Thousands of fascists marched in Imotski, Croatia, singing songs of the Ustaše, which took power as a Nazi puppet state during World War II to further expand the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. The march also saw mass Nazi salutes and displays of fascist Ustaše symbols.
The march took place during a concert at the same location with 20,000 participants, during which Ustaše songs were also sung.
The Ustaše set about an exterminatory terror campaign with brutality that shocked even the Germans and occasionally obliged the Italians to intervene.

On this day in 1945, the US dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Nagasaki three days after dropping the first nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. The atomic blast killed at least 100,000 people, almost all of them civilians, and included scores of forced laborers from Korea and China who had been trafficked by the Japanese army. By the end of 1945, more than 230,000 people had died from the effects of both atomic bombs.
Watch South Africa's anti-imperialist President Nelson Mandela explain that the US dropped these bombs in order to threaten the Soviet Union, which had emerged victorious from the fight against fascism.

Police in Kenya once again use force to crack down on renewed anti-government protests in Nairobi following two months of deadly protests that killed at least 61. On social media, young Kenyans had called for the “mother of all protests,” dubbed the Nane Nane March, to occur today.
In what has proven to be the biggest crisis for Kenyan President William Ruto during his time in office, the massive protests had previously forced him to abandon a tax reform and fire almost his entire cabinet. The renewed protests come as Ruto swore in his “new” cabinet, reintroducing about half of the previously dismissed ministers.
What began as peaceful youth-led rallies against proposed tax hikes has since expanded into broader protests against Ruto and his administration, with many calling to “liberate the country.”

What do people in Gaza think of the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas?
Sinwar was unanimously elected as head of the group’s political bureau, succeeding the late Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in an attack on his residence in Tehran last week.
Sinwar was born in 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip and is one of the founders of the Hamas movement in the late 1980s.
An Israeli court had previously sentenced him to life in prison for killing Palestinian collaborators and Israeli soldiers. He was released in 2011 along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
He was appointed leader and head of Hamas in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021.

Israeli authorities demolished the slain Palestinian Moamen Fayez Al-Masalma’s house in the occupied West Bank city of Dura. At dawn, the occupation forces stormed Dura, surrounded Masalma’s house, and forced the family out of the house before blowing it up. They even mockingly put up a banner equating Hamas to the so-called Islamic State, despite Masalma having had zero connection to any group.
The demolition of Masalma’s house comes after Israeli forces killed him on April 1 in the ‘48 occupied territories. Authorities had notified the family of the demolition of the house on June 5.
Recent reports recorded the demolition of at least 135 structures, including inhabited homes, uninhabited homes, and agricultural facilities, in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in July alone. The report also noted that the Israeli army issued further demolition notices for 16 homes and other structures in several West Bank provinces.

The anti-fascist counter-protest in Walthamstow, London, has attracted massive crowds. People are still anticipating the over 100 planned far-right events tonight, including in Walthamstow. Meanwhile, thousands of police officers have also been deployed, with more on standby.
Several hundred protesters have also gathered elsewhere in London. Protests in other cities across the UK are said to match the vast numbers seen in Walthamstow.
Counter-protesters have been able to largely keep the far right off the streets for now, successfully organizing a human shield for vulnerable migrant communities. However, how the events unfold further into the night is yet to be seen.

NOW: At least 1,000 protesters rallying against the racist pogroms across the UK have flooded the streets of London. While the far right is rumored to target dozens of “hit list” areas tonight, counter-protesters, mainly consisting of migrants, are planning to defend their communities. red. media is on the ground, speaking to the counter-protesters.
Thousands of police officers are said to already be on the streets in the capital, with 1,300 more on standby. The UK’s Home Office has warned that anyone “involved in criminal disorder or violent thuggery [...] will have to pay the price.”
However, while authorities claim to be determined to crack down on the pogroms, only 425 people have been arrested in almost a week of racist mobs wreaking havoc daily. At the same time, counter-protesters have been urged to stay home rather than organize themselves in resistance to the racist violence.

