Indigenous Guatemalans are mobilizing against the centrist President Bernado Arévalo after having helped him to power earlier this year. Protesters’ complaints were over government failures to end land evictions, to tackle rural poverty, and enduring corruption.
Arévalo was helped to power thanks to mass protests by Indigenous communities against right-wing efforts to prevent him assuming office. The Indigenous candidate for the elections, Thelma Cabrera, had been banned from running in last year’s elections, so the Indigenous-majority lent their critical support to the liberal centrist Arévalo in the hopes of obtaining some reform. They are now disillusioned.
A statement from the main Indigenous organization, CODECA, said “We demand that the people of Guatemala benefit from subsidies, and not the transnational companies. We demand that government work with the people, not with the United States”.

Street fights broke out between the two rival factions within the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) party in Bolivia. Supporters of Luis Arce and Evo Morales violently clashed outside the country’s electoral court as party leaders were inside discussing the procedures for next year’s presidential elections.
The two factions within the MAS have been locked in a factional fight over whether Arce or Morales get to be the official candidate of the party in 2025. Morales has accused Arce of betraying the socialist principles of the party, while Arce accuses Morales of working with the right-wing opposition to destabilize the government.

As the Israeli army’s deadly operations in Gaza City are set to continue, they have now ordered everyone in Gaza City, more than 300,000 people, to go south. Contrary to Israeli claims, no “safe routes” to the south remain amid continuing Israeli attacks.
Earlier this month, Andrea De Domenico, the head of the UN humanitarian agency in the occupied Palestinian territory, stated that it is impossible for Palestinians to safely travel between the north and south of the enclave, as it remains completely divided in two. Concurrently, Gaza’s Government Media Office reported that Palestinians attempting to pass through Israeli military checkpoints dividing Gaza have been executed or imprisoned.
With no safe place to go and fierce resistance in Gaza City, many Palestinians in northern Gaza are refusing to comply with the Israeli displacement orders, which Gaza’s Interior Ministry has described as a form of psychological warfare.

Trump can count on US evangelicals to back him in the elections, especially because of his extreme pro-Israel position. But did you know that many evangelicals’ love for zionism is actually driven by their anti-semitic beliefs about the “end times”?

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have gained control of large parts of the eastern state of Sennar and are preparing to attack the Blue Nile state. This comes after they recently captured the city of Dinder. As the RSF continues to advance, people are fleeing in search of safety. Reports of looting and civilian attacks by the RSF continue to emerge.
The Sudan conflict has only gotten worse since it started in April 2023. Over 17,000 people have been killed since then, while 7.7 million people have been internally displaced and 16.4 million children alone are facing starvation.

Swearing an oath to the monarchy? “Nonsense,” says Jeremy Corbyn. The British parliament still maintains many of its feudal-era practices, with lots of garters and frilly collars - an absurd theater for advocates of republican democracy.
The upper house of their Parliament is the “House of Lords”, and unlike a Senate, is appointed by the Prime Minister, party leaders, and the Church. The opening sessions are convened by the monarch of the day.

With all eyes on Gaza, Israel expands its seizure of Palestinian land in the West Bank, announcing the biggest land grab for the settlers in more than 30 years. The endeavor is spearheaded by Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who himself is living in a settlement built on stolen Palestinian Lands.
Smotrich, who became in charge of the planning procedures in the West Bank, took that rule, which the minister of defense handled before June 2023. Israel has built more than 160 settlements with more than 700,000 settlers living in it, in the Bank and East Jerusalem, killing any future for a Palestinian state.
In March 2023, a report by UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk stated that Israel’s continuous expansion of settlements amounts to the transfer by Israel of its own civilian population into the territories that it occupies, which amounts to a war crime under international law.

The US State Department got called out in a press conference over its hypocrisy with regards to how they react when a hospital is bombed in Gaza, versus when one is bombed in Ukraine.
In Gaza, US spokespeople hide behind procedures and call for investigations to avoid blaming Israel. In Ukraine they point the finger straight away.

A barrage of Russian missiles across Ukraine killed at least 41 people, with the country's biggest active children's hospital in Kyiv largely destroyed. The wave of shelling was the deadliest in months.
Ukrainian officials called attacks on the children's hospital a war crime, while Moscow pushed back the blame, saying a malfunctioning Ukrainian air defense system missile had hit the hospital.
Medical personnel reported that up to 70% of the children's hospital was in ruins. Kyiv officials said two people were killed in the direct hit on the building, including a doctor. Hospital staff said 20 children were being treated at the medical facility at the time of the strike.
The attack came a day before a major three-day NATO summit that Zelensky is expected to attend, where the war in Ukraine will be a key focus. In the wake of the hospital bombing, US officials have already announced they will approve further military aid to Ukraine.

