Howitzers and long-range cannons will beused there and a hangar will be built to house them. 100 soldiers will bepermanently stationed in the area, which, during the exercises, will be able toaccommodate up to 800 men and women in uniform."We have been looking for areas in Sicily for some time to train our soldiers,"said General Scardino, responsible for the army in Sicily. "Our presence in thearea of the three municipalities involved, in addition to guaranteeing animprovement in economic conditions, will ensure greater control of the territory,increasing safety, fire prevention, control to avoid the abandonment of toxicwaste and any other activity that endangers the environment and the population.We have found institutional synergy and a welcoming population". These statementshave the sour taste of hypocrisy and militaristic propaganda.To avoid fires and illegal dumping, the Italian army transforms a vast area inthe province of Enna into a terrain where war is played with heavy vehicles,firing missiles and projectiles. It is easy to predict that, as has happenedelsewhere, the soil will be irreparably polluted.We talked about it with Antonio Mazzeo, who has just completed an investigationJune 2nd. Deserters DayEvery June 2, the Republic celebrates itself with military displays, parades andcommemorations.Over the years this "party" has taken on an increasingly marked nationalist andmilitarist connotation.The far-right government feeds the rhetoric of identity, the "sacred" borders,the exaltation of war.Like every year, the government will use the military ceremonies of June 2 tojustify huge military expenditures, the sending of arms and Italy's directinvolvement in military missions abroad, from Ukraine to Africa.Wars, rapes, land occupations, bombings, tortures, the whole collection of humanhorrors, if committed by men and women employed in an army, becomes legitimate,necessary, timely, heroic. The parade uniforms, the flags, the medals, the triad"god, fatherland, family" are not the mere legacy of a more rhetorical andmagniloquent past than our present, but the ever-present representation of theimperialist and neo-conial attitude of the Italian state .CPR of Turin. 9 suspects for the OspedalettoThe suicide of Moussa Balde, who died in the isolation area of the CPR in Turin,has led to an investigation which, according to what the newspapers report, isreaching its final stages.There are talks of 40 cases of "unsuitable treatment" of prisoners in theadministrative prison. The investigation would be for kidnapping.Moussa Balde was 23 years old. On May 9, 2021 he was in Ventimiglia, outside asupermarket where he was trying to scrape together some money. Three men assaulthim with kicks, punches and bolts. Someone makes a video: Moussa is on theground, curled up while the three rage on him.A story of racist violence like many others: only the dissemination of imagesprevented silence from falling on his story, because people like Moussa rarelyhave the opportunity to tell and be believed.Fifteen days later his lifeless body was found in the Ospedaletto, which, in thenewspeak of the CPR, is the landfill is isolated so that his clandestine life isquickly forgotten, so that he cannot tell about the violence suffered. TheOspedaletto, following this incident, was closed. The Turin CPR burned downduring the February riots. But they intend to reopen it.We talked about it with Gianluca Vitale, Moussa's lawyerSardinia.