Far-right pogroms are shaking large parts of the UK, with looming fears of an ever more violent night ahead today. Police say at least 100 further far-right gatherings are planned in several cities. Police say 100 new far-right events are scheduled for today.
A hit list of 39 targets for right-wing extremist attacks is circulating on the internet, mainly offices of immigration and asylum authorities. Previously, mosques and migrant businesses were attacked during night-time riots. So far, only 425 people have been arrested.
Counter-demonstrators are planning to mobilize to protect people at risk. While community leaders and politicians have urged people to stay at home and “let the police do their job,” more and more activists and migrants are mobilizing, disillusioned with the state that became the fertile ground for the mass pogroms in the first place.

New reports of vast massacres of Rohingya are emerging from Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Upwards of 200 Rohingya, attempting to flee the escalating fighting between the country’s military and the resistance, are said to have been slaughtered by a drone strike in Maungdaw township by the anti-junta Arakan Army (AA).
In recent days, the AA has reportedly taken control over the mainly Rohingya town close to the country’s border with Bangladesh. It is said that the Rohingya had been “entirely expelled” from downtown Maungdaw and were now trapped along the Naf River, which forms the township’s long border with Bangladesh.
The anti-junta AA, representing Rakhine’s Buddhist majority, has been making significant gains in the state as the resistance across the country is dealing heavy blows to the military government. While the military’s track record of committing atrocities against the Rohingya is no secret, numerous reports of the AA doing the same continue to surface as well.

Venezuela’s military has sworn “absolute loyalty” to President Maduro for the second time this past week. This most recent statement is a response to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who is now openly calling for a military coup.
The open letter from Machado to the military came as pro-coup protests appear to have been quelled for now, despite the US State Department formally siding with Machado and declaring her candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, as the winner of the July 28 elections.

Palestine Action activists have once again targeted the Israeli weapons industry, hitting a Bristol-based research, development, and manufacturing hub for Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
The group continues to tirelessly target the Israeli war machine in the UK, now even expanding its struggle to other European countries and the US.
The group mainly targets Elbit Systems and its supply chain, which is significantly disrupting its weapons production. Elbit’s weapons are used extensively in Israel’s destructive war against the Gaza Strip and its aggression in Lebanon.

On this day 79 years ago, the US dropped the world's first-ever atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb killed around 140,000 people, most of whom were civilians. The survivors were left deeply traumatized and suffered the horrific impacts of radiation. None of them have ever received reparations.
The US has argued that the bombing was a defensive measure, but evidence has since shown that they knew Japan was on the verge of surrendering. Despite this, several US military officials argued that the bomb was unnecessary to defeat Japan.
In reality, the attack took place so that the US could send a message of intimidation to the Soviet Union.
But just one nuclear catastrophe wasn’t enough: three days later the US bombed Nagasaki on August 9. Combined, the US killed over 250,000 people using these nuclear bombs. This amounts to more than twice the number of US troops killed in the Pacific during WWII.

“By God, this is the twentieth time we’ve been displaced.” — Palestinians in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip are left without a break, as Israel has issued yet another wave of renewed forced displacement orders for several districts in eastern Khan Younis city.
With scores of Palestinians from eastern Khan Younis being once more displaced, what’s going on in the city is practically a repetition of what happened two weeks ago, when the Israeli military launched a military offensive into the city’s east, displacing tens of thousands of residents.
Now, just as many have returned to eastern Khan Younis, the Israeli military launched an offensive into the territory once more, marking the third time such “clearing operation,” purportedly aimed at ridding the area of Palestinian fighters.
Last night, eastern Khan Younis has already faced a heavy bombardment, with some 30 air attacks taking place in the span of a few hours, including strikes on two schools.

Argentinians returned to the streets for mass protests against sky-rocketing poverty under ultra-neoliberal President Javier Milei. The occasion was the saints day of "San Cayetano", the patron saint of workers and the unemployed, a revered figure in working class communities where mixing leftist and religious catholic traditions is common.
Milei's first six months saw an accumulated rise in inflation of 115%, double that of his predecessor's first six months. Despite a massive devaluation of the currency and a promise to end currency controls, a black market for foreign currency persists with the government's exchange rate at 936 Pesos for 1 dollar, while black market rate stands at 1,385 Pesos per dollar, exposing the continuing devalued status of the currency.

