Indigenous Elder In Australia Is Suing King Charles III For Genocide

July 28, 2026 Marisa Wikramanayake, The Canary. , , ,
In June 2026, Krauatungalung Elder Djuran Bunjileenee Uncle Robbie Thorpe appealed to the Victorian Supreme Court in Australia as part of a genocide court case. The accused? King Charles III as the UK Crown representative. It is one of a series of court cases Uncle Robbie has filed. Another is a trespassing case brought against Margaret Gardner, the governor of Victoria. Uncle Robbie stands in front of the Victorian Magistrates’ Court in trousers and a North Face jacket. As I step onto the curb, he holds an arm out for a hug and warns me against being mown down by cyclists. It’s the first time we have met.

Burkina Faso Rejects EU Resolution As ‘Neo-Colonial’ Interference

June 27, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, Breakthrough News. , , ,
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on June 18, criticizing Burkina Faso’s human rights record, civic freedoms, and governance under the government led by popular leader Ibrahim Traore. In response, Burkina Faso summoned the Head of the European Union Delegation in Ouagadougou, rejecting the resolution as an infringement on its sovereignty and accusing European lawmakers of relying on misinformation and a neo-colonial understanding of African affairs. The European Parliament passed the resolution with 476 votes to 11, and 75 abstentions.

Security Crises Around The Sahel: Nigeria And The Alliance Of Sahel States

June 11, 2026 Francis Phillip, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Security crises in West Africa cannot be understood in isolation but as reflections of a state’s prioritization of popular sovereignty or foreign alignment. Unlike Nigeria, the African masses in Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger are strategically organized to bolster national security and Pan-African unity. From April 25-26th, the Islamist terrorist group Jama’at Nusrat al Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM), in coordination with the Tuareg separatist movement the Front de libération de l’Azawad (FLA), conducted attacks on several cities across Mali.

Is Mali’s Capital Really Blockaded?

May 24, 2026 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Al-Qaeda-affiliated JNIM terrorists torched fuel tankers and other civilian vehicles, including buses and trucks, en route to Mali’s capital, Bamako, BBC reported on May 21, and went on to “confirm” that the “blockade of this city” has intensified. The Western media has been peddling the narrative of a blockaded capital and a besieged government since late last year, after similar attacks. It doubled down on this narrative after the JNIM, in coalition with a Tuareg separatist group in the north called the MNLA, launched country-wide, coordinated attacks on six cities to overthrow the sovereigntist government that had expelled French troops from the country.

France Out Of Africa! PASAI Shows The Way

May 16, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Kenya’s president, William Ruto, long ago proved his bona fides as a puppet of the United States and its junior imperialist partners. In 2023, he sent Kenyan police, under the “Multinational Security Support Mission” to assist the U.S. in its occupation of Haiti. At the time, he referred to his actions as being “Pan-African,” even as he did the bidding of the imperialist powers and made a mockery of that term. Ruto’s loyalty was rewarded as Kenya was designated a Major Non-NATO Ally, an elaborate way of saying that he is a puppet, a stooge, a lapdog, for U.S. interests.

Comprador Repression In Kenya

May 13, 2026 Black Alliance for Peace. , , , ,
The Kenyan state has demonstrated a consistent and brutal willingness to deploy state terror against organized political dissent, targeting revolutionary leaders, working-class organizers, and anti-colonial voices with impunity. Past cases have laid bare the state’s methods: the violent abduction, torture, and illegal detention of Comrade Booker Ngesa Omole, Secretary General of the Communist Party Marxist Kenya, followed by the grotesque inversion of reality in which the victim of state torture was framed with fabricated assault charges.

The Democracy Of The Strongest Is Always The Best

May 1, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
On 15 October 1987, Thomas Sankara, the leader of Burkina Faso, was assassinated alongside twelve of his senior officials. At the time, which I remember well, there was great confusion as to who had carried out this unforgivable act. The assassins, too afraid to face Sankara, shot him from behind, hitting him multiple times before targeting those who were at the meeting with him. Shortly thereafter, one of Sankara’s associates, Blaise Compaoré, defended the coup by claiming that Sankara had endangered relations with France and Côte d’Ivoire, a close French ally.

Tech Giants Don’t Just Want Your Data; They Want Your City

April 26, 2026 Ali Fard, Next City. , , ,
The fall of 2017 was a watershed moment in the evolving relationship between urbanism and technology corporations. In September, Amazon announced a request for proposals for cities to bid to host its new North American headquarters, Amazon HQ2. In October, a new partnership was announced between Sidewalk Labs — an Alphabet/Google subsidiary — and Waterfront Toronto — a public organization charged with the administration of the redevelopment and revitalization of Toronto’s postindustrial waterfront — to develop an “innovation and development plan” for Quayside, a 12-acre site on the city’s waterfront. The partnership was called “Sidewalk Toronto.”

