‘I’ve embarked on this special path for a reason’: How the son of a wealthy Indian family decided to become a Pakistani communist

For Hassan Nasir, a Pakistan without Islamic egalitarianism or leftist ideals would make the new nation nothing but a bulwark for imperialists against the Soviets “I went to India, but after my exile I came back. My family’s lands and riches could not keep me there. Neither could the party, my family had spoken to them that I should work there. Why did I not stay there? Not because I do not like India, after all I was born there and I was raised on what is produced from its soil, how can I hate such a place? But that is not where my struggle is, the laborers I have lived with, learnt from and taught socialism to, they are here, in Karachi. Not in India. Which is why I came back, because I will stay here, so will you. Our grave will be made in this land.” - Hassan Nasir, as ...

Morocco wants to safeguard economy with BRICS membership, analyst tells RT

The Western world has marginalized many third-world countries, says Amine Ayoub © AFP / Fadel Senna Morocco’s bid to join BRICS is driven by the desire to protect its economy amid the neglect of many third-world nations by Western powers, particularly the US, economic and policy analyst Amine Ayoub has said.  In an interview with RT on Thursday, Ayoub explained that Rabat is actively seeking new partners due to shifts in priorities by its former Western economic allies, which retracted investments in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.  Morocco is the latest country to formally apply to become a member of BRICS, which is made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.   South Africa’s ambassador-at-large to BRICS and Asia, Anil Sooklal...

Data theft began in earnest after Moscow restricted Western social media, the head of Roskomnadzor has said ©  Jakub Porzycki / NurPhoto via Getty Images Blocking Silicon Valley-owned social media platforms from harvesting Russian users' data has triggered a sudden spike in overt hacking attacks and identity theft by outside actors, head of regulator Roskomnadzor, Andrey Lipov claimed on Thursday. “Personal information theft has skyrocketed since we blocked social networks owned by Americans,” Lipov said during a roundtable on digital security at the ‘Army-2023’ forum in Moscow. “You can see it clearly. It is quite easy to explain, because as soon as we blocked them, we deprived Americans of the ability to do behavioral analysis of our citizens.”...
