German media has become complicit in the state’s authoritarian witch-hunt against critics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Due to our dedicated coverage of Germany’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity, our “colleagues” from major German outlets have also come after us, circulating misinformation about red., including that we have been “staging” pro-Palestine protests and are “close” to Russia.
German newspaper, Tagesspiegel collected these claims, and added absolutely no evidence, to create a hit-piece on red., where they also admit that they refused to publish our answers.
🟡 So we did. Click here to read the full interview that they don’t want you to see.

Fierce fighting continues to plague Sudan as the UN Security Council demands an end to the siege of Sudan’s North Darfur state capital. The siege of El Fasher by the UAE-backed paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has left hundreds of thousands trapped in the last large urban center in the western Darfur region, not under RSF control.
Meanwhile, reports have come out of Sudan, saying that the Sudanese military killed RSF Major General Ali Yaqoub. Ali Yaqoub was the commander of the paramilitary group in Central Darfur, playing a significant role in the operations of the RSF in the region.
With fighting in the country’s west raging, the RSF is also said to have committed another massacre in Sennar state on the other end of the country. Initial reports say that more than 10 residents of the village of Sheikh al-Samani have been killed following an RSF attack, with dozens more wounded. The numbers are yet to be confirmed.

72 people died when a fire broke out seven years ago today in Grenfell Tower, a residential social housing building for people on low incomes in North Kensington, West London. People burnt and choked to death in one of the wealthiest cities in one of the richest countries worldwide because local politicians wanted to save money.
Following the disaster, it emerged that a cheap but unsafe form of cladding had been installed on the outside of the building, which allowed the fire to spread more easily. There weren't any sprinklers, and the fire doors failed to close properly. At first, the fire brigade also told residents to stay in their apartments.
The disaster demonstrated the British political elite’s contempt for the poorer sections of society. There has been no political accountability for the disaster, and six years of an inquiry have yet to report its findings, and there have been no prosecutions.

On this day in 1980, revolutionary socialist, guerrilla intellectual, and pan-Africanist Walter Rodney was assassinated by a car bomb. 41 years later, the Guyanan government admitted responsibility for Dr. Rodney’s political assassination.
Rodney developed a Marxist analysis of the pan-African liberation struggle that placed Black power at its core and argued that only “under the banner of socialism and through the leadership of the working classes” could Africans break from imperialism and colonialism.
He was particularly critical of the post-colonial Jamaican middle class for ignoring the country’s extreme poverty. On the streets of Kingston, he delivered public lectures known as “groundings,” where crowds gathered to discuss radical political and cultural ideas.
In 1974, he accepted a position at the University of Guyana and returned to his home country. However, the government prevented his appointment. On Friday, June 13, 1980, Rodney was assassinated by a bomb in Georgetown.

Clashes between protesters and police have broken out in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, the latest in a series of anti-government protests. Police fired stun grenades at crowds of protesters who closed in on the parliament before being dispersed. At least 79 protesters were injured and at least 98 were arrested.
The escalation in protests followed comments made by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan regarding the completion of a peace treaty with neighbor and longtime adversary Azerbaijan. The treaty would end one of the longest-running conflicts in the former Soviet Union.
The opposition movement, led by Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, has been spearheading the weeks-long protests to demand the resignation of Pashinyan. They view his concessions to Azerbaijan as a betrayal of the country. Last month, as part of the peace talks, Pashinyan handed over control of four border villages to Azerbaijan, sparking mass protests across Armenia.

Militant environmental activists are stepping up their fight in France in opposition to the A69 highway construction, citing severe environmental impacts. Clashes with police started as thousands protested against the project.
The controversy surrounding the A69 project stems from its anticipated environmental impact. The A69 project, which began construction in 2023 and is expected to be operational by the end of 2025, is estimated to cost 450 million euros.
Michel Forst, the UN Rapporteur on Environmental Defenders, visited the site recently and called for "immediate protective measures" for the activists. Forst criticized France for having the worst record in Europe regarding police repression of environmental activists, highlighting the excessive use of force.

Chilean Communist leader Daniel Jadue is facing persecution under the centrist Boric government. Jadue has been given pre-trial detention over alleged corruption during his time as a local mayor. He says no evidence has been presented, which is why he has not been convicted. His fate will be decided this week.
Jadue has been a figurehead for leftist critics of the centrist Boric government. Ever since he was elected, Jadue has spoken out against Boric's right-wing turn, and many say that this is the real reason behind the persecution.

