Ces dernières semaines ont été marquées par une escalade meurtrière de la répression au Jammu-et-Cachemire sous administration pakistanaise. En juin et juillet, les forces armées pakistanaises ont tué au moins 90 personnes. Rien qu'entre le 28 et le 30 juillet, au moins 35 personnes ont été tuées dans la ville de Rawalakot. Cet épisode fait suite à un massacre survenu début juin, lorsque les forces de sécurité ont ouvert le feu sur un sit-in, tuant au moins dix personnes à Rawalakot. (…)

Only between July 28 to July 30, at least 35 were killed in the city of Rawalakot.

Nous publions ici un texte de Monica Baltodano, commandante guérillera de la révolution sandiniste (1979), aujourd'hui exilée et déchue de sa nationalité par la dictature du couple Ortega-Murillo. Le texte original a été publié deux jours avant le 47e anniversaire de la Révolution sandiniste, à l'occasion duquel, Daniel Ortega a annoncé « qu'il n'y aurait plus d'élections au Nicaragua ».[[Daniel Ortega : “Aquí no volverá a haber elecciones” (Daniel Ortega : ici, il n'y aura plus d'élections) (…)

​We—the undersigned international, regional, and national peace, human rights, feminist, trade union, peasant, and social movements across Asia and globally—express our profound outrage at the arbitrary arrests and continued state harassment of veteran peasant leader Comrade Farooq Tariq (Federal Committee Member, Pakistan Kissan Rabita Committee - PKRC) and dozens of peaceful human rights, student, and political defenders in Lahore, Pakistan, on July 31, 2026. We acknowledge that Comrade (…)

We strongly condemn the arbitrary arrest and harassment of Comrade Farooq Tariq and dozens of other peaceful protesters outside the Lahore Press Club during a solidarity demonstration with the people of Kashmir. The detention of individuals exercising their fundamental rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression is unacceptable. Although Comrade Farooq Tariq and the other detainees have reportedly been released, their release on the condition that the demonstration would not (…)

The campaign period for the historical first Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Regional Parliamentary Elections scheduled for September 14, 2026, is officially underway. Following multiple election postponements, these polls represent a monumental step toward establishing a genuine democratic mandate for the region's leadership. However, even prior to the formal start of the campaign, our communities have witnessed escalating tensions, a heavy deployment of (…)

The Pakistan Kissan Rabita Committee (PKRC) strongly condemns the arbitrary arrest of our Federal Committee member, Comrade Farooq Tariq who was detained today in front of the Lahore Press Club while participating in a peaceful solidarity protest with the people of Kashmir. Punjab Police violently dispersed the peaceful gathering, dragging and harassing protesters before forcing them into police vans. Among those arrested are members of Haqooq-e-Khalq Party, Khalq Youth Front & (…)

The people of Pakistan-administered Jammu Kashmir are facing one of the bloodiest episodes of state repression in recent history. A mass movement built around economic and democratic demands has been met with curfews, communication blackouts, live ammunition, and collective punishment. The administration in PaJK has once again exposed itself as a puppet of the Pakistani state, implementing policies dictated from Islamabad rather than responding to the democratic aspirations of the people.

Après six années d'organisation de base, une Initiative Législative Populaire, plus de 700 000 signatures et un blocage parlementaire répété, l'Espagne a ouvert en janvier 2026 un processus extraordinaire de régularisation administrative des personnes migrantes. Jusqu'à 500 000 personnes pourraient en bénéficier. Vicky Columba, porte-parole de Regularización.Ya, retrace ce parcours depuis les origines de la plateforme pendant les confinements liés à la pandémie jusqu'à l'approbation du (…)

After six years of grassroots organising, a Popular Legislative Initiative, more than 700,000 signatures and repeated parliamentary blockage, Spain opened an extraordinary administrative regularisation process for migrants in January 2026. Up to 500,000 people may benefit. Vicky Columba, spokesperson for Regularización.Ya, traces that trajectory from the platform's origins during the pandemic lockdowns through to the approval, and sets out what distinguishes this process from Spain's nine (…)

Rédigé la semaine suivant le remaniement gouvernemental ukrainien de juillet 2026, ce court texte soutient que l'attention portée à la personne qui dirigera le ministère de la Défense masque une question plus profonde : pour quel type d'État les Ukrainiens se battent-ils ? Vitaliy Dudin oppose l'empressement de la jeunesse ukrainienne à se mobiliser autour des changements de personnel à sa réticence à s'organiser face à la hausse des tarifs, à la stagnation des salaires et à l'effondrement (…)