A Dialogue Across Civilisations, For Now

April 24, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
During some of the worst days of the illegal US-Israeli war on Iran, I was talking to friends who were in the civilian areas being bombed. Some of them are scholars, others poets and artists, some work in the government, others in institutions of different kinds. All of them, regardless of their views of the government, stood defiant. Not one person felt that their world was under threat. They remained steadfast, their courage emanating from an immense belief in the resilience of Iranian civilisation. Marxist and national liberation thought have had a very complex history with the concept of ‘civilisation’.

Reparations For Slavery: A Legitimate Struggle

April 23, 2026 Guillermo R. Barreto, People's Dispatch. , , ,
When one person hurts another, common sense dictates that the person should apologize and, preferably, make amends for the harm they may have caused. Apologize, make amends, and ensure it won’t happen again. These seem like basic rules of coexistence. Coexistence among people, but also among sectors of a society and among entire nations. History shows us that coexistence is not the norm. Colonialism and exploitation have been present, but the perpetrators of these crimes rarely acknowledge them. The colonization of what is now called the Americas (beginning in 1492) is an example.

Kenyan Left Mobilizes Against France-Africa Summit

April 22, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , ,
From May 11–12, 2026, Kenya is set to host the France–Africa Summit, officially branded the “Africa Forward Summit: Africa-France Partnerships for Innovation and Growth”. Jointly organized by the Kenyan and French governments, it is the first time such a high-level France–Africa summit is being held in a non-Francophone African country. Framed by its organizers as a platform to strengthen partnerships in business, technology, and sustainable development, the summit is expected to bring together African heads of state, government officials, corporate leaders, and representatives from civil society.

Dialectics, Iran And The Long Durée Of Anticolonial Revolution

April 9, 2026 Erica Caines, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Dialectical and historical materialism cannot be understated as critically important in understanding the “war on Iran”. The framework is indispensable for moving beyond the phenomena of geopolitics (sanctions, military posturing, diplomatic tensions) to grasp the essential phenomena: the structural contradictions of imperialism in its current, neocolonial phase. By examining the nation-state as an enclosure, the process of primitive accumulation, and the dialectic between the dictatorship of capital and the dictatorship of the proletariat, we can see the war on Iran not as a discrete conflict between nation-states, but as a critical battle in the ongoing class war that shapes the entire imperialist world-system.

Rania Khalek: Resistance And The Fight For The Global South

March 27, 2026 Scheer Post. , , ,
From the frontlines of media to the heart of geopolitical analysis, Rania Khalek brings clarity to the crises shaping our world. In these three must-watch videos, she exposes the realities of imperial aggression, regional resistance, and global economic upheaval. First, she confronts Piers Morgan with the powerful perspective of a Lebanese journalist facing the threat of Israeli expansion. Next, she sits down with Iranian scholar Mohammad Marandi to explore Tehran’s stance against U.S. pressure and the risks of escalation. Finally, she speaks with Marxist economist Prabhat Patnaik on how this conflict reverberates across the Global South, threatening economies, livelihoods, and the balance of power worldwide.

There Will Be No Free Arab-Persian Woman While The Western Colony Of ‘Israel’ Exists In The Levant

March 23, 2026 Susana Khalil, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
Al-Qaeda is ruling in Syria today. I speak from anger and disgust, I speak from indignation and pain. Western savagery wants to turn Arab woman into trash. Jeffrey Epstein governs in Syria today. There is partying in the anachronistic Eurocentric colony falsely called “Israel.” It is a humiliation for every Arab and Persian woman to see Al-Qaeda ruling in Syria. It should be a humiliation, an outrage to every woman and man in the world to see Al-Qaeda ruling in Syria. There will be no free Arab-Persian world, nor free, sovereign, and democratic Kurdish and Turkish world as long as the Eurocentric colonial anachronism falsely called “Israel” exists on our ethnically Arab-Persian soil.

How Iran War May Accelerate The Fall Of US Empire

March 5, 2026 Soumaya Ghannoushi, Middle East Eye. , , , , , ,
For more than two decades, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been circling a single horizon.  He has warned about it, lobbied for it, and dramatised it at podiums from Washington to the United Nations. Now it is here. The war he long argued was inevitable has arrived: a direct clash with Iran, carried not by Israel alone, but by the full military weight of the United States. This is neither a limited strike nor a calibrated show of force. It is the most dangerous and reckless confrontation of its kind; a war not born of American necessity, not compelled by imminent threat, not sanctioned by Congress or the United Nations, but driven by an Israeli vision of regional remaking.
