(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #231 - Mexico: Resisting the PRI is to resist the worst (fr)
With the return of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) since December 2012, we had written that we were expecting the worst[1]. We are not disappointed. ---- Just came to power, Enrique Pe?a Nieto (EPN) signed with the PAN (National Action Party, Catholic right) and the PRD (Party of the Democratic Revolution, left far more radical) the Pact Mexico, sealing the unit of the Mexican political class to deepen neoliberal bleeding in the country. With some paternalistic social programs to get the pill, EPN has undertaken to reform the constitution to be able to privatize everything goes. It began with education, and is now tackling energy. National and transnational capitalism benefits and looting the country with mining or tourism projects wind, hydraulic imposed by force. Social and indigenous resistance is imprisoned, murdered or forced into exile, while organized crime runs fine days. This is the beauty of the corrupt political and judicial system built by the PRI during his 70 years in power. Self-organization as resistance Some local struggles come to oppose this movement, the more massive are those of the Zapatistas and community fonts Guerrero. In this ravaged by organized crime state, many indigenous communities have organized since 1995 to put out the police and army, largely corrupt and inefficient, and develop their own police and justice, based on the rehabilitation and repair. In these regions, affecting nearly 100,000 people, crime and organized crime have collapsed through these autonomous community practices. A global social movement struggling to emerge But the global struggles are harder to articulate. Mobilization against education reform, for example, took months to train and out of corporatism monstrous education union whose leader-es are also widely corrupt. Despite attempts to create a popular movement bringing together teachers, social organizations and parents in some states (Oaxaca, Guerrero), the movement has not massification and laws were passed. The energy reform recently announced in a country committed to its oil, however, could cause a massive mobilization. And why not represent the straw that broke the camel? Jocelyn (AL Montreuil).

(en) Southern Arica, African Anarchist Collective Newsletter Tokologo #2
Welcome to the second issue of Tokologo, produced by the Tokologo African Anarchist Collective. ---- Why do we publish this? We publish it because our country is crying out for an alternative. And that alternative is anarchism, which stands for a free and democratic society, run from the grassroots, in communities and workplaces, and based on equality and freedom. In such a society, wealth like land and factories would be collectively owned; production would be directed to meeting basic needs and ensuring environmental sustainability. In such a society, everyone would have a say in all matters that affect them; poverty and deprivation would be abolished; hatred and competition would be replaced by cooperation and mutual aid by all peoples. Corruption, exploitation, police brutality, poverty, and unemployment wreak havoc on township communities, on families, on youth. Desperation provides grounds for hatred, by race, by nationality, by sex. The dreams of freedom of the1980s and 1990s have evaporated. Politicians make promises that they do not keep. Workers are killed when they demand higher wages. While Marikana comrades bury their dead, the super-rich spend millions on weddings and parties ? The black working class, in particular, finds itself held by the chains of capitalists and politicians, and weighed down by the national oppression of the apartheid past. But all working class and poor people, of whatever race, find themselves in chains. The solution is to fight for something better, a new society. This means organising our working class movements to fight for a new society, And it means freeing our minds of confusion, by educating ourselves with the truth about what is wrong, and the truth about how to make things right. Tokologo aims to contribute to this project. If you agree with what we say, or want to know more, or want a workshop, why not contact us.

France, Alternative Libertaire AL #231 - Morocco: Failure to King (fr)
King Mohammed VI has angered Moroccans and Moroccan in pardoning a recidivist pedophile in July. This faux pas revealed the monarch of his god-like pedestal. ---- Each year, on different occasions (national holidays including his own birthday and religious festivals), the king of Morocco pardoned by his divine intervention thousands of common criminals but never political prisoners, monarchist mercy has limits! Thus, when the King of Spain is asking the homecoming of his own subjects dealing with the Moroccan justice, it is with great pleasure that the King of Morocco gives grace. ---- But grace is not always flawless: in July, it was granted a recidivist pedophile! The reaction of much of the Moroccan people do not have to wait: in all Morocco, thousands of people took to the streets, demanding the immediate cancellation of grace and questioning its foundation and operation. Power has responded to shots tonfa... Note that this time, even pure juice monarchists beat the pavement: that the absurdity of this grace can not this time be the subject of twisted explanations that justify the act of a wise king the populace would not be able to discern. Royal false note The royal cabinet has accused the prison service of abusing the confidence of the king, and decided to blame the Director of Moroccan prisons, soon dismissed. Person, moreover, do not regret the dismissal, even cowardly, because the character has accumulated many cases of corruption and abuse of power during his service. However, without apology, the king recognized the mistake made, set aside the grace, asked the Spanish court to deliver the pedophile (something not made until today) and invited him to his palace families child victims of the Spanish rapist. The royalist government Islamist PJD (Justice and Development) in crisis for months, said through his Minister of Justice that this grace, and in general all royal decisions exceeds its scope. That is to put finely king before the responsibility of his choice, while giving us a new proof of the travesty of democracy what the Moroccan constitutional monarchy. This episode marks a profound destabilization of the confidence that the monarchy claims to hold the part of the Moroccan people. It is also the first time that the king back on a decision, especially a decision concerning diplomatic relations with another country. Some activists in Morocco compared with irony this episode with that of the Japanese emperor at the end of the Second World War, the Japanese had said he had no divine status.

The tell-tale signs of a devastating attack are obvious – even via satellite.
Satellite images of the remote, gold mining village of Camp Bangui in the Central African Republic show dozens of black “burn scars” – all that is left of more than 200 homes reduced to ashes following a November 10 attack by former Seleka fighters who have been wreaking havoc in the region.

 | Afghanistan Should Reject Proposal to Restore Stoning It is absolutely shocking that 12 years after the fall of the Taliban government, the President Hamid Karzai’s administration might bring back stoning as a punishment. Karzai needs to demonstrate at least a basic commitment to human rights and reject this proposal out of hand.

Every cell phone or computer contains only a small amount of gold, and these sectors consume more than 6 percent of the gold produced globally. But the five biggest smartphone manufacturers on the European market – Samsung, Apple, Research in Motion, Nokia, and HTC – cannot guarantee that they are not using gold mined by children.

 | In Egypt, a Deeply Restrictive New Assembly Law Egypt’s new law on public assembly will greatly restrict peaceful political demonstrations. This law will reverse the freedom to demonstrate that Egyptians seized in January 2011, and risks putting that freedom, which brought about momentous change, into reverse.
