Yesterday’s press conference by the Transitional Military Council (TMC) was but a continuation of the misinformation campaign we have been watching in all their press conferences post the 29th of Ramadan massacre. Once again, the TMC demonstrates the same shortsighted approach of the defunct regime in adopting violence as the only answer to political problems.
The explicit and implicit threats voiced by the TMC’s spokespersons at the press conference cannot undermine the unity of the DFC Forces. They are only a clear indication of an ill-sighted approach in dealing with a crisis of their own making. TMC’s admission to ordering the brutal crackdown on protesters at the army HQ sit-in makes them the first defendant in this heinous crime.
Hadash (The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality – Communist Party of Israel) Ta’al, Balad and Ra’am (United Arab List) – are expected to announce a joint campaign for Israel’s September 17 election within the next couple of weeks. Communist Party General Secretary Adel Amer told the Communist daily newspaper Al Ittihad that the intensive talks among the four established parties should conclude with an agreement for a resumed merger within 10 days to two weeks.
The parties have speeded up their negotiations in recent days and held discussions on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (June 11 and 12), with the aim of wrapping up negotiations some time within in the second half of June.
The National Secretariat of the Communist Party of India issued the following statement on June 15, 2019:
India voted in favour of Israel at the United Nation’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to deny a 'consultative' status to a Palestinian non-governmental organisation. This is a clear indication that the current regime headed by Mr. Narendra Modi is going against the national consensus in India supporting Palestine and it is trying to become closer to Israel government.
Receive an affectionate and combative greeting from the National Executive Committee of the Communist Youth of Venezuela (JCV) and all our militancy, before the realization of the international solidarity campaign “Imperialism: Hands off Venezuela!” To promote from the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) with the objective of denouncing the interference of imperialism in the affairs of the Venezuelan people.
Nowadays, while the contradictions of imperialism are still deepening and are exposing the peoples to new threats and new dangers, the World Federation of Democratic Youth insists on the continuous struggle of the youth against imperialism, for the society of peace, social progress and justice and the end of the exploitation.
This situation is being escalated in all the regions with different ways. In Latin America, the United States and its allies together with the European Union have obvious aims. The imperialist interests to dominate and plunder the resources of #Latin_America and the Caribbean are clearly shown and are, as well expressed with the systematic interference, backed by a brutal ideological offensive, mainly through the media.
The coup d’état -TMC resorts to a total shutdown of the internet service in Sudan, including cutting off the landlines, which are the only remaining outlet for the Sudanese people to access the outside world and disclose the heinous crimes being committed by the Janjaweed militias and their sponsoring TMC. They are also the only outlet left to draw the world attention to the epical and heroic victories of the Sudanese people, culminating in the general political strike and civil disobedience.
The Gas Workers’ Union issued a statement on their recent 10-day strike. The announcement notes:
«We are getting stronger from the strike, we remain alert after a big strike of 12 days, claiming a direct employment relationship with open-ended contracts at the Natural Gas Company, following previous mobilizations that began in 2017.
The Ministry of Environment and Energy and the DEPA Company have failed to meet their commitments to meet the fair demand for permanent and stable work for all, with upgraded, equal rights. What workers have received is mockery.”
Hadash lashed out at the US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, on Saturday, June 8, after the New York Times published an interview with him in which he said that Israel has a right to annex parts of the occupied West Bank. “Under certain circumstances, I think Israel has the right to retain some, but unlikely all, of the West Bank,” Friedman told the New York Times.
During his campaign leading up to last April’s general elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to gradually annex all West Bank Jewish settlements; a move long supported by nearly all lawmakers in his alliance of right wing and religious parties, and said he hoped to do so with US support.
More than 2,600 persons have signed a petition launched by Americans for Peace Now (APN) against the Trump diplomatic initiative dubbed by the US president as the “Deal of the Century.”
