“We’re talking about several massacres that the world media cannot even cover.” - Listen to our colleague Hassan R. Esdodi speak about the alarming consequences of an Israeli ground invasion of Rafah in the south of Gaza.
After weeks of instructing Palestinians in Rafah to evacuate once more, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has announced Israel’s next target: Rafah, previously designated a “safe zone” and the last place left in Gaza where Israeli troops have not yet set foot in.
With over 1.5 million Gazans displaced by Israel’s brutal ground offensive residing in Rafah, a humanitarian crisis is underway as Palestinians are lacking even the most basic necessities.
The systematic forced displacement of almost the entire Gaza population towards the Egyptian border to the south has raised concerns about Israel’s plans to expel millions of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. At the same time, Israeli ministers openly state their plans to colonize the enclave permanently.

One year ago, a series of some of the most devastating earthquakes struck an area of 120,000 square kilometers across southern Turkey and northern Syria, with magnitudes of up to 7.8, killing nearly 60,000 people, including thousands of refugees.
However, the number is likely much higher. At least 107,000 people were injured, and in total, 14 million people were and continue to be affected by the earthquake disaster, and three million people have been displaced.
In Turkey, it took over a week for the government to react, while foreign aid provided by humanitarian organizations was reportedly blocked from entering the affected area. When government aid finally arrived, government agencies such as the Disaster And Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) allegedly put tents on sale instead of distributing them; thousands weren't given tents, being left to rely on friends or relatives as the country continues to grapple with a major economic crisis.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pledged to rebuild the homes that were destroyed within a year. However, work has since slowed, leaving many people on ice as hundreds of thousands remain in container houses or tents in harrowing conditions.
However, while governments worldwide were quick to respond to Turkey's requests for international aid, Syria, already devastated by years of war, was largely denied international aid as sanctions by the EU and US, among others, persisted. Syria's ongoing humanitarian crisis is among the largest in the world, and the earthquake has only further exacerbated the situation
Chile’s out-of-control forest fires have already killed over 112 in the country’s center, while 200 people have been reported missing. Dramatic video footage captures the chaos as people flee from the advancing flames, and buses navigate through the inferno in what looks like a trip through hell.
Authorities have confirmed that the fires have already ravaged 400,000 hectares of land, an area roughly three times the size of Los Angeles, California.
The fires began in hard-to-reach mountainous and forested areas but moved into densely populated neighborhoods. The flames have already devoured entire neighborhoods in Viña del Mar, near a popular beach resort, a city of 300,000.
”The emergency is not over at all, it has not gone down. We are in the first stage of emergency preparedness,” warned Macarena Ripamonti, Mayor of Viña del Mar. This season’s wildfires are far more deadly than usual, a trend that matches the escalating global environmental disasters fueled by climate change.

Hundreds of fascists marched through Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, over the weekend. They were seen doing the fascist salute while marching through the city center carrying torches.
The march was organized by the fascist group “1143,” a group known for having ties to the Hammerskins, Portugal’s most violent skinhead group in recent decades. The group’s leader is Mario Machado, one of Portugal’s most notorious fascists and a former member of the now-disbanded Hammerskins.
Machado has previously been involved in several armed attacks targeting migrants and has been sentenced to prison on multiple occasions for the possession of weapons and crimes related to kidnapping, robbery, and coercion.
Similar fascist marches have occurred in France and Italy in recent weeks. Simultaneously, far-right parties across Europe are making record numbers in opinion polls, with Portugal’s Chega party jumping to 21% last week.

Burning barricades, tear gas, and mass protests dominated the streets of Dakar, Senegal, as unrest broke out after imminent elections were canceled. Concerns about a "constitutional coup" rise as President Macky Sall also arrests opposition politicians.
The former French colony is part of the regional political-military and western-allied ECOWAS bloc. Sall vowed Senegal's troops would join any ECOWAS military invasion against Niger following the 2023 coup. In 2015, Sall sent 2,100 Senegalese troops to join the Saudi Arabian-led war against Yemen.
Last June, Sall launched a deadly crackdown against protests, resulting in at least 23 killed and 390 injured. Since then, all opposition party protests in the capital have been banned.
President Macky Sall announced that he would not run for a third term. Opposition leader Thierno Alassane Sall, also a liberal, denounced the short notice election delay as "high treason towards the Republic."