On this day, in 1972, Palestinian thinker and writer Ghassan Kanafani and his 17-year-old niece were assassinated in Beirut, Lebanon, in a car bomb planted by Israel’s national intelligence agency, Mossad.
Kanafani once famously said, “Imperialism has laid its body over the world, the head in Eastern Asia, the heart in the Middle East, its arteries reaching Africa and Latin America. Wherever you strike it, you damage it, and you serve the world revolution.”
Throughout his lifetime, Kanafani played a major role in raising consciousness for the global anti-imperialist struggle and was an uncompromising internationalist.
To this day, his contributions and ideas continue to influence revolutionary movements worldwide, from Palestine to Europe and beyond.

Israel has once again stepped up its deadly attacks on Gaza’s displaced Palestinians as ceasefire talks resume. A new report from The Lancet estimates that Israel’s war of extermination against Gaza has likely, directly and indirectly, killed up to 186,000 people. This far exceeds the official death toll of 38,193.
The Israeli military expanded their immediate evacuation orders to several areas of Gaza City. In doing so, they are once again pushing people into a “humanitarian zone” located in the coastal area of al-Mawasi, on the southern end of the Gaza Strip. The so-called “safe zone,” however, has not even been spared from Israeli attacks.
The new displacement orders in Gaza City come as the Israeli army expands its military operations in the city, launching fresh raids into several districts.

BREAKING: A student activist at Berlin’s Free University (FU) threw water in the face of their pro-Israel university president, Günter M. Ziegler, telling him to “wake up from your genocide”.
Since Ziegler called the police on his students in May this year, resulting in the most brutal eviction a pro-Palestine solidarity camp in Germany to date, FU has become the most notorious university in the German capital when it comes to repressing dissent against Germany’s role in Israel’s genocide.
Ziegler himself has also actively pushed a new law which enables to expulsion of pro-Palestine student activists, jeopardizing both students’ housing and residency in Germany.
Police are regularly on the FU campus with free rein to enter even autonomous student spaces, where they search for banners and other pro-Palestine activism related information.
A petition launched by FU activists demanding Ziegler’s resignation has over 2,500 signatures.

Republican youth in Northern Ireland’s city of Derry clashed with police, hurling Molotovs, fireworks, and stones at the security forces. Police accompanied by a phalanx of armored vehicles entered the Republican community of Creggan to conduct multiple raids following the discovery of a “suspicious device,” which the police declared to be an “elaborate hoax” designed to cause unrest.
Residents of the Republican stronghold however dismissed the claim that an “elaborate hoax” was behind the police incursion given the frequency at which police raid the community. They accuse the police of provoking trouble in Creggan as local children were visibly goaded into a response, resulting in the clashes.

Thousands of workers at Samsung Electronics, the world’s largest chip maker and Korea’s biggest company, have launched an indefinite strike. Originally planned as a three-day action, the strike has extended indefinitely after management refused to engage in talks with the workers.
So far, over 6,540 members of the National Samsung Electronics Union (NSEU), the largest union at Samsung Electronics, have participated in the strike. The union represents about 30,000 workers, or 24% of all Samsung employees. The union’s demands include a 5.6% basic pay raise for all members, a guaranteed day off on the union’s founding day, and compensation for economic losses due to the strike.
Despite Samsung’s claims that the strike has not impacted production, the union reports disruptions on chip lines and that some equipment is running slower.

“December 4 was unforgivable for me. They destroyed me this day. They put me in a black bag and danced on our dead bodies”—these were the words of Moazaz Obaiat who was released from an Israeli prison after nine months of detention. Suffering from severe deterioration in his mental and physical health caused by Israeli torture and medical neglect, Obaiat was hospitalized immediately upon his release.
Palestinians in Israeli prisons have been suffering brutal torture and conditions ordered by right-wing Israeli Minister of Interior Itamar Ben-Gvir. With international organizations like the Red Cross banned from visiting prisoners, Palestinian prisoners are being starved and are only allowed to eat a piece of bread and cheese.
The situation of prisoners in Gaza is even more horrific as they are being held in detention centers where they go through non-stop torture including rape. Israeli news outlet Haaretz found in an investigation that more than 27 prisoners have died as a result.