According to the website of Americans for Peace Now, “Jared Kushner, appointed by his father-in-law President Donald Trump to come up with what Trump called the ‘Ultimate Deal’ for Israeli-Palestinian peace, has signaled that his ‘peace plan’ does not aim to achieve a two-state solution. Kushner recently indicated that because past attempts to achieve a two-state solution failed, his plan focuses on ‘new and different ways to reach peace.’ Kushner’s colleague, Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, said the plan is an effort to ‘think outside the box.'”
Youthparticipation in unions in 2012 sat below 5% in Ireland (Vandaele,2013), with this fact being mirrored in numerous countries around theEU. There are numerous possible explanations for this fact, but inthis article I want to focus on one in particular.
Whenthinking about it, it might seem at first that young people may nothave a good view of unions as a result of cultural and media biasesagainst them, but this doesn’t seem to be true. The Journal.ie heldthree separate polls on the Nurses and Midwives strike betweenDecember 2018, and January 2019, with all three resulting in approvalof over 75% in each, with Keune (2013), finding that in all countriessurveyed with the exception of Spain, young people almost alwaysviewed trade unions in a positive light.
We have received several reports about the continued campaign of the Military Coup Council in arresting political activists and protesters. The militias of ‘the security committee’ of the old regime, RSF and Janjaweed brigades have detained a number of political leaders and threatened them with assassination, in addition to the forced disappearance of a large number of revolutionaries whose fate remains unknown. This violent campaign of the criminal militias has also reached a number of employees of banks, electricity companies, airports, civil aviation, and other vital sectors with pursuits, arrests, and threats, in an attempt to break the planned civil disobedience and the general political strike through which all sectors of the Sudanese people have come together to overthrow the Military Coup Council and transfer power to a civil transitional authority in accordance with the Declaration of Freedom and Change (DFC).
As a continuation of your various and strong roles in supporting the revolution, and in concurrence with the civil disobedience, we ask you to boycott all embassies and Military Council representation posts outside Sudan, and to avoid any dealings that could provide funds to the Coup Council.
The president of the plenipotentiary National Constituent Assembly (ANC), Diosdado Cabello, met Friday with the president of the Republic of Cuba, Miguel Diaz-Canel, and the Army General and first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of that nation , Raúl Castro Ruz.
The Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) today will not go back to the negotiation table with the Transitional Military Council (TMC) until those responsible for last week’s barbaric attacks on demonstrators at the Army HQ are brought to justice.
The president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, ordered the reopening of the border crossings with Colombia in the Táchira state.
The measure will be taken from Saturday, June 8, reported the national president in his Twitter account @NicolasMaduro, in which he adds that Venezuela is a people of peace that firmly defends its independence and self-determination.
Our Sudanese people, We are closely monitoring some poisonous calls by the Coup Council for resumption of the negotiations, in blatant disregard of the innocent lives we have lost.
Therefore, we unequivocally confirm that we will not sit again with the Coup Council.
The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is hosting since Thursday the “Latin American Meeting of Local Governments and Participatory Democracy”, which will gather in Caracas until June 9 more than a hundred mayors, governors, councilors and progressive leaders of 19 Latin American and the Caribbean countries.
June 4, 2019: The Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) issued a statement that confirms the need for complete civil disobedience and open political strike, immediately, as the only measure left for the Sudanese people to hold the country from collapsing into total chaos and insecurity under the rule of the military coup council.

LAB STARTS A CAMPAIGN TO DENOUNCE THE “JUSTICE’S CORPORATAVITATION” AND TO CALL THAT THE TRADE UNION MOVEMENT “IS MORE NECESSARY THAN EVER”
More than 10.000€ in fines and prison years petitions after the successful trade union struggles in “La Sangiovesa” and “Huerta de Peralta”. The public prosecutor calls 2 and half prison year’s petition and 5 years expulsion from the Spanish State to one Huerta de Peralta worker who was injured two times by the Police.
