• The fertility wars: Birth control as US foreign policy
  8 February 2017, by siawi3

  Aggressive population control campaigns in Africa have their roots in American foreign policy going back nearly 60 years. US authorities concluded that rapid population growth in the developing world threatened America’s access to cheap resources necessary for their consumerist lifestyle. Unknown to many in the countries targeted, and against protests from the Catholic Church, America has pretty much achieved its objectives.

• General Gordon Baker, Jr.: Pioneer in African American working class resistance
  19 March 2017, by siawi3

  The lessons of the struggles waged by General Baker and his comrades must be taken into consideration in the present battle in the US over jobs, income, pensions and public assets.the failure of the U.S. capitalist system to adequately address the national oppression of African Americans and other people of color is clearly connected with the incapacity of the ruling class to resolve its own contradictions related to over-production which has fostered wider gaps in income between the rich and the working class as well as the ever deeper economic downturns that have intensified since the beginning of the 21^st century.

• India: Demonetization Undermines the Right to Food and the Right to Life - text of statement by the Right to Food Campaign

  The right to food campaign is dismayed by the Indian government’s reckless attempt to renew currency notes, known as “demonetization”, without any serious attention to the consequences it may have for poor people.

• Killed Beaten Raped: Migrant Workers in Saudi Arabia
  9 December 2013, by siawi3

  The ‘migrant crackdown’ in Saudi Arabia has unearthed a plethora of poisonous practices, racism, hate and abusive methods in the country; the violence meted out by security personnel and civilian gangs on the city streets has revealed publicly the level of extreme mistreatment suffered by thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of domestic workers hidden from view, trapped and enslaved. It is a society operating in defiance of all manner of human rights that has been clearly seen and exposed; as the thousands of Ethiopians protesting outside Saudi Arabian embassies across the world have chanted; “shame on you, shame on you, shame on you.â€

• Iran’s Revolutionary Guards arrest more dual nationals
  9 November 2017, by siawi3

  Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have arrested at least 30 dual nationals during the past two years, mostly on spying charges, according to lawyers, diplomats and relatives, twice as many as earlier reported by local or international media. Detainees’ relatives and lawyers said the Guards were using them as bargaining chips in international relations and to put off European firms that sought business in Iran after the government agreed the deal with world powers to lift sanctions. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has vast business interests as well as being Iran’s most powerful security force and has criticised the government for handing contracts to foreigners.

• Le passé helvético-apartheid doit rester gravé dans les mémoires
  17 décembre 2013, par siawi3

  La gravure présente est si profonde qu’elle permet d’effacer toute la mémoire des relations intimes entretenues par le gotha du capital helvétique avec le régime d’apartheid. Un an avant la libération de Nelson Mandela, le 11 février 1990, après vingt-sept ans d’incarcération, était cultivée la campagne politique pro-apartheid et continuaient les relations financières, commerciales, économiques, politiques avec un régime qui subissait les sanctions de la part d’une grande majorité des pays àl’échelle internationale. Il n’est donc pas inutile de regraver dans la mémoire de certains lecteurs et lectrices la réalité des relations entre le capitalisme helvétique et celui de l’apartheid sud-africain. Pour cela, nous republions ci-dessous un des nombreux articles écrits dans le périodique La Brèche, en l’occurrence dans le numér^o 427 du 14 avril 1989.
