Burkina Faso Suspends Participation In Francophone Judicial Body

In yet another move away from Françafrique, Burkina Faso’s High Council of the Judiciary (CSM) announced on December 15 its decision to suspend participation in the Francophone Network of Judicial Councils, known by its French acronym, RFCMJ. Headquartered in Quebec, a French-speaking part of Canada, the organization seeks to “develop common standards” in judiciaries of Francophone countries. Over half of its 23 members are former colonies in Africa. Burkina Faso’s CSM was one of the five judicial councils in RFCMJ’s current bureau, alongside Guinea, Lebanon, Quebec, and France, which presides over it.

Lifting The Veil On International Human Rights Day

The notion that the “West,” responsible for the most horrific crimes in the annals of human history, could somehow be associated with the defense of something they called human rights was always an obscene proposition. But with the assistance of the human rights industry, which is infused with Eurocentrism and white saviorism, the collective West was given ideological cover to continue its project of racist plunder and colonial fascism after fascist forces were partially defeated in Europe with the end of the second imperialist war in 1945. Outside of Europe, in the colonized world where fascism was originally born and practiced as a value extraction process that materially created the “West,” colonial fascism continued but was given a new face and tagline.

Ontario First Nations Are Building A Village To Block Mining Project

There’s a brand-new clearing on the point above the rapids on the Attawapiskat River, 70 kilometres from Neskantaga First Nation. By the time Ontario’s planned Northern Link road is built to the edge of this river in 10 years, Neskantaga’s chief says those living in a permanent settlement here will be there to block the bridge and the highway into the Ring of Fire. “It’s going to be a village,” Gary Quisess says. “People are going to move away from the reservations. We’re so compressed with reservations, in the box. People are going to move away, back to the old ways where people lived separately, all over the place. That’s the way of our life, our culture.”

Roles Reversed As Western Imperialist Gory, Glory Days Come To An End

The Nazis’ unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945, triggered a bacchanal across the West and parts of the East as millions poured into the streets to celebrate on the following day, singing, dancing, hugging, and famously, kissing. From Winnipeg to Warsaw, and Chicago to Copenhagen to Cape Town, the jubilation expressed on Victory in Europe Day-- or VE Day as it came to be known—represents a singular, unifying moment for the world community. The Allies’ victory over fascism did not mean, however, that all fascism was banned, just fascism against white people, as the Algerians quickly discovered on the occasion of VE Day.

Worldwide Solidarity For Indigenous Liberation

Plymouth, Massachusetts - Over 3,000 protesters occupied Cole’s Hill in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Nov. 27 to observe the 56th National Day of Mourning (NDOM). As Mahtowin Munro (Oglala Lakota), co-leader of United American Indians of New England (UAINE) described, this year’s Day of Mourning action triumphed despite reactionary attempts at sabotage. In a flagrant violation of the agreement it made with UAINE in 1998 — after police beat, gassed and falsely arrested 25 UAINE leaders and supporters in 1997 — the Town of Plymouth refused to allow UAINE to provide a stage on Cole’s Hill unless UAINE took out extortionate insurance policies.

56th National Day Of Mourning Observed In Plymouth, Massachusetts

United American Indians of New England (UAINE) has called for the 56th National Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 12 o'clock noon. Participants gathered by the statue of Massasoit on Cole's Hill above the Plymouth waterfront. Since 1970, hundreds of Native people and non-Native allies have gathered annually in Plymouth on U.S. Thanksgiving Day.  According to UAINE co-leader Kisha James, who is Aquinnah Wampanoag and Oglala Lakota and the granddaughter of Wamsutta Frank James, the founder of National Day of Mourning, “Native people have no reason to celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims.

National Day Of Mourning

Since 1970, Indigenous people & their allies have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native people do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims & other European settlers. Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands and the erasure of Native cultures. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Indigenous ancestors and Native resilience. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection, as well as a protest against the racism and oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience worldwide.

Puerto Rico As A Launchpad For War On Venezuela

When President Trump announced that the CIA had been authorized to conduct operations inside Venezuela, just as US drones struck another small boat off Venezuela’s coast, few people in the United States realized that much of this militarization begins on the soil of a land denied its own sovereignty: Puerto Rico. The island that has lived under US rule since 1898 is once again being used as a staging ground for US militarism, this time for Washington’s latest “war on drugs” narrative, masking a campaign of coercion against Latin America’s independent governments.