An Israeli soldier who raped a Palestinian prisoner alongside other soldiers appeared on Israeli channel 14 to defend his unit that committed the rape. The incident sparked outrage as it was filmed on CCTV cameras and spread to the media.
The incident happened in the Sde Teiman detention center, where several reports have revealed the brutal condition and systematic torture, including rape, electric shocks, and starvation against Palestinian prisoners.
The incident has sparked an outrage in Israel, mainly for initiating an investigation and questioning the soldiers but not for the rape itself. Israelis, including politicians and reserve soldiers, have even taken a step ahead, storming a military base to protest the investigation and release the soldiers, simply protesting the soldiers’ rights of raping prisoners.

Happy birthday to the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata! Born today in rural Mexico in 1879, he led the armed farmers uprising that eventually snowballed into the Mexican Revolution of 1911. Zapata commanded the “Liberation Army of the South,” fighting for land rights and for power to be in the hands of the peasants.
Beyond the fight for land, Zapata stressed the vital connection between the struggle of the Mexican peasantry and the fight for social justice and material necessities: “We fight for the land and not for illusions that give us nothing to eat […] With or without elections, the people are chewing the cud of bitterness.”
Emiliano Zapata’s life was tragically cut short when he was gunned down by federal forces in 1919. Today his legacy lives on through Zapatista revolutionary groups that emerged in the mid-1990s fighting for land reform and justice, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

Genocide doesn’t matter because Trump bad? Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a campaign rally by US Vice President Kamala Harris with chants like “We won’t vote for genocide.” The seemingly pressed Kamala found few sympathetic words for Gaza in response, answering, “If you want Donald Trump to win, just say that.” Her apparently equally ignorant voter base cheered her genocide-pleasing “clapback.”

In an absolutely ironic turn of events, the US and UK’s ambassadors to Japan, the former being the very country that nuked the city of Nagasaki, refused to attend the city’s memorial ceremony. Why, you ask? It’s because Mayor Shiro Suzuki had decided not to invite Israel.

Only three out of 24 battalions of the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, have been completely eliminated, according to forensic analyses by conflict think tanks. The military reality in Gaza thus stands in stark contrast to Netanyahu’s arrogant statements to the US Congress: “Victory is in sight.”
Evaluations by the Critical Threats Project and the Institute for the Study of War reveal the successful flexibility of the Qassam Brigades to transform from a frontline warfare-capable army to a guerrilla force capable of withstanding a protracted war.
Israel claims to have taken down half of the Qassam Brigade’s commanders and over 14,000 combatants. Their enemy disputes those figures, though it has not offered a casualty count. The Qassam Brigades have boasted of recruiting “thousands” of new fighters since the war began.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed as Israel concentrated its deadly attacks on the central Gaza Strip. The latest of the attacks targeted several homes and a tent camp housing hundreds of displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Deir Al-Balah.
Deir Al-Balah city and other parts of the middle area have seen at least five major attacks within just a few days, as Israel ramps up its attacks, unleashing an intense bombing campaign on central Gaza, an area with a significant concentration of aid teams and displaced people.
The most recent wave of displacement orders in central and southern Gaza has led to the renewed displacement of around 200,000 people, however, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) warns of fears of yet another wave of forcible displacement: “People are living in a constant state of unpredictability, not knowing what is going to come next, be it more displacements, more relocations, or a regional escalation.”

Amid the uprising that toppled the government in Bangladesh, red. media spoke to protesters at the heart of the political earthquake. A day after the now-resigned Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country, the parliament was dissolved following her failed crackdown on anti-government protests.
The situation in Dhaka remains highly tense, with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over who will step in to fill the void left by Hasina’s 15-year rule. However, the student-led movement remains a formidable force. Their influence was evident in their demand for the dissolution of parliament this morning, threatening to renew their mobilization.
Some key protest organizers have proposed Muhammad Yunus as the head of a transitional government. While Yunus is known for criticizing capitalism and focusing on addressing social inequality and poverty, his proposed solutions lean more towards reforms rather than the sweeping systemic change many protesters call for.
