🟡 Latest War on Gaza news roundup:
🟡 Palestinian prisoners from the occupied West Bank who were recently released from Israeli prisons refer to “exact copies” of the infamous Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay detention camps.
🟡 The Saudi-allied government in Yemen announced the merger of its intelligence service with that of the United Arab Emirates into a unified command.
🟡 The US is offering a $10 million bounty for financiers of the ruling group in Gaza or anything that leads to the disruption of the group’s financial mechanisms, the State Department said on Friday.
🟡 Israeli forces have almost completely withdrawn from the northern Gaza Strip, with the exception of two regions.
🟡 The French and Jordanian air forces have dropped seven tons of urgent humanitarian and medical aid to a field hospital in Khan Yunis.
🟡 According to Hezbollah, it has carried out over 670 operations against Israel in the past three months.
Israel’s bloody war on the Gaza Strip leaves not only humans starving but also animals. In one of the last few zoos left in the Gaza Strip, zookeepers in Rafah city struggle to save the remaining animals from starvation. With only extremely limited supplies left for Gaza’s human population, the animals are left with little to nothing. In the zoo in Rafah, two lion cubs, four monkeys, and several birds have died in the past weeks while the remaining rest are struggling for their lives. “The animals barely survive. The situation is indescribably tragic,” said one of the zookeepers.
There used to be six zoos in total in Gaza, housing various animals, most of which were smuggled in from Egypt through underground tunnels before 2007. When Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip began in 2007, caring for and providing for the animals became even more challenging. Many decided to close their zoos and transfer the animals to Jordan or Egypt, where they could receive better care. Some of the zoos, including their animals, were attacked in previous Israeli aggression against Gaza.
With the ever-increasing severe shortage of food, water, and medical supplies as Israel’s relentless war drags on, entering its 13th week, it’s uncertain how many of Gaza’s animals will survive.

With the participation of the Yemeni Air Force and the first public sighting of its SU-22 fighter bomber, around a million people attended another massive protest in solidarity with Palestine in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. Under the slogan “the blood of the free on the path to victory,” Yemenis marched through the capital. It was widely assumed that Saudi Arabia had succeeded in disabling the Yemeni Air Force’s capabilities in early March 2015, proving that Ansarallah’s military capabilities are likely much bigger than previously expected.
Similar protests have taken place across Yemen after Ansarallah commander Abdul-Malik al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to go out in massive marches in support of the Palestinian people.
Since October 7 and the beginning of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, Yemen has become an increasingly effective and influential front against Israel, starting with ballistic and cruise missile and drone attacks, to the poignant impact on the Israeli economy and trade by preventing Israeli-linked ships and ships heading for occupied Palestine from passing through the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, and the Red Sea.
With the establishment of a US naval task force in the area and the targeting of naval Ansarallah troops, the risk of a more significant confrontation erupting becomes ever closer.

Another threat of war on the Red Sea? A historic deal between Ethiopia and the breakaway Republic of Somaliland sparked mass protests in Somalia’s capital, Mogadishu, as tens of thousands took to the streets against a signed treaty that would give landlocked Ethiopia access to Somaliland’s port, a military base on the Red Sea and the Suez Canal further north.
Somaliland declared independence from Somalia unilaterally in 1991 but is not officially recognized by any other country except Taiwan. The new deal would make Ethiopia the first African country to recognize Somaliland’s independence.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Somalia’s government spoke of a move “contrary to international law” and viewed the deal as selling its land under a foreign flag. They recalled their ambassador from Ethiopia and requested a special session of the UN Security Council. “Somaliland is part of the Republic of Somalia, and Ethiopia has violated international norms,” it said in a statement. Somalia vowed to “defend every square inch” of their country.

