviv downplayed Israel’s massacring of displaced Palestinians by saying that Israel is trying its best to provide safe corridors and so-called “protective bunkers” for the displaced. Are they even following what’s going on in Gaza right now, or do they choose to be this ignorant?

Polish border guards opened fire against refugees at the Polish-Belarusian border. Video footage released by the armed guards themselves on TikTok shows the migrants fighting back by throwing stones at the heavily fortified border.
The Polish parliament has passed a law that will allow border guards to use military weapons against migrants. The Polish government claims that the law changes are necessary to secure the country and its eastern borders against the growing number of undocumented migrants.
The forests between Poland and Belarus are described as a “death zone” by refugee rights organizations, characterized by “extreme temperatures, dense forests and swamps.” Polish border guards said they had prevented almost 100,000 attempts to cross the border since 2021.

Since the outbreak of war in Sudan in April 2023, millions of people have been forcibly displaced inside and outside the country. Instead of providing safe passage and refuge, neighboring Egypt, supported by Europe, has engaged in the arrest and deportation of Sudanese refugees. This is how Europe continues to stain itself with blood by financing human rights violations.

Happy birthday to the Red Army sniper with the probably coldest quotes, Lyudmila Pavlichenko! With 309 confirmed kills, she was feared by the fascists and earned the nickname “Lady Death” – the most successful female sniper in history.
When the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Pavlichenko was in her fourth year of studies in Kyiv, which she abandoned to serve voluntarily in the Red Army. During the defense of Odessa in 1941, she eliminated 187 enemy troops in only two and a half months.
The higher the number of Pavlichenko’s confirmed kills rose, the more dangerous her operations became. This included counter-sniping or engaging in duels with enemy snipers. Pavlichenko won every sniper duel she fought without exception, passing away only in 1974 in Moscow, almost 30 years after the victory over Nazi Germany.
“The sooner the monster of fascism can be destroyed, the less blood will be shed—and that means your blood as well as ours.” — Lyudmila Pavlichenko.

Yesterday marked the start of the Srebrenica genocide in 1995 when Serbian forces massacred more than 8,000 Bosniaks to support their territorial claims in the region.
red. media spoke with Sedina Delictanović, who survived the Srebrenica genocide but lost her father, grandfather, and uncles. She explains why Srebrenica is considered a genocide: all Bosniaks were told to flee to Srebrenica for safety. Instead, they were massacred en masse.
She reflects on the current genocide in Palestine and reminds us that from Srebrenica to Gaza, we can only count on each other to stop injustice in the world. Those in power have no interest in doing so.
