Dans cet article, Hamad Gamal, co-fondateur de Sudfa Media, interroge la mémoire de la révolution soudanaise et les questions laissées en suspens par cette révolution avortée face à la brutalité de la guerre contre-révolutionnaire. Il analyse l'héritage de ces mobilisations et examine les raisons de leur échec.
À l'occasion du septième anniversaire de la révolution de décembre 2018, la commémoration s'inscrit cette fois dans le contexte d'une guerre dévastatrice, qui a mis en péril les (…)

C'est avec une immense tristesse que j'ai appris la mort de Susana Rossberg. Elle était née en 1945 à Sao Paulo. Susana était la fille de Juifs d'Allemagne exilés au Brésil pour échapper aux persécutions nazies. Après avoir perdu son père à l'âge de trois ans, elle était devenue orpheline à l'âge de quinze ans. Après avoir passé quatre ans chez sa tante maternelle aux Etats-Unis, elle était retournée au Brésil. Elle avait pris part, très jeune, à la lutte contre la dictature militaire au (…)

Emmanuel Macron leads tributes to​ actor who became an international sex symbol ​and later embraced animal rights​ and far-right politics
Emmanuel Macron leads tributes to​ actor who became an international sex symbol ​and later embraced animal rights​ and far-right politics
Brigitte Bardot, the French actor and singer who became an international sex symbol before turning her back on the film industry and embracing the cause of animal rights activism and far-right politics, has died (…)

Brigitte Bardot's death, at the age of 91, brings to a close one of the most extraordinary careers in post-war French cultural life.
Best known as an actress, she was also a singer, a fashion icon, an animal rights activist and a symbol of France's sexual liberation.
Famous enough to be known by her initials, B.B. symbolised a certain vision of French femininity – rebellious and sensual, yet vulnerable.
Her impact on beauty standards and French national identity was profound. At her (…)

Laras Faizati Khairunnisa, ancienne employée de l'Assemblée interparlementaire de l'ASEAN (AIPA), qui risque une peine d'un an de prison pour avoir prétendument incité aux manifestations d'août, affirme qu'elle n'a commis aucun crime.
Elle a ensuite comparé la peine d'un an de prison requise par le procureur à celle des policiers qui ont écrasé et tué le chauffeur de moto-taxi Affan Kurniawan lors d'une manifestation près de la Chambre des représentants (DPR) en août, et qui n'ont toujours (…)

Former ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) employee Laras Faizati Khairunnisa, who is facing a one-year prison sentence for allegedly inciting the August protests, insists she has not committed a crime.
She then compared the one-year sentence demanded by the public prosecutor to the police officers who ran over and killed online motorcycle taxi driver Affan Kurniawan during a protest near the House of Representatives (DPR) in August who have still not yet been tried to this day. (…)

En France, la résistance ukrainienne à l'invasion russe est souvent appréhendée de manière (géo)politicienne. Faut-il armer Kiev et se faire suppôts de l'impérialisme de l'OTAN ou bien laisser les Ukrainiens se dépatouiller avec un Poutine qui tente maladroitement de ramener la paix et la prospérité dans la région ? Par-delà toute caricature, la guerre est traversée de contradictions qui apparaissent inextricables, autant à l'échelle de ceux qui nous gouvernent qu'à celle de ceux qui s'y (…)

In France, Ukrainian resistance to the Russian invasion is often approached in a (geo)political manner. Should we arm Kyiv and become supporters of NATO imperialism, or should we leave the Ukrainians to sort things out with a Putin who is clumsily trying to restore peace and prosperity to the region? Beyond any caricature, the war is traversed by contradictions that appear inextricable, both at the level of those who govern us and at the level of those who engage on the ground (or behind (…)

L'année 2025 s'achève, après avoir mis notre endurance à rude épreuve. Elle a démontré que le Mouvement social [Sotsialnyi Rukh – SR] est resté une organisation qui, dans les moments difficiles pour l'Ukraine, a défendu avec constance les intérêts des travailleurs, des anciens combattants et des personnes déplacées, tout en soutenant le personnel militaire. Nous n'avons pas simplement réagi aux défis de la guerre et de la crise économique, mais avons mis l'accent sur les possibilités d'une (…)