Ethnic tensions in India’s northeastern state of Manipur have reached a new boiling point. Deadly clashes have been occurring across the state, most notably in Jiribam district. The renewed violence follows the defeat of the governing far-right Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state’s general elections.
Following the death of an ethnic Meitei in Jiribam, for which rival armed groups blame each other, clashes erupted. Kuki-Zo tribals are said to have set fire to multiple Meitei villages as “retribution against Arambai Tenggol who initiated these violent acts.” The Kuki-Zo group added that “the tribals will no longer remain silent in the face of aggression.”
In response to the escalation, Indian security forces moved into the area. Meanwhile, both parties accuse the security forces of colluding with rival groups. The latest outbreak of violence has led to the displacement of over 1,000 individuals, both Meitei and Kuki-Zo.

Due to its links to right-wing paramilitaries in Colombia, the banana empire “Chiquita Brands” has been sentenced by US courts to pay a fine of $38.3 million. This verdict represents a major win for nine victims whose family members were killed by these paramilitaries.
The victims sought justice in the USA after a 2007 agreement between the US company Chiquita and the Department of Justice.
Chiquita’s financial support of the far-right AUC (United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia) and its involvement in the arms trade were boosting the paramilitaries’ expansion. These groups were responsible for killing tens of thousands and displacing millions during Colombia’s armed conflict.
Former paramilitary leader Jesús Ignacio Roldán Pérez testified in court that on November 5, 2001, paramilitary groups in the Magdalena department received a shipment of 3,400 AK-47 rifles and seven million rounds of ammunition. These weapons were unloaded from a ship owned by Chiquita Brands.

Yemen is making history as the only country actively fighting militarily alongside Gaza. A look at Yemen’s history adds to the picture of Yemen’s exceptional pioneering role in the region, as the South Yemen state from 1967 to 1990 was the only communist state in the entire Arab world.
Rare footage depicting life in the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1974, at the height of what is commonly considered the country’s brief Maoist period. During this period, Salim Rubai Ali governed the PDR Yemen and received his political education at a Maoist commune in Hadhramaut province.
Notably, from 1969 to 1978, Mao’s China had more influence on the Popular Democratic Republic of Yemen than the Soviet Union. During this time, Yemen relied on the peasantry for economic development. The country’s socialists built a welfare state, offering high-quality education, guaranteed employment, and subsidized housing.

Happy birthday to José Carlos Mariátegui, one of the most essential Marxist intellectuals and communist militants in Latin America! The Peruvian journalist, political philosopher, and socialist was one of the first to apply Marxist analyses to the specific realities of the continent.
Despite facing numerous health challenges, such as tuberculosis, arthritis, and rickets, which disrupted his formal education, Mariátegui's passion for knowledge endured. He pursued self-education and embarked on a lifelong journey in journalism.
His Marxist analysis of the “Peruvian Reality” emphasized the inclusion of Indigenous communities and addressed land-related issues as fundamental to changing society, and has become paramount for revolutionaries all over Latin America.
Mariátegui’s founding of the Peruvian Communist Party and his instrumental role in organizing the inaugural conference of communist parties in Latin America solidified his reputation as a pioneer of socialism on the continent.

Israel killed two women in an airstrike on Jennata village in southern Lebanon. Rescue teams and medics continued removing the rubble in search of survivors. At least 14 people were injured in the strikes that targeted several villages in southern Lebanon.
The strikes followed a long day of escalation with over 150 rockets and drones launched towards Israeli military bases by Lebanon’s Hezbollah. The group’s attack is said to have been the largest since the group successfully fought off an Israeli invasion in 2006 and followed Israel’s assassination of one of the group’s senior leaders.
Since October 8, fire exchanges have continued along Lebanon’s southern border. But in recent weeks, they have been intensifying with Israeli leaders calling for a response to retrieve Israeli deterrence against Hezbollah at its northern border.

Happy birthday, Che Guevara, the Marxist icon par excellence, who changed the world forever during his short life! Starting as a humanitarian doctor, forged by the catastrophic consequences of capitalism in Latin America and immortalized in the communist struggle.
In 1953, bidding farewell to his parents, Guevara started with his legendary motorcycle trip across Latin America. In Mexico, he first encountered his future comrade-in-arms, the young Fidel Castro, who was preparing for the guerrilla struggle against Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship in Cuba.
Three years of guerrilla warfare followed, during which Che became the “comandante” of the Cuban revolutionaries. His victory catapulted the revolutionary onto the world stage. However, his revolutionary urge was not satisfied, and he once again threw himself into the guerrilla fight.
When the Bolivian army captured Che after a fierce battle in 1967, his captors executed him on the spot, following orders from the CIA.

