Youth Bring the Outrage, But Not Transformation
Aasim Sajjad Akhtar / Dawn (Karachi)
The youth have shown they can shake regimes — but without organisation, ideology, and economic transformation, their fury may only deepen the status quo.

Abigail Kret / NACLA Report (New York)
On September 24, activists, intellectuals, legislators, and the presidents of Chile, Spain, and Uruguay gathered in New York City on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly to honor the legacy of former Uruguayan president José “Pepe” Mujica, who passed away in May 2025. Mujica’s presidency was only one chapter in an extraordinary life.

Activists at the Edge of the Climate Abyss
Didem Aydurmus / transform! Europe (Vienna)
The climate catastrophe demands urgent materialist politics. In her incisive analysis, German political scientist Didem Aydurmus calls on the left to confront food scarcity, abandon consumerist illusions, and embrace survival-oriented strategies rooted in solidarity and science.

Mali: False Independence
Sinamban Coulibaly / Alternative Viewpoint
After Choguel Kokala Malga became prime minister during the second state of emergency in May 2021, the government focused on discrediting political parties and civil society. After they dissolved parties and associations, the security situation and the repression within the army have exposed the despotic and freedom-destroying nature of the regime, even to those who may not fully grasp it.
__________
Ukraine, Palestine and the Left
Kavita Krishnan / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières (Paris)
Last month, left-wing activists held a demonstration in Kyiv, chanting “From Ukraine to Palestine, occupation is a crime and liberation is our aim” and unfurling the flags of both Ukraine and Palestine as a sign of mutual support between the two nations, which are facing imperialist invasions and experiencing the occupation of their internationally recognized territories.

Tri-People Statement Against Corruption in the RP
Ten Activist Organizations in Philippines / Europe Solidaire Sans Frontières
Corruption is not merely the misappropriation of public funds; it is violence. It is the betrayal of our right to live with dignity. In our communities, it means flood control projects that never materialize, drainage systems left unfinished, and billions lost to kickbacks, while families wade through waist-deep waters and watch their crops rot, homes and livelihoods drown. Lives are buried and washed away.
