The horrific death toll from the earthquake in Haiti briefly focused the world’s attention on the plight of the Haitian people. The earthquake was a natural disaster coming on top of decades of human disasters imposed upon the people as its economy has been forced to transform to suit the needs of transnational corporations.

On the day it occurred, the US Heritage Foundation issued a statement arguing that "the U.S. response to the tragic earthquake in Haiti earthquake offers opportunities to re-shape Haiti’s long-dysfunctional government and economy." ...

What game are the trade union leaders playing? ---- Since the middle of January civil and public servants have engaged in a work-to-rule in an attempt to force a reversal of the pay cuts announced by the government in the December budget. Across the country workers in government offices, colleges, schools, hospitals etc. are taking action, which they hope will result in a change of government policy. ---- Up to 300,000 public service workers have had their pay cut by up an average of 16% (‘pension levy’ + income levy + pay cut) in just over 12 months and they are rightly angry.

A special report from the February 2010 issue of the monthly libertarian Alternative: One year after the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip and its 1,400 victims, the situation of the Palestinian population is dramatic. While a UN report confirms that the IDF has engaged in war crimes in January 2009, Israeli leaders are not low profile. Netanyahu continued to refuse a freeze on settlements, Barack Obama gives a free hand to the Zionist state, and the prospect of another war, even a reoccupation of Gaza are not excluded. Solidarity needed. At the invitation of Palestinian society, the anti-colonial world are mobilized in the campaign Boycott Divestment and Sanction (BDS). ...

It took 3 months after the beginning of the war for the anti-war movement to gather enough courage to get out in the streets.

It is of little doubt that the total failure of any attempts to oppose the Second Chechen War was the most bitter defeat of the Russian anarchist movement during the past decade. A feeling of total powerlesness in front of the brutal realities of the Chechenyan meat-grinder was pressing so heavily on the imagination of anti-authoritarians during the first half of the decade, that the movement was onlyable to recovere slightly when the intensity of the war gradually calmed down. ---- One may say, that the Second Chechen war started the 26th of August 1999, when the air force of the Russian Federation bombed Grozny and other parts of Ichkeria, and ended the 31st of October 2007, when pro-separatist websites published the announcement of Dokku Umarov, that the Ichkerian Republic had been dissolved and replaced by the Caucasus Emirate. Of course, the war still ...

On April , the 17, 2010 in Kiev will be held the second international tournament of mixed martial arts among the anti-fascists of Europe "No surrender!! II."

Celebrating cultures of resistance ---- Edinburgh AFed are curating a one-day free film festival on Saturday 20th March at the Banshee Labyrinth on Niddrie Street (formerly Nicholl Edwards). Celebrating “cultures of resistance” across the world, the diverse films share the theme of collective action against political or economic injustice. A conscious shift away from the documentary-heavy format of most activist film festivals sees the screening of new and old class-conscious classics. ---- They include John Sayles’ Matewan, featuring the screen debut of indie singer Will Oldham as a teenage preacher in a mining town standing together in the teeth of state and capitalist siege, and last year’s Army of Crime, which makes Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds look like a cartoon.

The head of the Israeli military, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, was a featured speaker. Israeli activist Matan Cohen of the group Anarchists Against the Wall called for ending US aid to Israel. Matan Cohen: “We’re protesting here today at a fundraiser dinner for the Israeli army. We’re here to send a clear message to the Israeli government that its impunity has ended, that the world is watching, and that we’ll no longer stand idle as its policies of apartheid and occupation continue. We’re here to say clearly that the aid to Israel should be stopped and that the United States should no longer fund Israel’s crimes. Enough is enough.” ...
