This tragic killing represents tragic loss of a young life and highlights the deadly consequences of misogyny and male entitlement that plague our society. No woman should live in fear for rejecting unwanted advances. Sana's murder is a dark reminder that we must urgently address the culture of violence against women and the toxic belief that men are entitled to women's attention or affection. We know that for every case like Sana's that makes headlines, there are countless instances of (…)

L'instabilité politique, l'insécurité aiguë, l'inflation rampante, le déficit budgétaire croissant et la dette extérieure insoutenable ont poussé le pays au bord du gouffre. Dans ce contexte troublé, la crise alimentaire de 2022 a exacerbé la situation nutritionnelle déjà (…)

“Pakistan is battered by a cascade of crises—from the economic shocks of the COVID-19 lockdowns to the catastrophic 2022 floods that hit a third of the country. Political instability, acute insecurity, rampant inflation, widening fiscal deficit and unsustainable external debt, have all pushed the nation to the brink. Amid this turmoil, the 2022 food crisis exacerbated Pakistan's already dire nutrition situation. Capitalising on this vulnerability, the Pakistani government has increasingly (…)

It was only a matter of time. The European Commission has now given its official backing to lithium extraction at Serbia's Jadar mine, despite widespread local and national protests against the prioritisation of economic interests—those of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and the European Union—over the will of the Serbian people. On 4 June, the project led by multinational mining giant Rio Tinto through its subsidiary Rio Sava Exploration doo was included in the list of 13 strategic (…)

Along with the criminal code amendment, the Czech Chamber of Deputies also approved the de facto criminalisation of the communist movement and its propagation. How the law would be applied in practice, should it pass through the Senate and the president, remains unclear. What is certain, however, is that if the governing coalition hoped this modification would manifest their own determination to defend democracy, it has completely backfired. Anti-communism is usually popular in Czechia, but (…)

Twenty-seven years after the fall of Suharto, the Indonesian Poor People's Union (SPRI) argues that democratic promises have been hijacked by oligarchs and capital owners who continue to dominate through co-opted political parties and state institutions. In this translated manifesto from a May 2025 public discussion, SPRI activists make an urgent case for building a new political party “born from the womb of the people's struggle” rather than elite boardrooms. The document critiques (…)

Indonesia's May Day 2025 celebration at Jakarta's National Monument became a stage for class betrayal rather than worker solidarity. Author Miswanto reveals how trade union leaders transformed what should have been a day of resistance into a sycophantic display of support for President Prabowo Subianto—a former military officer with a history of human rights abuses and current capitalist interests. Rather than demanding real change like repealing the anti-worker Omnibus Law, these elite (…)

Where did the “global neofascist axis” come from, and where is it going? What destabilizing effects might Russia's war in Ukraine have? Ilya Budraitskis and Gilbert Achcar discuss the current conjuncture Ilya Budraitskis: With the beginning of Trump's second term, the world is experiencing a tremendous geopolitical shift, and I would like to start discussing it with the question of NATO's future. Today, it is obvious that the alliance is in a situation of strategic and ideological crisis. (…)

Since Trump's return, Israel has dropped all pretenses of self-defense. But even as it evades accountability, it has cemented its legacy as a global pariah.

(Doaa Albaz/Activestills) Since October 7, Israeli cabinet ministers, political figures, military officers and media pundits have openly and endlessly incited for the (…)