Recognizing Palestinian Statehood Is The Floor

Since I first opened my eyes to this world as a third-generation refugee, I was taught that the notorious Balfour Declaration had brought upon us this long, unrelenting history of suffering. Issued in 1917, the statement declared the British government’s support for the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine. It blatantly denied our existence in our own homeland, instead granting the Jewish people the right to establish their nation on land that is ours — under cover of the myth of “a land without a people for a people without a land.” Our homeland, with its people, was then presented on a gilded plate to Zionist militias and, eventually, the state of Israel, both of which wasted no time in massacring and displacing the Indigenous population during the Nakba and beyond.

Oceti Sakowin Treaty Councils Call Emergency Action To Rescue Lakota Language

The Oceti Sakowin Treaty Councils issue this urgent call to all Lakota people, communities, and leadership: it is time to launch large-scale emergency operations to rescue and restore the Lakota language. The Councils recognize that our language is the living heart of our Nation, and without decisive action, it stands on the brink of irretrievable loss. The Lakota Iyapi (Voice) is the very first source of our inherent sovereignty. It is how we remain close to our ancestors, our Unci and Tunkasila of long ago. We have walked this earth for millions of years, but today we face the near end of our sacred language. Lakota Iyapi is not only the way we communicate with one another, but also the way we speak with the powers of creation.

Israel’s Perpetual War Machine Demonstrates That Environmental Warfare Is A Tool

The zionist ethnostate’s recent pause in hostilities against the people of Gaza due to so-called Phase 1 of President Trump’s 20 Point Gaza Peace Plan has resulted in a collective sigh of relief for many the world over, who have observed and/or have been victims of the ongoing genocidal onslaught that’s pillaged an estimated 70,000 lives, including approximately 20,000 women and children, included the use of starvation as a weapon, and has reduced the Gaza Strip to rubble as critical infrastructure including homes, schools/universities, hospitals and places of worship have all been decimated by the Israel Occupying Force’s (IOF) war machine that has been aided, abetted, and funded by the United States and other Western governments.

Why It’s Still A Good Day To Be Indigenous

It’s a good day to be Indigenous. Yes, even now. Even after what we witnessed this past week when the White House issued a proclamation for Columbus Day and failed to acknowledge Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Even with the return of a presidential administration that has made no secret of its disdain for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts. And even though white nationalists continue to grumble at the idea of honoring Indigenous peoples at all—yes, it is still a good day to be Indigenous. Being Indigenous doesn’t depend on who sits in the Oval Office. It doesn’t hinge on whether a president utters the words “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” or if federal websites decide to scrub Native achievements from their pages.

National Illegal Immigration Day

There was an elder friend of mine who often called to tell me what he had been thinking about. Elders do that so you can expand your mind and increase your own wisdom. Although I am also up there in age, 78 at my last birthday, I still have friends who are older than me and I really appreciate when we get to talk. But I also know many elderly who only think about the color of their hair, or what is the latest wasicu fashion, or if they can get a young woman to marry them. There is a big difference. So this elder, who went home last year, would call and give me ideas for what others should also think about. In our conversation, he said that all the Native nations on Turtle Island (North America) should have a National Immigration Day, or a National Illegal Immigration Day.

We Must Reject Normalization Of A Genocidal Regime And Impunity For War Crimes

Israel is a rogue regime, deeply violent, fundamentally racist and unconstrained. It has developed a kind of arrogance that comes out of absolute impunity guaranteed by the West. That's why they not only deployed a murderous attack in a sovereign country against people who were there to negotiate with them, but they also carried out acts of aggression against Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and in the territorial Waters of Tunisia and Malta. This is a rogue regime that is posing a threat across Western Asia and beyond to the broader world. It's a regime that has launched a transnational terror attack in Lebanon with booby-trapped pagers. It is a regime that occupies territory in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. It is a regime that has attacked the UN itself.

Trump ‘Peace Plan’ A Cynical Cover To Continue Palestinian Extermination

The psychopathology of the white supremacist colonial mindset renders colonial policy makers operating within that framework incapable of apprehending reality from the standpoint of the colonized.  The belief in a  Gaza “paradise” for the rich and famous, once Palestinians are paid to leave, or the idea that, after over seven hundred days of a war of extermination, where continued survival is, Palestinians would then surrender, can only be believed by individuals completely afflicted with this psychopathology. Yet, this is Trump’s 20 Point so-called peace plan, released on September 29th with indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu at his side. It is a proposal with a core demand that Palestinian resistance completely surrender to occupation— and certain annihilation.
