Thousands attempted to storm the city hall of the Serbian capital, Belgrade, last night in protests against alleged "fraud" in the parliamentary and local elections a week ago. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested several people. The unrest marked the seventh consecutive day of protests.
The protests are aimed at the right-wing nationalist party of the current President, Aleksandar Vucic, which claimed victories during the snap elections. An international observer mission reported cases of violence, vote buying, and ballot boxes being stuffed with fake votes after the election.
Several members of parliament from opposition parties have gone on a hunger strike. In addition, inner-EU tension has arisen, with Vucic calling Germany's harsh criticism an "interference in the election process in Serbia."

Huge numbers of marching Yemenis have been seen being deployed to confront the US-led coalition in the Red Sea. Ever since Israel began its war on the Gaza Strip, Yemenis have been at the forefront of solidarity with the Palestinians: from organizing protests with hundreds of thousands of people to cutting off Israel’s supply line in the Red Sea.
In response, the US has spearheaded the creation of a naval task force to “protect shipping in the Red Sea,” whose purpose is in fact to protect Israel and not international shipping. Ansarallah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned that any escalation will be met with escalation, also clarifying that engaging in a direct war with the US and Israel, rather than their proxies, is what the group wants the most.

Indian police continue what the Myanmar military started: the persecution of the Muslim Rohingya population. Rohingya refugees in India are left with no safe place as India’s notoriously Islamophobic police is persecuting the refugees in Indian-occupied Kashmir, leaving many fearing arrest after a series of police raids targeted locals sheltering Rohingya refugees in the Bathindi area of Jammu city, Kashmir. Police conducted raids in at least 29 locations, confiscating documents and investigating those who have assisted the refugees according to media reports.
According to official data, there are around 13,700 refugees who have settled in the region, mainly Muslims from Bangladesh and Rohingyas from Myanmar. The authorities have claimed that many of the Rohingyas have entered the region through Bangladesh without documentation. Jammu police arrested 50 people following the raids while 10 Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals were also held.
More than 730,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled from Myanmar after the country's military, now in power, began a genocidal campaign of massacres, rape and arson against them in August 2017. Most Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh leading to the creation of Kutupalong refugee camp the largest refugee camp in the world close to the border with Myanmar.
The raids reflect the Islamophobic policies of the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP party and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Since the BJP came to power in 2014 it has been promoting a racist discourse against Muslims depicting them as an undesirable group and a threat. This is within the context of territorial disputes with Muslim majority Pakistan over Kashmir and Jammu which are occupied by India. The 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act embedded this discrimination by fast-tracking citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from neighboring countries before 2015 but excluding Muslims.

red. Rewind 2023: The year started with months of mass protests and nationwide strikes in France against President Emmanuel Macron's decision to increase the retirement age, which was rejected by over 70% of the population. Hundreds of thousands of workers paralyzed public life with over a dozen nationwide strikes in the first five months of the year.
Protesters occupied corporate buildings linked to the capitalist class, such as the headquarters of BlackRock and Louis Vuitton in Paris. The protests were met with massive police violence. After the French Assembly voted against the reform, Macron used a highly controversial constitutional article to force it through, and it became law in September.

Elon Musk and Rishi Sunak were guests of honour at a far-right festival organized by Meloni’s fascist “Brothers of Italy” party. At the event itself, Meloni reiterated her support for Ukraine and Israel, confirming the perverse alliance between Zionism and European fascism. While Mussolini colluded with Hitler to carry out the holocaust, his political heirs are best friends with Netanyahu.

Post-independence Kenya is a land still rooted in disparity. In Nairobi, 65% of the population still lives in informal settlements that sprouted up during the colonial period. These settlements, like Kibera – one of Africa’s biggest slums – were set up to serve the elite in neighboring white areas like Karen.
Residents of Kibera say not much has changed today, except that the white man has been replaced by his black counterparts – a very well-packaged class that learned from the white settlers and is an ally to the colonial front.

Do you know who this iconic quote belongs to? The Brazilian socialist and Workers Party organizer Francisco 'Chico' Mendes was tragically assassinated on this day in 1988 by wealthy landowners wanting to extract resources from the Amazon. As a tireless campaigner for the Amazon rainforest, which is now more threatened than ever, he knew precisely how closely environmental protection and class struggle are linked.
Mendes took militant action to stop the construction of a highly polluting road in the state of Acre and created forest reserves for the sustainable extraction of products for Indigenous communities and farmers. This made him an enemy of local ranchers, loggers, and landowners. On December 22, 1988, Chico Mendes was shot and killed in front of his house.
