UN: Report Accuses Israeli Forces of Rape and Sexual Abuse Against Palestinian Detainees! (4.6.2026)

The report stated that rape and gang rape, in some cases repeatedly, affected nine victims, most of them from Gaza.

It attributed responsibility for the violations to members of the Israeli army and security services, including the Israeli military, the Israel Prison Service and special police units.

According to the report, abuses mainly occurred during detention and interrogation at several locations, including the Sde Teiman military camp and Etzion detention center, as well as prisons including Megiddo, Ofer, Ramla, Hasharon, Shatta, Nafha and Damon, as well as the Gush Etzion police station.

PFLP: The Popular Front meets with Fatah in the North! (3.6.2026)

The delegation began by conveying the Front’s congratulations on the success of the Eighth General Conference of the Fatah Movement and on the occasion of Eid al-Adha. Then the attendees held a discussion about the conditions our people are living in in the camps in light of the war being waged against Lebanon and its south, especially our people’s camps in the south and the massive displacement to the northern region. Both sides praised the important role played by the popular committees in the northern region in terms of caring for and supporting our displaced people, especially the communication with international and local institutions that contributed to alleviating their suffering.

Africa: AU & UN Leaders Denounce External Interferences in Africa’s Security Crisis! (15.5.2026)

Youssouf said the interferences are requiring the AU, UN and other partners to deploy more efforts to contain the crises. “The AU must lead any peace negotiations on the continent, based on the principle of African solutions to African conflicts.”

Guterres, for his part, said it is absolutely intolerable that countries that are external to Africa interfere in African conflicts, providing weapons and political support with the objective of serving their strategic or economic interests.

“We need naturally to go on developing our common diplomacy, to make sure that we create the conditions for this kind of interference to cease and for other actors to be able to come to political agreements, able to end these conflicts,” he said.

According to Guterres, the world is witnessing a new kind of war where the military does not fight each other but launches drones against civilians.

“We also raise our voices, denouncing those countries that are providing drones that are not manufactured in Africa, as they are causing terrible sacrifice for the African people,” he added.

Cuba: Presidential Statement on Fuel Shortages! (13.5.2036)

A small group of ultra-rightists who have hijacked the policy towards Cuba and lie or deliberately and cynically misinform about the Cuban reality, while demanding more suffocation and threats against our people, fear this improvement.

Our response remains the same: always willing to dialogue on equal terms, we will continue to resist and create, convinced more and more that it is up to us to overcome the enormous difficulties with our own efforts, united as a nation, and firm to face the most difficult challenges.

Denmark: Embarrassing [Indigenous Greenlandic] “Ethnic-Cleansing” Policy Abandoned! (12.5.2026)

The Guardian Newspaper used to be the best intellectual tome for the left – (about 30-years ago) I used to read it cover to cover (when commuting on long-distance trains) – but its bourgeois, Trotskyite, centre-right political trajectory today just makes me sick. Do not buy it or encourage it. However, every so often there is an article – the content of which is far more important – than the Guardian betraying the working-class. I once met an Icelandic person (and his daughter) who looked “Asian” – and he told me that indigenous peoples in Iceland, Greenland, and elsewhere – were originally from Asia thousands of years ago – but today suffer discrimination from the White Europeans who colonised these areas. Indeed, and perhaps of the greatest irony, is the fact that the racist Trump has attempted to annex Greenland, and this ambition has inadvertently highlighted an extremely “racist” policy hiding in plane sight. Denmark, of course, collaborated with Nazi Germany with many of its men joining Hitler’s SS. The White Danish Authorities inflict a “Civilisation” test on Indigenous people in Greenland to see how “White” they behave. When they fail these racist tests – their children are removed. Absolutely disgusting!