With the start of the new year, the Korean peninsula is seeing unprecedented aggression. In 2023, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) tested its largest ballistic missiles and launched its first military spy satellite. For 2024, the DPRK vowed to launch three new spy satellites, build military drones, and boost its nuclear arsenal, according to state news agency KCNA.
The escalation comes as the President of the Republic of Korea (ROK, commonly referred to as South Korea), Yoon Suk Yeol, ditched the historic inter-Korean military agreement and conducted unprecedented joint military drills together with the US and Japan, all the while the US deployed more military assets to the Korean peninsula.
Unlike his predecessor, Moon Jae-in, Yoon has been pursuing a hawkish stance toward the DPRK since he came to power in 2022. The recent escalation on the Korean peninsula comes ahead of a year that will see pivotal elections in both the ROK and the US. How do you think the military escalation will affect those elections?

Palestinians took to the streets across the occupied West Bank to protest the assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri in Beirut, the founding commander of Gaza’s ruling group’s military wing. The Israeli assassination marks their first strike on Beirut since 2006 and a significant cross-border escalation with Lebanon’s resistance forces.
The protests also spread to cities and refugee camps across Jordan and Lebanon. Yemen’s Ansarallah, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and communist parties condemned the assassination. All Gaza-based political factions and their armed wings called for a general strike and confrontation with the Israeli occupation forces on all fronts.
According to the Lebanese security forces, three Israeli missiles hit Beirut, killing at least seven people. Along with Al-Arouri, the Gaza ruling group’s head of operation for the south of Lebanon was killed. Egypt officially informed Israel of freezing its role as a mediator between Israel and the Palestinian factions, aiming to conclude a new exchange deal.
Al-Arouri’s sister said his “blood is not more precious than those who are being killed in the besieged Gaza Strip, particularly children; this is the path he took, knowing that this is how it’s going to end.”

The Zapatistas smashed the neo-liberal triumphalism of the 90s and reinvigorated a global left that was still in retreat following the fall of the Soviet Union. Using the name of the legendary Emiliano Zapata, Indigenous communities in Southern Mexico built a rebellion that foisted them into the history books and reminded a generation that another world is possible.
They built a movement that went beyond protest becoming a permanent movement that included everyone through the participatory democracy they practiced in their self-governing communities. As the old Zapatista slogan goes, "Here the people govern, and the government obeys".

A catastrophic hunger crisis has unfolded in the Gaza Strip, leaving its population on the brink of starvation and famine. Israel’s war of extermination has exacerbated the already dire situation caused by the 16-year-long blockade, leading to widespread hunger and thirst. In a clear violation of international law and yet another war crime, Israel is using the forced starvation of civilians as a method of warfare in Gaza, Human Rights Watch revealed.
The Gaza Strip’s entire population, which constitutes 2.2 million people, was classified as in phase 3 or above of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), meaning that humanitarian food assistance is urgently needed. The classification marks the highest share of people facing high levels of acute food insecurity that the IPC initiative has ever classified for any given area or country. The Famine Review Committee (FRC) was activated due to evidence that phase 5, the highest phase, has been reached in the enclave. Despite the urgent need for humanitarian food assistance, supplies to Gaza are heavily limited due to Israel controlling what enters the enclave.
Only a few people in Gaza can receive food aid from the UN, mostly canned food. Meanwhile, Gaza’s primary food support and assistance comes from charity organizations and solidarity cooking. Gazans, from children to the elderly, are queuing for hours to get their portions. This system existed before the war, although mainly for poor people. Now, it has become the only lifeline for the entire population.

Did you know that a white South African communist and legendary anti-Apartheid activist was Nelson Mandela's housing minister? 29 years ago today Joe Slovo died from cancer at the age of 68. A long-time comrade of Nelson Mandela he dedicated his life to the struggle against Apartheid and racism while fighting for a socialist revolution that would end racial and class inequality in South Africa. Slovo also supported Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation.
In 1961 he helped found uMkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC) which would lead the resistance against Apartheid. Due to political persecution from the Apartheid government, Slovo was forced into exile to the United Kingdom, Angola, Mozambique, and Zambia. He returned to South Africa in 1990 and following the 1994 elections was appointed minister of housing in Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid government.

