Today, in Black History Month, we remember what is often regarded as pan-African pioneer Kwame Nkrumah’s best-ever speech. “Unite or perish,” he famously warned, appealing to the heads of 31 other African heads of state to come together to create a strong continental union. These are the famous words the first Ghanaian president uttered at the Organization of African Unity’s (OAU) founding summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 61 years ago.

After escaping slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the Massachusetts and New York abolitionist movement, known for his powerful speeches. He wrote three autobiographies that recounted his experience as a slave and was a strong supporter of women being granted the right to vote. At the 1872 presidential election, Douglass became the first ever Black American Vice presidential candidate for the Equal Rights Party.

German police attacked anti-fascist protests in Berlin commemorating the fourth anniversary of a fascist attack in Hanau in which nine people with a migration background were shot dead. Police arrested several at the protest as "from the river to the sea" Palestine solidarity slogans were shouted.
Organizers of the protest criticize the "unprecedented incitement against migrants" and draw parallels between the state's crackdown on pro-Palestine voices and the rising far-right threat in Germany.
The Hanau attack marked another unsolved far-right attack with shady circumstances surrounding the crime. "These are not isolated incidents; it's systematic in Germany," says the Berlin migrant anti-fascist group "migrantifa."
The police failed utterly during the crime, detaining the killer's body hours after the attack. The perpetrator, Tobias Rathjen, was known to the security service. After the crime, authorities disbanded a special police unit on charges of right-wing extremism.

Happy birthday to the late Brazilian footballer Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira, known as "Doctor Sócrates." The revolutionary Brazilian footballer used his fame and influence to fight for the rights of oppressed people.
Known as a genius midfielder and knowledgeable Marxist, Sócrates was passionate about philosophy, arts, and medicine, obtaining a degree in the latter at 24 years old and dedicated his life to it after he retired from professional football.
He co-founded the Corinthians Democracy movement to challenge the capitalist model of football and opposed the military dictatorship in Brazil through the Diretas Já movement, which demanded democratic elections in Brazil during the military dictatorship that ended in 1985.
The movement, together with massive protests, played a key role in ending the nearly 20-year-long US-backed dictatorship that brutally repressed the left and oppressed people, committing widespread crimes.

🟡 Yemen’s Ansarallah targeted the British vessel Rubymar in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and shot down a US drone.
Today marks four years since a right-wing extremist shot and, in cold blood, murdered nine youths with migrant backgrounds in the German town of Hanau.
Recent years have seen a steady rise in Germany’s far-right, with the AfD party on its way to becoming the country’s main opposition party. With a string of failures and inaction at the hands of the German government, the attack in Hanau serves as yet another example of its willful blindness in the right eye.
So read on to find out how the German state was and continues to be complicit in what some describe as the worst right-wing attack in Germany’s recent history.

“The democracy in India has ended, and now there is the regime of violence, the regime of Hitler.” red. Media was at the frontlines with India’s farmers under fire from tear gas fired by police who barricaded Delhi to lock out the massive protests.
India’s farmers have been protesting for a mandatory minimum price for their crops for over a week. Negotiations with the Modi government earlier this week were unsuccessful, leading to a resurgence of protests. The farmers blocked the streets with barricades and are withstanding tear gas by suffocating the gas grenades.
Police forces shot and killed a 22-year-old protester who succumbed to his head injuries in hospital on Tuesday. Police deny the killing, but a video of the victim dying in a hospital bed went viral on social media, and his death was confirmed by hospital staff.
The protests echo India’s farmers’ rebellion in 2021. The protests were sparked by reforms that handed over India’s agricultural market to large corporations in the Global North.
EXCLUSIVE: Pro-Palestine activists targeted Germany's largest publishing house, Axel Springer, for its whitewashing of Israel's extermination war against Gaza and incitement against Palestinians. The activists left a huge message at the Axel Springer Skyscraper site that reads, "Springer participated in the shooting."
The slogan emerged during the radical student movement of the 1960s in West Germany, which besieged the Springerhaus in 1968 after an armed attack on the prominent student leader Rudi Dutschke. Many blamed the Springer house for propagating anti-communist sentiments, fueling the assassination attempt, giving rise to the slogan "Springer participated in the shooting."
The media empire owned by Axel Springer includes prominent outlets such as Bild, Die Welt, Business Insider, Politico, and others. Springer enshrined its commitment to Israel in its "constitution." Journalists and all other employees must pledge their ideological commitment to Israel, NATO, and the "free market economy" before signing a contract.
The history of Axel Springer is deeply intertwined with the Nazi Reich. At the age of 21, Springer joined a paramilitary Nazi organization before moving to the newspaper "Altonaer Nachrichten" in 1933, where he produced Nazi propaganda as deputy editor-in-chief and developed his anti-communist and racist rhetoric, which paved the way for his life-long career until his death in 1985.

