Phill Campbell reflects on Black-Palestinian solidarity and the recent People’s Conference for Palestine.

“Set in a majority Black city on the final days of Black August, which commemorates the struggle of African American political prisoners, one question came to mind: how does the movement for Palestine relate to that of the Black nation in the United States?

Eugene Puryear, a leader of the ANSWER Coalition gave one answer during the “The Struggle Continues: The Fight for Palestine in North America” plenary. He described an “unbreakable solidarity between the Black liberation movement and the Palestinian liberation movement that has lasted from the southern fields, the people organizing from the right to vote, to the streets of Ferguson where the Palestinian people were doing everything they could to continue the fight against the racist machine here in the United States.””

In what is being described as an outstanding achievement for an Indian state, the Left-ruled southern state of Kerala recorded an infant mortality rate (IMR) of just 5 (per 1,000 live births), as per the latest report published by the Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India (ORGI).

The IMR 5 is five times lower than the national IMR of 25 and better than most developed countries, such as the US, which recorded an IMR of 5.6 last year.

☭ Communists in Kerala celebrate "Anti-Imperialist Day"

🇮🇳 Protesting US-backed aggression around the world, including the latest in Qatar, the Kerala unit of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) observed an Anti-Imperialist Day on September 15. The Party also commemorated the martyrdom of comrades Abu and Chathukutty, who were killed by British troops during a similar Anti-Imperialist Day protest on the same date in 1940, for their resistance against British colonialism.

🇵🇸 Deir Yassin ship sets sail towards Gaza.

Moroccan activist Ayoub Habraoui from Workers' Democratic War and the International Peoples' Assembly (IPA) is aboard the Deir Yassin ship which just departed from the Sidi Bou Said port in Tunisia. The ship along with dozens of others is en route to Gaza to break the blockade and deliver aid. Despite numerous attacks and threats from Israel, the Global Sumud Flotilla continues on.

On September 16, the people of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger will mark the second anniversary of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), established by the Liptako-Gourma Charter in 2023.

This is not merely a date on the calendar, but a celebration of a renewed struggle for sovereignty in a region long suffocated by French neo-colonialism and failed Western security strategies.

In its two years of existence, the AES has made significant strides. The expulsion of French troops from all three member states was a historic blow to French neo-colonialism in Africa. The formation of the Confederation of Sahel States on July 6, 2024, has further solidified the alliance, with a joint military force already conducting exercises and its leaders deepening security ties, as seen in the military meetings in Russia in July and August 2025. Plans are advancing for a single passport, a domestic tax-financed new investment fund, and eventually, a common currency. On the economic front, the AES is taking concrete steps to reclaim control over its destiny.

Immigrant worker and father Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez was shot dead in the Chicago suburb of Franklin Park on September 12 after he was stopped by ICE agents in his vehicle. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleges in a public statement that he was shot after he “resisted arrest, attempted to flee the scene and dragged an ICE officer a significant distance with his car.”

The fatal shooting comes amid Trump’s crackdown on immigrant workers in the form of “Operation Midway Blitz”, an immigration enforcement escalation announced by DHS on September 8. The Trump administration has officially described the operation as targeting immigrants DHS claims have criminal records. Trump’s DHS has presented the operation as retaliation against “sanctuary city” policies, local measures in more progressive areas designed to protect immigrant workers from ICE raids. The administration has used the effort to sharpen its attacks on what it calls “Democrat-run” cities, with Chicago singled out as a prime target.

The battle to preserve our environment is intrinsically linked to the defense of our national sovereignty. How our country positions itself on the global stage, who our natural resources serve, and who dictates the rules of the environmental game are central issues in ensuring a sustainable future for the Brazilian population.

In Brazil, agribusiness is one of the main drivers of the worsening environmental and social crisis. Characterized by land concentration, monoculture of commodities for export, deforestation for agricultural expansion, and the intensive use of pesticides and water, this model is proving increasingly unsustainable. In 2023 alone, 3.7 million hectares of forest were cleared worldwide, largely to make way for livestock and agribusiness crops.

Ecuador’s right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, announced that he will eliminate the state subsidy for diesel fuel.

During the two election campaigns he has participated in, Noboa promised that he would not eliminate the diesel subsidy because it would “generate inflation”. However, on September 12, a group of ministers informed the entire country about that exact measure.