Written the week after Ukraine's July 2026 cabinet reshuffle, this short piece argues that public attention to who runs the Ministry of Defence obscures a deeper question: for what kind of state are Ukrainians fighting? Vitaliy Dudin contrasts the readiness of young Ukrainians to mobilise around personnel changes with a reluctance to organise around tariff rises, wage stagnation and the collapse of independent trade unions. He warns against personality politics and calls instead for (…)

The President's [Bongbong Marcos - PBBM] address contained many technical reports, but it failed to meaningfully address the pressing concerns of workers, such as wages, wage reform, jobs, and other labor issues—even as President Marcos acknowledged that workers and the middle class should not be forgotten. [SONA : State of the Nation adress of the President.] The proposed expansion of tax exemptions may benefit above-minimum wage earners, but it provides no relief to minimum wage (…)

France was this week hit by a fourth heatwave in the space of less than two months, with temperatures hitting 40°C on Thursday in some parts and further outbreaks of wildfires. Is this extraordinary summer the new norm, or even just a taste of what is to come? For an answer, Mediapart turned to climatologist Robert Vautard, a member of France's National Centre for Scientific Research and who is co-chair of Working Group 1 of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a (…)

L'Ukraine vend à l'Asie de l'Est la seule chose qu'on ne peut pas fabriquer en temps de paix : l'expérience de la guerre. Mais tout passe encore par Shenzhen. Le soutien chinois à l'effort de guerre russe a provoqué en Asie de l'Est un contrecoup que Pékin n'avait pas prévu. Les composants et les biens à double usage provenant de Chine ont permis à Moscou de poursuivre sa guerre pendant plus de quatre ans. Cette durée a transformé l'Ukraine en quelque chose qui n'existait pas en 2022, à (…)

L'Hexagone est entré dans un quatrième épisode caniculaire, inscrivant définitivement l'été 2026 comme celui de tous les records. Une situation qui illustre l'ampleur du changement climatique en Europe occidentale, selon le vice-président du groupe 1 du Giec, Robert Vautard. Nouvelle journée aux températures caniculaires mercredi 29 juillet, avec des pointes à 40 et 42 °C dans le Sud-Ouest et la région lyonnaise. Pour Météo-France, l'Hexagone et la Corse sont entrés dans « le quatrième (…)

As the wildfires in south-west France and their dire consequences dominate headlines in the country, president Macron and his government have been highly present in the media over the past fortnight, communicating on the subject. But, writes Mediapart environment correspondent Jade Lindgaard in this op-ed article, the statements and declarations appear as if they are the product of an algorithm stuck on a monomaniacal programme of cracking down on arsonists, to the exclusion of a vision, or (…)

Face aux feux extrêmes qui dévorent le Sud-Ouest, le gouvernement communique beaucoup. Mais l'algorithme de ses discours est bloqué sur une programmation monomaniaque : le sécuritaire. Pas de vision, pas d'horizon d'action, et surtout, surtout… pas de climat. Dimanche 26 juillet, le premier ministre d'un pays ravagé par des incendies d'une magnitude catastrophique s'adresse aux médias : les dégâts économiques et émotionnels causés par les feux requièrent une réponse politique « à la (…)

India's “Cockroach” youth movement has now forced the resignation of the country's education minister. What began as a single-issue protest mobilization has broadened into one of the biggest challenges Narendra Modi has faced in power. The student protests in India trace their origins to a satirical social media page created in response to a disparaging remark from the chief justice of India, who likened youth activists to “cockroaches.” (Arun Sankar / AFP via Getty Images) The student (…)

Peut-on tromper tout le monde tout le temps ? Un pays comptant un milliard et demi d'habitants peut-il être traîné comme un cadavre pour l'éternité ? Non, c'est impossible. Les cafards sont de sortie. Pour la première fois depuis des années, c'est merveilleux d'être Indien. Juste au moment où l'espoir semblait perdu, ils sont arrivés. De jeunes cafards, portés par la pluie. La progéniture de l'union impie entre un juge et une plaisanterie. [Le gouvernement indien de Modi a accepté la (…)

Can all the people be fooled all the time ? Can a country with a population of a billion-and-a-half be dragged around like a corpse forever ? It cannot. The Cockroaches are out and about. Security personnel detain a protestor during a march towards Parliament on July 20. Photo : PTI. For the first time in years, it feels wonderful to be Indian. Just when hope seemed lost, they came. Young roaches riding in on the rain. The progeny of the unholy union between a judge and a joke. We all (…)
