French Climate Lawsuit Offers Window Into Next Round Of Global Legal Fight

July 30, 2026 Aminta Ossom, Resilience. Strategize! Big Oil and Gas, climate crisis, France, Legal System

A recent decision by a French court requires a major European oil and gas company to report not only its own climate-warming emissions and those of its contractors but also those of its customers, who burn the oil and petroleum products the company sells. The court’s ruling against TotalEnergies, under a French law passed in 2017, expands a growing front in the global legal fight against climate change. That movement seeks court rulings to hold corporations liable for their emissions and the resulting warming of Earth’s atmosphere.

Wildfires In Europe Are Spreading And Intensifying

July 29, 2026 Ana Vracar, BreakThrough News. Educate! Austerity, France, Neoliberalism, Spain, Wildfires

Firefighters in France and Spain are working hard to contain devastating wildfires ahead of another heatwave expected to hit parts of Europe starting Tuesday, July 28. Tens of thousands of hectares of land have been scorched, and over 200,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in France alone. Blazes are also ongoing in Italy, and the seasonal prognosis for the entire northern Mediterranean coast remains alarming. Europe has faced increasingly difficult wildfire seasons, exacerbated by climate change and austerity measures.

Commoning, Thresholding, And The Concrete Fantasy: Lessons From France

July 15, 2026 Ida Susser, Scheer Post. Create! Constructive Program, France, The Commons, Yellow Vest

Over a decade ago two innovative movements mobilized in France to take on the neoliberal assaults on the commons and the public good. The Nuit Debout was an Occupy movement that began in Paris in 2016. It was followed by the Yellow Vests, an extraordinary formation that rushed into Paris from the provinces starting in 2018. Triggered by a rise in fuel taxes, the Yellow Vests rapidly articulated broader grievances over inequality, territorial neglect, and the erosion of public services. They demanded affordable transport, pensions, hospitals, and schools.

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

June 11, 2026 Francis Phillip, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Alliance of Sahel States (AES), colonization, France, Nigeria, Sovereignty

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. Strategize! colonization, France, Mali, Terrorism

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. Organize! colonization, France, Kenya, Racism

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. Resist! Anti-Imperialism, colonization, France, Kenya, State Repression

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.

Mali Still Stands: A Sahelian Coup D’état That Almost Was

May 7, 2026 Jeremy Miller, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Coup Attempt, France, Mali, Regime Change

In the early morning hours of April 25, 2026, a very sophisticated and coordinated attack was made against the Republic of Mali. Armed groups simultaneously struck in Kidal and Gao to the north-east, Mopti and Sévaré in the center of the country, and critically, Bamako, and Kati in the center-west of the country. Bamako is the national capital and Kati is a garrison town 9 miles north-west of Bamako, the largest town of the Koulikoro region. These were not random targets. Reportedly The 1st Military Region and 13th Combined Arms Regiment are based in Gao; the 3rd Military Region is based in Kati; and the 6th Military Region is based in Sévaré.

April 27, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Educate! France, Mali, Sahel region, Terrorism

Mali faced a wave of coordinated terrorist attacks on Saturday morning, as armed groups launched near-simultaneous assaults on multiple cities, including the capital, Bamako. The attacks, which targeted military installations and strategic points, represent a major escalation of violence in the country in recent months. Reports from multiple sources indicated heavy gunfire and explosions near military bases and barracks, prompting Malian security forces to respond swiftly. Similar incidents were recorded in other parts of the country, suggesting a well-planned and coordinated operation by militant groups.

Kenyan Left Mobilizes Against France-Africa Summit

April 22, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Resist! colonization, France, Kenya, People's Summit

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.

The Ag Coop That Shares More Than Machinery

April 3, 2026 Pauline Petit, Resilience. Create! Cooperative, Farming, Food and Agriculture, France

What if, instead of going into debt to invest in their farms, farmers came together to pool equipment? What if, instead of struggling to run a small farm alone, there was extra help at hand? What if new entrants could draw on the experience of more established farmers in their local area? It may sound too good to be true, but this is the reality with France’s network of Agricultural Machinery Cooperatives (CUMA). With more than 10,000 local branches all over France, the CUMA is a space for farmers of all stripes to come together in a neighbourly spirit of mutual aid and solidarity.

France’s Communists Hold Back the Far Right, For Now

March 28, 2026 Phineas Rueckert, Portside. Strategize! Communist Party, Elections, Far Right Politics, France, Public Services

The setting of Émile Zola’s 1885 novel, Germinal, is nothing if not bleak. In the northern French mining settlement where the book takes place, the roads were “black like mourning trim,” the village “dead . . . draped in its shroud.” “The wide streets, divided into small terraced gardens, remained deserted between four large uniform buildings,” Zola writes. It’s a kind of social realism that has long shaped the collective idea of what the old industrial north is like. Visiting Méricourt, one of the many former mining villages that dot northern France, that image feels far from present reality.

Positive Action: Education Superheroes Climate Fresk

February 26, 2026 Extinction Rebellion, Popular Resistance. Organize! climate crisis, Education, France, Green Transition

Born in France in 2018, the Climate Fresk movement has now educated over 2.3 million people in 168 countries across the world. At its heart, it’s a collaborative workshop that gets participants thinking about the causes and effects of climate change. But for many, it’s a turning point in their lives, motivating them to set up new green initiatives in their schools, workplaces and beyond. Like Extinction Rebellion, Climate Fresk adopted its organisational model from Sweden’s Pirate Party, first codified in Rick Falkvinge’s 2013 handbook Swarmwise. He described the “swarm” structure: a light central scaffold that empowers people with shared tools, enabling an autonomous movement that scales quickly through decentralisation and initiative.

Tensions Escalate Between Niger And Its Former Colonizer France

February 18, 2026 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. Educate! colonization, France, Military attack, Niger

Tensions between Niger and France have continued to escalate following the recent attack on Diori Hamani International Airport and Air Base in Niamey, an incident Niger authorities say is part of a broader destabilization campaign allegedly linked to France. Relations between the two countries have been at an alltime low following the removal of French military forces from Niger and the formation of the Alliance of Sahel States in 2023. The Nigerien authorities have consistently maintained that France bears responsibility for the airport attack, which occurred several weeks ago and heightened already strained diplomatic and security relations between the two countries.

New Poll: Washington Viewed As ‘Unreliable Ally’ By Western Partners

February 12, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Denmark, Donald Trump, Europe, France, Greenland, NATO, Tariffs

A new poll shows that the US is losing credibility among its traditional western partners, who are beginning to view Washington as an “unreliable ally,” POLITICO reported on 12 February. Among Canadians, French, and Germans, “Far more people described the U.S. as an unreliable ally than a reliable one,” the US-based news outlet wrote, citing a poll conducted by London-based Public First. “American credibility was highest in the U.K., but only by comparison,” POLITICO added. Only 35 percent of respondents in the UK said the US was a reliable ally, while 39 percent said it was unreliable.
