    Chile today: massive march and repression

    Originally published: Pressenza on September 13, 2023 by Pía Figueroa (more by Pressenza) (Posted Sep 15, 2023)

    It is 50 years since the coup d’état and there is an important generational change on the streets, many thousands of young people who feel the need to express their discomfort with society, to express their pain at the breakdown of democracy and all that followed.

    Is the end of Western financial dominance in Africa on the horizon or will the history of Libya repeat itself?

    Originally published: Pressenza on July 25, 2023 by Jón Karl Stefánsson (more by Pressenza) (Posted Jul 27, 2023)

    Countries across Africa recently took a major step towards economic independence from the West by launching an insurance system that will allow them to conduct inter-state trade without the involvement of the U.S. dollar or other Western currencies. This could have major implications on the development of both African as well as Western economies. However, the Wests response to previous attempts to free Africa from the economic and political dominance of the West, then by Libya, are a source of worry.

    Memorial Day by a Vietnam War veteran

    Originally published: Pressenza on May 28, 2023 by Camillo Mac Bica (more by Pressenza) (Posted May 29, 2023)

    Perhaps some may find what I will argue below as disrespectful, especially coming from a veteran who participated and lost comrades in the American War in Vietnam. But it must be said. How Memorial Day is currently observed does not, in my view, fulfill its intended purpose—that is, as a day of remembrance, reflection, and appreciation for the sacrifices of those who fought and died in this nation’s all too numerous wars.

    The agony of liberal Zionism

    Originally published: Pressenza on February 17, 2023 by Yakov M. Rabkin (more by Pressenza) (Posted Feb 20, 2023)

    Among my Israeli friends there used to be many liberal Zionists. They sought social justice, supported peace initiatives with the Palestinians, and otherwise believed in Israel’s progressive roots. Indeed, in its pioneer years, Zionism, while engaged in colonization of Palestine, was associated with ideas of collective endeavour and equality.

    Workers in the UK take to the streets in largest day of industrial action in a decade

    On the 1st of February 2023, the UK came the closest it has come in a generation to a general strike as workers from across a wide range of sectors including education and transport walked out in protest regarding poor pay, unfair working conditions, pensions and precarity.

    Requiem for a dream: 100 years after the founding of the USSR

    Originally published: Pressenza on January 10, 2023 by Oleg Yasinsky (more by Pressenza) (Posted Jan 13, 2023)

    The worst crime the USSR committed, the one for which it will never be forgiven, was to have been a shared hope for a more just, more dignified and more humane society.

    Originally published: Pressenza on August 16, 2022 by Ximena Soza (more by Pressenza) (Posted Aug 17, 2022)

    The President of Chile, Gabriel Boric, during his campaign promised to reform the country’s uniformed police.

    The U.S. unilateral sanctions against Russia will produce a global food disaster

    Originally published: Pressenza on May 24, 2022 (more by Pressenza)

    “There is really no true solution to the problem of global food security without bringing back the agriculture production of Ukraine and the food and fertilizer production of Russia and Belarus into world markets despite the war.” These blunt words by UN Secretary-General António Guterres accurately describe the present global food crisis.

    When did the Ukraine War begin?

    Originally published: Pressenza on March 8, 2022 (more by Pressenza)

    Viewing the Ukraine war as starting with the current Russian invasion leads to very different conclusions than if you consider that the starting point of this war was the 2014 U.S.-orchestrated coup in Ukraine. The coup, which had elements of an authentic popular revolt, has been used by outside powers to pursue geopolitical ends.

    The U.S. makes a mockery of treaties and international law

    Originally published: Pressenza on January 8, 2022 (more by Pressenza)

    The United States claims it is operating under a “rules-based order”—but the term is not the same international law recognized by the rest of the world. Rather, it is camouflage behind which American exceptionalism flourishes.

    Whales will save the world’s climate—unless the military destroys them first

    Pentagon documents estimate that 13,744 whales and dolphins are legally allowed to be killed as “incidental takes” during any given year due to military exercises in the Gulf of Alaska.

    Chen Zhang | Franc CFA pénurie chronique de petite monnaie dans plusieurs pays | MR Online

    The independence of French Indochina after the Second World War triggered a wave of independence in the French-speaking African countries, and it appeared that French colonial foundations had suffered a huge blow in the early 1960s.