The year 2025 has come to a close, testing our endurance. It demonstrated that Sotsialnyi Rukh remained an organisation that, during difficult times for Ukraine, consistently defended the interests of workers, veterans and internally displaced persons (IDPs), whilst also supporting military personnel. We did not merely react to the challenges of war and economic crisis; we emphasised the possibility of an alternative path for Ukraine's development, where people, their safety, rights and (…)

Brigitte Bardot, who died on Sunday at her home in Saint-Tropez at the age of 91, was French cinema's first “superstar”, once regarded as an icon of women's liberation in conservative, pre-May 1968 France. Despite having an influence in the modernisation of French society, she would reject the feminist cause and took up that of animal rights after she left acting in 1973, and became close to the far-right in her later years. To better understand Bardot's chequered life, Mediapart turned to (…)

« Comment les travailleurs peuvent-ils surmonter leurs doutes quant à l'efficacité de l'action collective ? Le mouvement syndical peut-il convaincre et mobiliser les millions de travailleuses et travailleurs non organisé·e·s de se battre pour des revendications reconnues comme légitimes telles que l'augmentation des salaires et la création d'emplois stables ? La question reste posée au mouvement syndical. »
Vingt-trois tempêtes ont frappé le pays en 2025, dont le typhon Kalmaegi a été le (…)

Il est remarquable de voir à quel point les illusions peuvent être résilientes face à une réalité têtue. Des commentateurs ont, une fois encore, exprimé leur espoir que Trump allait faire pression sur le premier ministre israélien pour la mise en œuvre de son « plan de paix ».
Il est remarquable de voir à quel point les illusions peuvent être résilientes face à une réalité têtue. La rencontre de lundi dernier entre Donald Trump et Benjamin Netanyahou –leur sixième rencontre au cours de (…)

It is remarkable how resilient illusions can be in the face of unyielding reality. Once again commentators have voiced hopes that Trump would apply pressure on the Israeli prime minister to move forward in implementing his “peace plan.”
It is truly remarkable how resilient illusions can be in the face of unyielding reality. Last Monday's meeting between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu—marking their sixth encounter in the past year alone, the first year of Trump's second term—once again (…)

Men with the lowest standard of living in France have an average life expectancy of 72 years, compared with 85 years for those in the wealthiest category, while women in the lowest income group have an average life expectancy of 80.1 years, compared with 88.7 years for the most wealthy. Those stark differences are detailed in a study published this week by France's National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies, which found not only that the gap between the poor and the rich has (…)

Pour 40 % de la population française, l'écart d'espérance de vie avec les 5 % les plus riches s'est creusé au cours des douze dernières années. C'est le produit de politiques publiques qui refusent de prendre en compte le lien entre inégalités de revenus et inégalités d'espérance de vie.
Alors que les débats sur le budget de la Sécurité sociale ont été particulièrement animés cette année et que le budget, lui, n'est pas encore voté, une étude de l'Insee vient jeter un pavé dans la mare. (…)

Close your eyes and feel yourself transported to mythical “Franglia,” where liberal values have triumphed over tradition, and human rights now reign. Gender identity is fluid, and refugees from the Muslim world are welcome. You know — a nightmare. That's the dystopic setting for a new Kremlin-funded film that failed spectacularly at Russia's box office this summer. In the three weeks it screened in theatres, Andrey Grachev's Tolerance grossed roughly $1,315 (approximately €1,200) on a budget (…)

Fifteen years ago, Britain's streets were the scene of a mass youth revolt. Hundreds of thousands of students marched, blocked roads, and faced heavy police repression. Forty-six campuses were occupied. Conservative Party headquarters was trashed. Until the autumn of 2010, the widespread trope amongst the commentariat was that young people were apathetic, the children of a post-political age.
In one sense, the movement was a direct response to the new Coalition government's policy to (…)

As Zelensky flies to Mar-a-Lago, MAGA and Britain's far left simultaneously designate Europe the aggressor. What's going on?
The background music to the Trump-Zelensky meeting at Mar-a-Lago was ominous: two nights ago Russia carried out a mega-strike, hitting civilian homes and energy plants, leaving one third of Kyiv without power.
And Russia has hit civilian ships in the port of Odesa and tried to cut off road access to south-west Ukraine from Romania through strikes on transport (…)