Students in São Paulo, Brazil, are leading protests against a hike in metro fares signed by the local right-wing governor. This is part of broader plans to privatize public transport in São Paulo, something transport workers were mobilizing against a few weeks ago, paralyzing the city as they went on strike. The plans will raise fares from R$ 4.40 to R$ 5.
Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, former Minister for Infrastructure under former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, has already privatized other services such as electricity and water. During Bolsonaro’s rule, he pushed through a similar plan, privatizing 12 ports and 13 airports.
Unions say that selling off electricity has been a disaster and led to multiple city-wide blackouts due to the mass layoffs enforced by the private company Enel, which recently took over the service.
Freitas sees himself as a possible heir to Bolsonaro and the far-right politics he represented. He’s hoping to use his position as governor to launch himself for a possible election run, though mass protests and strikes could jeopardize that.

Deadly police violence crushed protests in Nepal organized by job seekers, leaving two protesters dead and several injured. Hundreds took to the streets against what they condemned as stricter job conditions abroad.
Protesters set a Nepalese minister’s car on fire while police forces dispersed the crowd with tear gas.
Last year, Nepal plunged into its first recession in six decades as economic performance was hit by inflation and political instability. It was the first time the government officially acknowledged that the country was in recession.
Unemployment is rising due to the struggling economy and lack of job opportunities, forcing young people to leave the country to work abroad. The protesters were mainly young Nepalese people applying for jobs in South Korea.

France keeps losing influence in its former colonial African states: the French embassy in Niger’s capital has now closed – an extremely rare measure. The shutdown marks just the latest blow in a long series of political defeats for Paris in the region, including the withdrawal of all French troops from the country. But why are they in the Sahel region anyway?
Ever since France’s direct colonial overlordship over large parts of Africa ended in the 1950s and 60s, France has maintained a neo-colonial presence in much of the continent, not to lose access to precious natural resources and its profitable control over its former colonies’ central banks.
In 2011, France sought to reassert its domination of the continent when it led the charge for the war on Libya, a war that caused a wave of instability to flood the Sahel region. In response, France sent thousands of troops to “stabilize” the area, but more than a decade later, the opposite happened. In this video, we break it down.

Happy Birthday CLR James! A pioneer of the Black Marxist tradition. Born in Trinidad, he'd go on to author one of the most important texts on the history of the Haitian Revolution, "Black Jacobins", as well as applying his Marxist approach to analyzing his favourite sport, Cricket.
His critical Marxism often put him in conflict with other parts of the left, but his intellectual contributions to the Pan-African movement and the socialist tradition as a whole are undisputed.

“We are living in great fear” – red. Media was on the ground with Delhi’s persecuted Rohingya Muslims, who fled a genocide in Myanmar. However, they now face a similar situation in India, as authorities under the Hindu-nationalist BJP party mirror oppressive actions by Myanmar’s military.
Genocidal attacks at the hands of the Myanmar military starting in August 2017 caused more than 770,000 Rohingyas to flee. At least 20,000 displaced Rohingyas live in India, facing growing anti-Muslim violence and living in constant fear of detention and even deportation back to Myanmar.
Living conditions in refugee camps are deplorable, lacking drinking water, sanitation facilities, and education. Children, in particular, bear the brunt of these conditions, experiencing malnutrition, chronic diseases, and alarmingly high rates of infant mortality.

On this day in 1804, Haiti declared its independence after a slave uprising turned into a revolution that crushed the French colonizers.
After kicking out the French the former colony was renamed "Haiti", the Indigenous Arawak name for the island, and would become the first Black republic in the world as well as the first nation in the Western Hemisphere that abolished slavery.
The independence of Haiti was a major blow to French colonialism and inspired revolutionaries around the world as one of the most successful slave revolutions in history.
