37 refugees dead, hundreds injured in Spanish-Moroccan police massacre at Melilla border

Alejandro López (Excerpts from an article taken from the WSWS website, with thanks) 26 June 2022 Spain’s Socialist Party (PSOE)-Podemos government, working with Moroccan police acting as the European Union’s border guards, have carried out a barbaric massacre at the borders of the Spanish enclave of Melilla in Africa. At least 37 migrants were killed and 150 more were injured when thousands tried to cross the Moroccan border into Melilla on Friday. According to the UNHCR, many came from Chad, Niger, Sudan and South Sudan, and would be considered potential asylum seekers according to international law. The precise cause of the deaths remains unclear. Some migrants may have died from suffocation or crushing because of a stampede provoked by Moroccan police charges. Other ...

Yemen

Truce in Yemen

Regular readers of Lalkar will be more than aware of the long and inhuman suffering that has been brought down on the people of Yemen since March 2015 when a Saudi-led coalition of imperialism’s puppets launched a merciless ongoing attack to reinstate the regime of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi which had been ousted by the Yemeni people. Hadi still claimed the title of president in exile until very recently when the Saudis, looking perhaps for an exit strategy, told him to stand down. The people of Yemen, under the leadership of the popular Ansarullah resistance movement, despite horrifically high losses, have not only hit back at the Saudis and their immediate allies in Yemen but have take the liberation war to the streets of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. On 2 April, 2...

Colombia

Colombians say enough is enough

It’s perhaps premature to talk of a ‘new dawn’ for socialism in Latin America – the continent has seen them before, but in Colombia the people have spoken, electing a left-wing government for the first time in the country’s history. On 20th June, Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M-19 guerrilla group, and mayor of Bogotá from 2012 to 2015, was declared president-elect after his ‘Historic Pact’ coalition – a progressive alliance of groupings ranging from the social democratic ‘Polo Democrático’ to the Communist Party – scored a narrow but decisive victory in the election run-off over a brash right-wing businessman branded as ‘the Colombian Trump’, Rodolfo Hernández. Petro’s vice-presidential running-mate, social and environmental activist Francia Márquez, is the first A...

Victory to the striking rail workers! Defend the right to strike!

Victory to the striking rail workers! Defend the right to strike!

The 40,000+ striking rail workers are setting an admirable example to the rest of the labour movement. To have successfully balloted workers from across thirteen different train operating companies as well as from Network Rail itself, securing an 89 percent Yes vote on a 71 percent turnout, is an inspiring achievement. By privatising the rail industry and breaking operations into separate franchises, rail bosses hoped that, combined with legislation banning sympathy strikes, the power of trades unions to organise across the industry would be fatally weakened. But the striking rail workers are right now busy proving that, given the right leadership, organised workers can overturn all the barriers which capitalism puts up to keep them divided. We denounce Network Rail’s plan to cu...

As Russia completes its operation in Ukraine, the fall out for the West is just beginning

As the steady advance of the Russian army into the Donbass makes it clear even to the New York Times that the outcome of the war is now beyond all doubt, the political fall-out from the defeat of NATO aggression suddenly looms large, testing just how much of a stomach individual countries within Europe really do have for making further open-ended sacrifices of their own national interests on the altar of America’s failing proxy war against Russia. Zelensky himself acknowledged the crucial juncture that the conflict had entered, declaring that “in many ways, the fate of our Donbass is being decided” around Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk. Since he spoke these words, Sievierodonetsk has been surrendered by the Ukrainian forces and, as the NYT correctly foresaw,&nbs...

Ukraine struggles to find money to pay troops

With Western financial help apparently slow to arrive, Ukraine has been forced to print money to pay its troops in the fight against Russia. By Russia Today With Western financial help apparently slow to arrive, Ukraine has been forced to print money to pay its troops in the fight against Russia, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergey Marchenko told the US outlet that it’s “a constant headache” for him to keep balancing the cost of the conflict and the lower tax revenues in an economy battered by almost half a year of fighting. With around 60% of the budget being spent on the fighting, the minister said he has had to cut all unnecessary expenditures. But it’s still not enough, as tax revenues only cover 40% of government spending...

New research finds CIA used black Americans as drugs experiment guinea pigs

For decades, the CIA conducted highly unethical experiments on humans in order to perfect brainwashing, mind control and torture techniques. By Kit Klarenberg By now, many will be familiar with Project MKULTRA. For decades, the CIA conducted highly unethical experiments on humans in order to perfect brainwashing, mind control and torture techniques. Perhaps the program’s most notorious aspect was the administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs to targets, particularly LSD. These substances were brought to Langley’s attention in 1948 by Richard Kuhn, one of 1,600 Nazi scientists covertly spirited to the U.S. via Operation Paperclip following World War II. When MKULTRA was formally established five years later, some individuals consulted directly on the project...

Most of the “fact-checking” organizations Facebook uses in Ukraine are directly funded by Washington

Perhaps the most well-known and notorious of the nine groups is Stop Fake. By Alan MacLeod Most of the fact-checking organizations Facebook has partnered with to monitor and regulate information about Ukraine are directly funded by the U.S. government, either through the U.S. Embassy or via the notorious National Endowment for Democracy (NED). In light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, an information war as bitter as the ground fighting has erupted, and Meta (Facebook’s official name) announced it had partnered with nine organizations to help it sort fact from fiction for Ukrainian, Russian and other Eastern European users. These nine organizations are: StopFake, VoxCheck, Fact Check Georgia, Demagog, Myth Detector, Lead Stories, Patikrinta 15min, Re:Baltica and...

Operation al-Quds Sword strikes terror into the heart of ‘Israel’

Operation al-Quds Sword strikes terror into the heart of Israel After bombarding Gaza for 11 days, Israel has achieved only the emboldening and greater unity of Palestinian resistance. Lalkar writers Despite the overwhelming superiority of Israel’s machinery of death, the homemade rockets of the resistance have made it clear that it is the Palestinian forces that now have the upper hand. The Palestinian resistance struggle which for eleven days in May endured and faced down the bombardment of Gaza, dubbed by the resistance ‘Operation al-Quds Sword’, in some respects followed a familiar pattern. Once again, zionism, armed to the teeth by America and Britain, launched murderous air strikes against the two million Palestinians inhabiting the Gaza strip...

Nasrallah: Gaza’s victory paves the way for the total liberation of Palestine

Lebanese resistance leader shows how the Palestinians won in Gaza and what that victory signifies for the middle east. Hassan Nasrallah Sayed Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah explains the huge significance of Gaza’s victory in the recent 11-day war with the zionist state. The renewed vigour and unity not only of Palestine’s resistance forces but of its people generally and of the wider middle-eastern axis of resistance is striking fear into the hearts of the Israelis and their imperialist backers. Their days of domination are indeed numbered. The following is an edited transcript of a speech by Hezbollah secretary general Sayed Hassan Nasrallah on 25 May 2021, on the occasion of the 21st anniversary of the Liberation of Lebanon. ***** Congratulations to the people of Pale...