On Tuesday 23 December, the Yayasan Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Indonesia (YLBHI, Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation) management launched its Year-End Report, based on a snapshot of case handling by 16regional offices and two projects in 18 provinces.
Over the past year, 3,035 cases were handled covering 131,199 beneficiaries. Direct advocacy was provided in 508 cases and legal consultations were provided in 2,505 cases. The report covered three categories of rights violations in the civil and (…)

Between Supreme Court decisions, Congressional manoeuvres and indigenous mobilisation, 2025 has laid bare the political and economic dispute behind attempts to limit original rights guaranteed by the Constitution.
Throughout 2025, the debate over the Marco Temporal for indigenous lands returned to the centre of Brazil's political and legal stage, revealing an open conflict between the National Congress—under pressure from agribusiness interests—and the Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), which (…)

The approval of the 'Devastation Bill' authorised the dismantling of environmental licensing and exposed (once again) the convergence between agribusiness, mining, fossil capital and the National Congress.
The year 2025 will be recorded as the moment when the National Congress decided to push through to its final consequences the passage of Bill 2.159/2021, renamed by environmentalists, scientists and social movements as the Devastation Bill (PL da Devastação). Originally introduced in (…)

For more than 25 years, the “Other Davos” has been creating a counter-power to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. This year's conference focuses on our anti-militarist responses to the escalation of imperialist tensions and wars, as well as on internationalist solidarity with Palestine.
After 40 years of neoliberal economic doctrine, we are going through an increase in social injustices, an impoverishment of an ever-increasing part of the population and a crisis of bourgeois liberal (…)

The congress will bring together 5 delegates of each 34 member organisations of PKRC to Lahore. It will elect its new leadership and office bearers.
The Congress is being held at a moment of intensifying political, economic, agrarian, and ecological (…)

Portugal's minority right-wing conservative government (Democratic Alliance) planned to survive thanks to the parliamentary support, alternately, of the Socialists (PS) or the far right. It succeeded in getting the general state budget for 2026 adopted thanks to the abstention of the PS and then intended to pass a set of new employment laws with the complicity of Chega (far right). However, the general strike of 11 December has plunged this project into uncertainty.
A violent attack on (…)

Le gouvernement minoritaire de droite conservatrice (Alliance démocratique) prévoyait de survivre grâce au soutien parlementaire, alternativement, des socialistes ou de l'extrême droite. Il a réussi à faire adopter le budget général de l'État pour 2026 grâce à l'abstention du PS et entendait désormais faire passer un ensemble de nouvelles lois sur le travail avec la complicité de Chega (extrême droite). Cependant, la grève générale du 11 décembre a plongé ce projet dans l'incertitude.

“How can workers surmount their doubts about the efficacy of collective action? Can labor groups inspire and mobilize the millions of unorganized workers to fight for popular demands like a wage hike and regular jobs? This remains the question for the labor movement.”
Twenty three storms hit the country in 2025, of which Typhoon Kalmaegi was the most damaging in terms of loss of lives. Millions were affected by the heavy flooding in many areas due to the frequent typhoons and rains. This (…)

La liberté d'expression est en recul et Israël ressemble de plus en plus à une dictature grotesque. Le cas de Yael Levkovitz est un signe d'avertissement.

Brigitte Bardot est décédée à l'âge de 91 ans. Émilie Giaime, maîtresse de conférences en histoire, explique pourquoi la superstar a incarné un modèle de « femme puissante » dans la France corsetée des Trente Glorieuses. Avant de voir son image écornée par son soutien à l'extrême droite et ses déclarations racistes.
Une femme mythique est morte dimanche 28 décembre. Brigitte Bardot, première superstar du cinéma français, présentée comme une icône de la liberté des femmes dans la France (…)

The Communist Party of Bangladesh (Marxist–Leninist), commonly known as CPBML, is an important component of the left-wing political tradition in Bangladesh. The party emerged from the post-independence political reality, particularly in the context of ideological and strategic divisions within the communist movement during the 1970s. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, many left-wing activists realized that although political independence had been achieved, economic and social (…)

This International Human Rights Day, we, Women's Peace Network (WPN) raise alarm at the deteriorating situation of human rights across the world, reexpress our solidarity with all victims and survivors of human rights violations, and call for urgent actions for their justice.
In Myanmar, a human rights catastrophe continues to rapidly deteriorate. The Burmese military is intensifying its air strikes and ground attacks against civilians and civilian objects, including homes, schools, (…)