The trade unions understood as an instrument at the service of the working class struggle is more necessary than ever. The working class and specially the workers with precariousness job conditions need committed, active effective trade unions. Fortunately the trade union struggles are multiplying during the last months; La Sangiovesa and Huerta de Peralta (Basque Companies) are two significant examples.
On June 1, 2018, an Israeli military sniper shot and killed, Palestinian paramedic Razan al-Najjar, 20, during the weekly Great March of Return procession along the Gaza border. Razan wanted to show the world that “We Palestinians can achieve anything even without weapons.” The marksman who shot her undoubtedly had other ideas.
The National Secretariat of Communist Party of India welcomes the proposal of Delhi Government to give free transport to all women in Metro and buses. This will help working women and girl students in particular. We further appeal to Delhi government to also consider giving free education or scholarships to girl students till PhD level. This will help in bridging the gender gap by opening up better opportunities for women in employment and encourage families to allow girls to pursue higher education.
A Statement by the Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change: Escalating the Revolution and Terminating Negotiations with the Coup Council
On this day, the Forces of the Declaration of Freedom and Change (DFC forces) announced the beginning of an all-out political strike and civil disobedience, and termination of negotiations with the Coup Council.
After a day of a massacre on civilians, committed by the combined forces of the Sudanese military, the Janjaweed militias (also called the ‘Rapid Support Forces’), the ‘national security’ forces and other militias, in Khartoum and other cities and towns of Sudan, the DFC declared ‘an escalation of the revolution’, as follows:
Killing and burning at the vicinity of the sit-in in front of the army’s HQs.
The SPA and allies are calling on all citizens in all sudanese cities and towns to go out in marches, and block all streets and bridges in order to protect the revolution. SPA and allies also call for a general civil disobedience until the Transitional Military Council is toppled.
The Sudanese armed forces should fulfill their duty and defend the citizens from the Transitional Military Council’s militias.
The Sudanese CP issued a statement on the vulnerability of the transition process of the Sudanese Revolution and declared its perspective regarding the transition process.
The Political Bureau of the Sudanese CP issued a statement on June 1 regarding the political situation in Sudan following the overthrow of the Omar Al Bashir. The ongoing demonstrations of the Forces for the Declaration of Freedom and Change (FDFC) are occasionally being attacked. On the other hand, the Transition Military Council (TMC) that took over the power is delaying the transition of power to the FDFC. Under these circumstances, the statement of the Sudanese CP clarifies the position of the Party regarding the transition process.
Hadash (The Democratic Front for Peace and Equality – the electoral front of the Communist Party of Israel) and three Arab parties are planning to reunite and run once again, like in 2015, as a single slate in the upcoming elections for the 22nd Knesset, scheduled for September 17.
Hadash, Ta’al, Ra’am, and Balad have already begun discussing a revival of the Joint List with the goal of recovering seats they lost in the April 9 election for the 21st Knesset, when they had divided into two separate slates. “We have drawn together as much as possible,” MK Ayman Odeh, who heads Hadash, told in a radio interview Thursday, May 30. “We hope that within a week we will decide how to run.”
A disciplinary body of the Israeli military last week sentenced a young Communist soldier and conscientious objector, Roman Levin, to 30 additional days in military prison for his refusal to continue serving in the army. Upon completing his current sentence, he will have served a total of 80 days behind bars.
Levin, 19, from the city of Bat Yam just south of Tel Aviv, immigrated to Israel with a few members of his family from the Ukraine when he was 3 years old. He initially believed his military service would contribute to society and fulfill his duties as a citizen.
Israel’s parliament voted early Thursday, May 30, to dissolve itself a mere month after it was sworn in. This unprecedented step came in the wake of far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s failure to meet the midnight deadline to form a new government, triggering a second national election this year.
After a raucous 12-hour debate, lawmakers voted 74 to 45 in favor of the Likud-drafted bill to dissolve the 21st Knesset and hold new elections on September 17. Hadash-Ta’al supported the motion.
