caught up in anti-migrant violence in the city the week before.

Al Jazeera (Doha)

The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is
observed on November 29 to mark the anniversary of Resolution 181,
when the UN General Assembly in 1947 adopted a resolution to partition
Palestine into two states. This year, protests were held in Manila,
Tunis, Tehran, Karachi, Beirut, Harare, Tokyo, Stockholm, London,
Johannesburg, Quezon City, Milan and elsewhere.

LA VIA CAMPESINA ON THE GLOBAL POLITICAL CONTEXT

La Via Campesina (Bagnolet, France)

Solidarity liberates. It is a liberatory tool. And LVC is a space of
liberation. Decolonization is not a metaphor. We will not be liberated
by saying please, by being the perfect victim. We will be liberated by
standing in solidarity with the peoples of the world, through
dismantling settler colonialism. And how do we do this? We continue
bringing the pressure. We feel it from Palestine. It is working.

VENEZUELA: POLITICS OF THE COMMONS

_Reinaldo Iturriza López_ / Venezuelanalysis (Caracas)

The most important political phenomenon in Venezuela these days is
swept under the rug: political disaffiliation. The immediate
political effect of all this is the over-representation of this same
political class and the under-representation of the vast majority of
the disaffiliated popular masses.

IRAN: STATE OF THE WOMEN’S MOVEMENT

_Mona Tajali_ / The Conversation (Waltham MA)

While the latest wave of street protests dwindled by the first few
months of 2023, nonviolent protests for freedom, democracy and
equality have a long history in Iran and continue today. Research
shows that even when women are not demonstrating en masse in the
streets, they consistently fight against gender discrimination, often
at their own peril.

The Philippine government and the country’s communist insurgents
have agreed to restart peace negotiations after a six-year hiatus,
with the goal of finally bringing their decades-long conflict to an
end. High-ranking delegations from Manila and the communist National
Democratic Front of the Philippines agreed to a “common vision for
peace,” Norway’s Foreign Ministry announced.

ZIMBABWE’S THIRD GENERATION FEMINISTS
[[link removed]]

_Chido Nyaruwata_ / African Arguments (London)

The Zimbabwe women’s rights movement is built on coalitions between
different women’s groups and activists.The younger generation of
activists encourage cross-agenda activism with strong collaborations
between young women’s rights activists. Young feminists within
established women’s rights organisations may advocate for
partnerships with outside women activists to address
funding challenges .Mya

_Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury_ / The Economic Times (Mumbai)

In a rare rally in Myanmar since a sweeping crackdown on dissent,
dozens of nationalist protesters gathered outside the Chinese Embassy
in the main city of Yangon with banners and posters critical of
Beijing. "We request China government don't support northern terrorist
groups," read one of their posters, in English.

PANAMA’S ENVIRONMENTALIST AWAKENING

_Francisco Javier Bonilla_ / NACLA Report (New York)

The Canadian-owned mine at the center of a national uprising will be
shut down. But differing environmentalisms in the isthmus may now be
on a collision course against one another.

_Jule Goikoetxea_ / Jacobin (New York)

On Thursday, trade unions and women’s movements across Spain’s
Basque Country held an explicitly feminist general strike. Workers are
striking for a public community care system — one that ensures care
work is well-paid and properly supported.
