For the second consecutive week, climate change demonstrators took to the streets across the globe to highlight the growing climate crisis.

Fury in Haiti

A three-week gasoline shortage—caused because the government, which purchases gas on behalf of distributors, owes suppliers $100 million—led to outrage.
__________
UK Labour Party Conference Sprints Left
Sarah Jaffe / The American Prospect (Washington DC)
Labour’s best hope for victory in a general election, just as it was in 2017, is to get people talking about something besides Brexit.
__________
India: New Chapter for the Left
K. M. Shrimali / Frontline (Mumbai)
The Left should take the lead, prepare itself to plough its own furrow and be in it for the long haul (as distinct from falling for short-term and short-sighted “strategic” electoral arrangements/understandings either with opportunist parties or with ideologically right-oriented formations).
__________
Egypt: New Wave of Protest
Sharif Abdel Kouddous / Democracy Now! (New York)
Thousands have taken to the streets to demand the resignation of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi over accusations of corruption.
__________
International Anti-Imperialist Conference Coming to Cuba
Nuria Barbosa León / Granma (Havana)
Havana will again serve as a meeting place for those who defend peace, solidarity, and justice, November 1-3. The event will propitiate debate and interaction around a program of concrete action to condemn the brutal economic, commercial, financial blockade imposed unilaterally by the U.S. government.