Happy birthday to US civil rights activist Rosa Parks who was born on this day in 1913. In December 1955, she was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in the southern US state of Alabama. Although Parks is well known for her role in launching the Civil Rights movement in the US her radical political beliefs have been largely ignored by the history books.

Filipino freedom fighters defeated Spanish colonialism at the end of the 17th century, but the US government crushed their hopes of independence shortly after, on this day in 1899.
This is the story of how the US 'purchased' a nation and violently massacred anyone opposed to the deal. Their colonial legacy lives on today with US military bases still dotted across Filipino land.

On this day in 1899, the US started the “Philippine-American War”, massacring up to 1.4 million Filipinos.
In 1896, 30,000 Filipino guerillas organized by the Katipunan revolutionary society were just about to get rid of Spanish colonizers, after 300 years of colonial rule, when the US army arrived, to "help" the Philippines to obtain their independence. On February 4, the US declared war against the Filipinos.
US troops piled up the thousands of Filipino bodies lining the streets and made fortifications of them, while the Katipunan switched focus to their new enemy, launching a heroic campaign of guerilla warfare with the support of the Filipino masses. The US deployed 70,000 troops with instructions to use “overwhelming force”.
They slaughtered entire villages, tortured civilians and built concentration camps where thousands perished. The end of the war in 1902 began 44 years of US colonization. Despite its independence in 1946, today it remains a semi-colony.

Chaos erupted in the state of Manipur in India’s northeast as armed militias effectively took over. Groups of women of the Kuki-Zo community have been driving out central state forces from their villages while Kuki-Zo students protested as state authorities surrendered to the Arambai Tenggol, an armed Meitei militia alleged to be at the forefront of the violence against the Kuki-Zo minority.
Armed members of the Arambai Tenggol flooded Imphal’s streets, summoning all Meitei legislators and putting forth their demands. All lawmakers are said to have signed the charter of demands aimed at disenfranchising the Kuki-Zo.
Ethnic violence in the state, fractured along ethnic lines and largely neglected by New Delhi, has so far cost the lives of nearly 200 people, with tens of thousands of people having been forced to flee their homes. Human Rights Watch has previously accused BJP state authorities of facilitating the conflict with “divisive policies that promote Hindu majoritarianism.”

“They dragged us as if we weren’t human.” – red. Media reporters met with two survivors of Israeli captivity who recounted the violence, abuse and torture they suffered at the hands of Israeli soldiers.
Israeli forces are posting their war crimes online, often sharing footage of mass arrests where Palestinians are seen blindfolded, handcuffed, and stripped naked by masked Israeli guards. Other reports from human rights organizations speak of executions of prisoners and of people dying of cold.
The faith of many Gazans in Israeli detention centers and prisons remains unknown. Recently, the Israeli supreme court upheld an order from right-wing Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, prohibiting Israeli forces and prisons from disclosing any information about Palestinian detainees from Gaza to international organizations and the ICRC.

Hundreds of Greek students took to Athens’ streets and rallied outside the police headquarters in Komotini, successfully demanding the release of 18 detained students. Police had previously violently stormed the law school of the northeastern border city after students occupied it in protest of government plans to introduce private universities.
Students in Komotini have vowed to continue their occupation of the law school after a general assembly of students decided by a majority. Meanwhile, in Athens, another major rally is set to take place on Thursday as the government prepares the draft legislation.
Starting in January, a wave of protests has erupted across Greece’s campuses. Students fear the move will only further the commercialization of the country’s education after Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ government has already implemented a series of educational reforms despite fierce opposition from students and staff.

At least 95 members of Myanmar’s Border Guard Police have fled across the border to Bangladesh as fighting between the junta and the Arakan Army (AA) rages on in Myanmar’s neighboring Rakhine State. This marks the first time that Myanmar forces have been known to have fled into Bangladesh since the Three Brotherhood Alliance (3BHA) launched its offensive against the military government in October.
In recent weeks, the AA has made significant advancements in its home state of Rakhine as local forces say the AA has now taken control over the entire Myanmar-Bangladesh border, with fighting spilling over into Bangladesh.
Myanmar’s military, long infamous for its brutal persecution and expulsion of the Rohingya population from Rakhine State, is now experiencing a significant shift in circumstances, seeking refuge across borders. It is reported that Myanmar’s military personnel have sought asylum in every neighboring country except Laos.