Three years ago today, one of the last Auschwitz survivors, communist Esther Béjarano, died at the age of 96. Thousands of anti-fascists attended her funeral in her hometown of Hamburg, Germany.
After her deportation to the Auschwitz death camp in 1943, Béjarano was forced by the Nazis to play the accordion in the girls’ orchestra. On May 3, 1945, in Lübz, Béjarano was liberated by the Soviet Red Army and US forces.They celebrated together: the soldiers set a portrait of Hitler on fire.
After the war, she moved first to Palestine and then, in 1960, to Hamburg, where she was active for decades against fascism. Béjarano was also known for her solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.
Her later life was marked by her fight against the emergence of new fascist parties and movements in Germany, focusing primarily on young people, to whom she appealed: “You are not to blame for what happened, but you are guilty if you don’t care.”

Palestinians in Gaza passed the deadliest day in weeks as an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Awdah school turned refugee camp claimed at least 83 casualties. Disturbing footage shows how a crowded soccer match on school grounds turned from a brief moment of distraction to a bloodbath in the blink of an eye.
The attacks reflect an intensification of Israel's war of annihilation. Gaza’s ruling resistance organization previously warned Israel’s attacks could lead to the torpedoing of planned ceasefire negotiations, set to begin in the capital of Qatar, Doha. Palestinian resistance organizations called on people in Arab and Muslim countries to escalate their protests.
In the tenth month since the war of annihilation began, the official death toll stands at nearly 40,000, but a new report in the British medical journal Lancet estimates the actual death toll could be 186,000 or more, roughly 8% of Gaza's total population.

Israeli encroachment on Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank continues as the Israeli occupation destroyed a school, several houses, and agricultural land in the occupied West Bank. At the same time, settlers continue to attack Palestinians and Israeli activists documenting the events.
The school demolished was a primary school attended by 70 students and built at the expense of local residents and funded by European institutions. Prior to the destruction by Israeli authorities, the school had come under attack several times by settlers who vandalized its contents in an attempt to pressure the residents to leave the area.
The latest wave of demolitions and attacks took place in Masafer Yatta in the southern occupied West Bank. Breaking the Silence, a group of Israeli activists who oppose the 1967 occupation of Palestine but not Zionism as a whole, said that settler violence happens “under the watchful eye of and with the active backing” of the Israeli State.

Israel’s record of prisoner abuse has been exposed once again with the field execution of four Palestinian prisoners near Gaza’s Karem Abu Salem crossing. At the prisoners’ release, Israeli forces targeted and deliberately killed the four individuals, believed to be local aid workers.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC), drawing on survivor eyewitness accounts, reported that these four individuals were part of a group of 15 Palestinians arrested and detained for four days by Israeli authorities. During this time, they suffered torture, beatings, and degrading conditions.
As the conflict in the Gaza Strip continues into its 10th month, abuses against Palestinian detainees show no signs of abating. According to the PPC, field executions of Palestinians have become commonplace, with detainees frequently killed in Israeli prisons and camps.

A seismic political shift is reshaping West Africa, as the Sahel states Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mali have united under a new confederation. The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) formation marks a decisive break from the Western-backed Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) bloc, solidifying the unity of these rebel states and representing 72 million people.
The AES has also blocked exports of some crucial resources saying “This era is gone forever. Our resources will remain for us and our population’s.” Burkina Faso’s Traore said.
Turning their backs on the West has coincided with moving towards other foreign powers like Russia as well as China, who have been quick to extend their support to the countries rebuking the West and taking advantage of the opportunity to advance their own interests.
But will this change result in meaningful improvement in the lives of the people? Leave a comment.

Israeli forces killed the communist Palestinian revolutionary Ghassan Kanafani today in 1972. Everyone knows his iconic interview, “conversation between the sword and the neck,” but have you seen this rare footage?
Watch him explain why there is no alternative to people’s war for liberation. The original film “Resistance, Why?” was burned by right-wing Lebanese militias after production in 1971 before it could be released and was only restored between 2019 and 2021.
Kanafani, who before his famous interview had already been one of the most prominent Palestinian voices, would be assassinated by the Mossad only one year later with a car bomb.
He served as the spokesperson of the Marxist “Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine” while himself never wielding a gun.