What are the scenarios facing Palestinians who remain in Rafah? Listen to our colleague Hassan R. Esdodi describe the possibilities. Hasan decided to stay and report from the ground as the Israeli occupation forces continue their invasion of Rafah.
Despite opposition by the UN and various governments, including the US, Israeli forces have been operating in Rafah since early May.
Rafah was designated a safe zone at the beginning of Israel’s invasion of Gaza. As a result, around 1.5 million Palestinians were sheltering in the city. After Israel’s latest massacres in Rafah, less than 100,000 remain.

H3zbo!lah has launched its largest attack against Israel since October 7. According to Lebanese broadcaster Al Mayadeen, it is the biggest air attack since the Lebanese resistance group defeated the Zionist entity in 2006.
The unprecedented coordinated attack has involved at least 215 missiles and drones, hitting at least 15 Israeli military sites in northern occupied Palestine and the occupied Golan Heights.

Along Lebanon’s border, local Israeli council head, Amit Marom, was quoted by Israeli media as saying that settlers in his region were experiencing “an intensity of fighting that we have not known until now.”

Riots broke out in Buenos Aires against the senatorial approval of a devastating austerity package by ultra-neoliberal President Javier Milei. During the 11-hour debate in the senate, police escalated the crackdown against a broad front of protesters outside the building.
Molotovs, water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, police cars set on fire, and more dominated the scene deep into the night in Argentina's capital.
Milei has failed to pass a single piece of legislation during his first six months in office. However, he has pushed through massive austerity measures for social programs and universities, squeezing the country’s working class. The official poverty rate in Argentina is currently over 50%.
Growing anger over the demolition of the last pillars of the welfare state is triggering the escalation on the streets. While Argentina's inflation hangs around 300%, Milei is busy on the international stage currying favor with US, Israeli, and European far-right politicians.

“Overthrow Imperialism” is what Filipinos are calling for on the Philippine Day of Independence. Several protests were held in Manila where Filipinos called for an end to both US and Chinese imperialism.
In front of the Chinese consulate in Manila, protesters called for an end to what they described as “China’s occupation of the West Philippine Sea.” They demanded China stop harassing Filipino fisherman and to stop stealing the country’s food supplies.
Another protest was held in front of the US Embassy in Manila a day later. Protesters there accused President Marcos of being a US puppet, as he recently expanded US military access to islands within striking distance of Taiwan.
Activists say the Philippines are being used as a turf for the build-up to inter-imperialist war. Meanwhile, the Communist Party of the Philippines and New People’s Army continue to wage a revolutionary guerrilla war against the government with the aim of establishing a socialist state.

Today is Philippines Independence Day commemorating the country's declaration of Independence from Spain in 1898. It is marked with a public reading of the declaration in Kawait, where it was first read 105 years ago at the Aguinaldo Shrine. Parades also take place across the country, including in the capital Manilla where the President makes a speech followed by a 21-gun salute.
Inspired by the anti-colonial movement in another Spanish colony, Cuba, the Philippines Revolution started in 1896, led by a revolutionary group known as the Kaptipunan. However, following a nationwide armed revolt, a brutal internal power struggle led to a bourgeois betrayal of the revolutionary movement resulting in numerous setbacks.
Although victory over the Spanish colonists was achieved, the Filipino people were betrayed not just by their bourgeois leaders but by the US, who effectively took over as colonialists from the Spanish. It would take many decades before the Filipino people were finally free.

Protests against the dramatic gains made by far-right forces in the EU elections broke out again in Paris. In reaction to the results, thousands have been taking to the streets across France for days.
Video footage shows a brutal crackdown by the Paris police against the protesters, who came under fire from tear gas.
France's right-wing populists led by Le Pen have emerged as the clear winners of the European elections. With over 30% of the votes secured, they outperformed President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party by a factor of two.
In response, Macron dissolved parliament and announced snap elections. While Macron was originally confident of victory, the far-right National Rally party is now expected to emerge victorious.

The US floating pier in Gaza has evoked many questions and conspiracies.
On March 7, the US announced it was building a pier to supposedly bring aid to the besieged enclave (ignoring the fact that Israel is the only thing standing in the way of doing so via land routes). After its construction, the port was damaged by bad weather. Only one day after it was fixed, the Nuseirat massacre happened. Over 270 Palestinians were killed.
To enter Nuseirat refugee camp, Israeli forces disguised themselves as displaced people. During the operation, the truck “broke down” and the Israeli military rushed into the area with a different truck, this time disguised as one carrying aid.
The US forces provided support but it has not been confirmed whether US troops actively participated in the operation. The hostages were flown out of Gaza on a helicopter that took off a few hundred meters from the pier. Following the massacre, the UN World Food Program paused delivering aid through the pier.