The right-wing everywhere will point to Nayib Bukele's massive election victory in El Salvador as proof of their ideas.
But what's the truth behind Bukele's "success"?
He's turned the country into a prison camp where even having a tattoo is seen as evidence of gang affiliation. Nor has Bukele done anything to address the poverty and inequality that lies at the root of most criminal activity in Latin America.
The number of Salvadoreans intercepted at the US border has increased, so perhaps not all is well in the conservatives' paradise.

“Damn you, State of Israel!” – Watch this iconic rant by Venezuelan revolutionary leader Hugo Chávez, echoing the sentiments of many today in response to Israel's ongoing extermination war against Gaza.
Chávez cut all ties with Israel during the 2008-2009 Gaza war, denouncing it as a "state terrorist" entity. In 2009, Venezuela formally recognized the State of Palestine, affirming its support for Palestinian sovereignty.

On this day 41 years ago, the Israeli-run Christian right-wing organization Front for the Liberation of Lebanon from Foreigners (FLLF) carried out a car bombing outside the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) office in Beirut, Lebanon, killing more than 115 people. The bombing marked just one of a series of deadly car bombings by the FLLF throughout Lebanon during the 1980s.
In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon, intending to evict the PLO from Lebanon. However, when the Israeli occupation failed to do so, they set up the FLLF to do their dirty work, killing hundreds of civilians along the way. Read on to learn more about Israel’s secret anti-Palestinian car bombing campaign.

“We will never forget the moments of terror and fear we lived in this war.” –Listen to the heartbreaking words of a child in Gaza, sending his message to the world. “We, as children, only ask for our right to our childhood.”
Children in Gaza have lived their entire lives under blockade and war. To be a child in Gaza is living on borrowed time. UNICEF has described the Gaza Strip as the most dangerous place in the world to be a child.
Almost half of Gaza’s population is under 18 years old. Israel’s “war on children” has killed over 13,022 since October 7. Over one million children in the Gaza Strip now require mental health treatment. The war left at least 17,000 children in Gaza unaccompanied.

Thirty-two years ago today, Hugo Chávez, then a military officer, launched an unsuccessful armed insurrection in Venezuela in an attempt to overthrow neoliberal President Carlos Andrés Pérez.
That day, he led five units into downtown Caracas in an attempt to seize the presidential palace. However, Pérez had advanced knowledge of the insurrection and could avoid capture.
Although rebels captured some cities across the country, Chávez could not take the capital, Caracas, and was arrested and imprisoned.
Once captured, Chávez was forced to make an announcement on live television admitting defeat and calling on his men to stand down. Chávez took advantage of the fact he was alive to say that the struggle was over “for now,” implying that it could be taken up again at a future date.
Four years later, in 1998, he was elected President of Venezuela for the first time. He embarked on a program to see natural resource nationalization and a new democratic constitution.

The Netherlands is an essential backer of Israel’s war against Gaza, supplying Israel with parts for the F-35 fighter jets used to bomb Gaza from the air. In 2022, Israel imported €2.3 million worth of military goods from the Netherlands under the F-35 program.
In the wake of the UNWRA cuts by Western countries, the Netherlands’ far-right President Geert Wilders wrote on social media, “No more money to the UNRWA. Never again.” The Netherlands also passed a motion condemning the slogan “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free” as “inciting violence.”

Argentinian police have stepped up their repression of anti-government protests as clashes erupted in the capital, Buenos Aires. The armed riot police made heavy use of mace, water cannons, and what seems to be bean bag rounds fired from shotguns as protesters continued to rally en masse against “anarcho-capitalist” President Milei’s neoliberal policies.
Bean bag rounds, small bags filled with lead pellets, were developed in the 1970s as a “non-lethal” means of subduing individuals. Since then, they have been commonly used by law enforcement worldwide. However, there have been numerous fatalities caused by bean bag rounds, such as during Colombia’s national strike back in 2019, as well as in the US, Canada, and Australia.
Mass mobilizations against Milei, his flagship reform package, dubbed the “omnibus bill,” and his plans to introduce crippling austerity measures and extensive privatization of state institutions have been ongoing across the country since late December.
