Manipur: BJP Racist Policies Lead to Ethnic Violence – At Least 60 Dead & 231 Injured in India’s Manipur! (9.5.2023)

The authorities deployed over 100 columns of the army and paramilitary forces in a bid to put the violence under control.

On Sunday, the army increased its surveillance in violence-affected areas through aerial means such as drones and the deployment of military helicopters.

In addition, a shoot-at-sight order was issued in “extreme cases”.

India’s federal home minister Amit Shah Monday told a local television channel that the situation in Manipur was under control.

Internet services remained suspended in the state and curfew continued to remain in place at various places.

On Monday, the authorities relaxed the curfew at a few places to allow people to purchase daily essentials. Some shops reopened in Imphal and cars were seen plying on roads.

Although life appears to be back to normalcy, locals said the tension remains palpable.

Officials said efforts to recover looted arms and ammunition from police armories were underway.

King Charles III – That Was Worth a Few Hospitals! (6.5.2023)

As a Mass Party we oppose China, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos!

China: Exposing the US and UK Terrorists Through the ‘Hong Kong’ Chronicles [香港編年史]! (5.5.2023)

The US and UK are colluding with Pro-Separatist elements of Taiwan (a rogue region of the People’s Republic of China) – to generate ‘division’ between the 56 ethnic groups that constitute the Mainland ‘Chinese’ nation. This includes ‘White’ and ‘Black’ people born in China – who are ‘Chinese Citizens’ by right of birth. Modern China is a multi-Ethnic and multi-National State – within which all forms of Han chauvinism has been outlawed since 1949 – and subsequently ‘educated’ out of the ‘Socialist’ population! Of course, in the Taiwan region, US influence ensures that Han chauvinism is retained and that Chinese people born into the (Bourgeois) capitalist system on that island are enthused with racist and religionist attitudes that are Eurocentric in nature (maintained by the incessant US Missionaries) and completely incompatible with life in a progressive, developed and affluent China!

Laos Buddhist-Socialist Republic: Celebrating the 58th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Political Bureau! (4.5.2023)

The role, duties and performance of the Peacekeeping Political Forces are always linked to the direct, resolute, and comprehensive leadership of the Laos People’s Revolutionary Party, as well as the Party’s Ministries during each phase of the Revolutionary struggle for National Liberation.

Throughout the past 58 years – by following the guidance provided by the Communist Party – a Peace Defense Force has been constructed that has devised a plan to modify the country step by step. This careful process has required the coordinated compliance of the higher political organizations as well as the correct implementation of all political duties assigned by the Party-State and the people, especially the Party-Staff work and the political work carried-out by the Peacekeeping Force. Throughout the past period, the leadership of the General Political Department for Peace Protection during each generation, as well as the entire force of the General Political Department, have raised their respective burdens of responsibilities and stood shoulder to shoulder with other Specialized Military Departments!