Israeli social media has become a cesspool of hate. Whether it's sharing photos of dead Palestinians for mockery or organizing to block food trucks from entering Gaza, social media platforms used by settlers to incite violence and racism have become wildly popular.
Many of these closed groups are in Hebrew; therefore, most international audiences are unaware of just how radicalized and racist many Israelis have become. While Western media often quote polished spokespeople, we have investigated the dark side of Israeli public opinion.

Today, in Black History Month, we remember revolutionary leader and Black liberation icon Malcolm X, who was assassinated on this day in 1965. Listen to this speech where he debunks one of the key myths that underlie American exceptionalism and moralizing about the so-called superiority of their system and “separation of powers,” which in reality only exists for some.
To this day, his death remains a mystery as two of the three people who were convicted for his murder were exonerated in 2021 after the trial was revisited, after more than 20 years in prison each.
An estimated 30,000 people attended his funeral, including many prominent civil rights leaders and activists, a testament to his impact on the world. Despite his death, Malcolm X’s influence and legacy as a fearless and uncompromising leader in the struggle for Black Liberation have made him an enduring symbol of resistance and defiance against oppression.

"For more than 60 years, they steal from us, they kill us," said a protester in Goma, DR Congo. red. Media spoke to protesters in Goma who are demanding the expulsion of Western embassies, including those of Germany, France, and the US, and cutting ties with "imperialists." Protesters burned Western flags to show their dissatisfaction with the exploitation of their countries by these Western nations.
The current protests were triggered by M23's advance towards the capital of North Kivu province, Goma, causing tens of thousands more to flee their homes
Since the murder of Congo's revolutionary leader Patrice Lumumba was orchestrated by the CIA and Belgium, foreign companies have plundered the country and fuelled violence through arming and financing armed groups in exchange for minerals. Between 1996-2007 alone, six million Congolese were killed. DRC is the world's most resource rich country and has untapped raw mineral wealth worth an estimated $24 trillion.

Hitler’s Holocaust is the only historical comparison that can be made when discussing Israel’s war on Gaza, says Lula, during a state visit to Ethiopia.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has responded to the comments by saying, “Drawing comparisons between Israel and the Nazis and Hitler is to cross a red line” and that it’s an “attempt to attack the Jewish people.”
Israeli authorities shut down any accusations of fascist tendencies by portraying them as anti-Semitic. As such, making the comparison often results in one being censored on social media platforms or even prosecuted, such as in Germany today. This is despite many Holocaust survivors themselves making this comparison.

On this day in 1942, then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, forcibly relocating virtually all Japanese Americans to concentration camps for the simple crime of being of Japanese ancestry. Meanwhile, the US claimed to be fighting for “freedom” during WWII. While one might think that this was done out of “military necessity,” Italians and Germans in the US were largely left alone. It was Asians who the US government perceived as an existential threat to “Western civilization,” not fascism. Read on to learn more about this ugly chapter in the history of anti-Asian sentiment in the US.

🟡 Latest war on Gaza news roundup:
🟡 The US is planning to supply more ammunition and bombs to Israel despite widespread condemnation of Israel's plans to launch a ground invasion of Rafah, where most of the population of the Gaza Strip is seeking refuge. The value of the shipment is estimated at tens of millions of dollars.
🟡 The number of Palestinian prisoners in the West Bank has risen to 7,060 since October 7.
🟡 Hundreds of thousands of protesters around the world took to the streets in more than 120 cities to join the second Global Day of Action for Gaza ahead of the looming Rafah invasion.
🟡 The ruling militant group in Gaza said it would accept "nothing short of a complete cessation of Israeli aggression" as grounds for ceasefire negotiations.
🟡 Israel's war economy continues to nosedive. The cost of calling up the reserve troops amounts to 630 million dollars per week.
🟡 Israeli soldiers attacked Khan Younis's Nasser Hospital, one of the most important hospitals still functioning.
Since 1948, settler groups in occupied Palestine have been the foot soldiers of Zionist settler colonialism. They represent the most right-wing force within Israeli society, and their violence is only out-matched by the Israeli regime itself. Settler groups lead the violent establishment and growth of settlements throughout the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, which have become home to many ministers and lawmakers who are extremist settlers themselves.
This bloody land grabbing strategy is viewed by many parts of Israeli society - from political parties, to religious and civil society groups - as a means to secure Zionists' bogus biblical claim to the land.

Huey P. Newton's birthday this year coincides with a global takeover by the extreme-right. As liberals fail to grapple with the threat, its crucial to study how Newton and the Panthers recognized that the struggle against racism, capitalism and imperialism are inseparable.