In fact, although it has been a tradition for presidents to personally announce such measures, Noboa decided not to appear on camera to report on the controversial decision. Instead, four cabinet ministers announced that the elimination of the subsidy would be offset by various measures, such as providing financial assistance to more families and subsidizing public transportation to prevent fare increases, among others.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in the occupied city of Jerusalem on Sunday, September 14, to discuss Israel’s plans for ending its ongoing genocidal aggression on Gaza, after it ruined the ceasefire talks with its assault on Qatar last week.

Rubio’s visit to Israel also came two days after the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the New York declaration on the peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine and the implementation of the two-State solution on Friday, September 12. The majority of countries voted in favor of the declaration. A total of 142 out of the 193 member states of the General Assembly voted in favor of the resolution backing the declaration. Ten states, including Israel, voted against and 12 abstained.

Criticizing the decision, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, Oren Marmorstein, described the General Assembly in a post on X as “a political circus” that is “detached from reality”. “Israel utterly rejects the decision of the UN General Assembly this evening,” Marmostein said.

In the largest protest for Palestine in New Zealand’s history, tens of thousands of people marched through central Auckland calling on the New Zealand government to impose immediate diplomatic and economic sanctions on Israel to halt the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Aotearoa for Palestine, the Palestinian- and Māori-led group that organized the demonstration, estimates that 50,000 people took part in The March for Humanity. The turnout was so vast that as the front of the procession reached its final rallying point at Victoria Park, people were still filing onto Queen Street from the starting point at Aotea Square, a distance of 2.1 kilometers.

The march was endorsed by over 150 organizations including labor unions, human rights and environmental projection NGOs, Māori leaders, and community organisations across New Zealand.

Ethiopia has inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydroelectric project, in a move hailed at home as a triumph of self-reliance but viewed by Egypt and Sudan as a threat to their water security.

The USD 5 billion megaproject on the Blue Nile, one of the Nile’s two main tributaries just 14 kilometers (9 miles) from the Sudanese border, was opened on September 9. Stretching 1.8 kilometers wide and rising 145 meters tall, the GERD is designed to generate 5,150 megawatts (MW) of electricity, more than doubling Ethiopia’s existing capacity and rivaling major dams like the Aswan High Dam in Egypt or the Inga dams in DRC. Officials say the dam will not only address chronic domestic power shortages but also allow the export of surplus electricity, fueling industrialization and economic growth.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, presiding over the inauguration, hailed the project as both a national and continental achievement, saying, “The Renaissance Dam is a testament to Ethiopia’s resolve and a beacon for Africa’s future,” describing the dam as proof that African nations can undertake transformative projects without external dependency. He added that the facility will “provide clean energy, light up the region, and change the history of black people.”

Last week, US President Donald Trump demanded that his European allies impose a 100% tariff against China and India for importing oil from Russia. He apparently promised the European envoy that he would match Europe and impose similar tariffs against both countries.

Trump has accused China and India of funding the war in Ukraine by importing oil from Russia. This was confirmed by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday in an interview with Reuters. He claimed that his country will not impose more tariffs on China and India over Russian oil imports until the Europeans do it.

In response, China reiterated that no amount of external pressure or coercion will make it compromise its “sovereignty, security and development interests” and warned that if its “legitimate rights and interests are harmed” in any way it will “resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard” them.

A devastating natural disaster has deepened Sudan’s already overwhelming humanitarian crisis. On August 31, 2025, a massive landslide, triggered by weeks of relentless heavy rainfall, wiped the village of Tarsin off the map in the Jebel Marra mountains of Darfur. Entire families were buried alive under tons of earth and rock as their homes collapsed in seconds. Initial reports from local authorities and the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), one of the organizations controlling the region, describe the scene as apocalyptic. Estimates suggest that over 1,000 people perished in a single morning, with only one survivor pulled from the rubble.

Tens of thousands of students, teachers, and workers will march in the streets in cities across Argentina on September 17, for the Federal University March. This will be the third mass protest to defend university funding against Argentine President Javier Milei’s austerity policies. The protest will coincide with a teachers’ strike that is taking place in national higher education institutions.

On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Milei vetoed the University Financing Law, which was set to increase funding for Argentina’s public universities. The University Financing Law was approved by the Senate on August 22, 2025, and was intended to:
-Adjust teaching and non-teaching salaries in line with inflation
-Update operating expenses
-Provide funds for infrastructure, scholarships, strategic careers, and academic activities
-Progressively increase the university budget from 1% of GDP in 2026 to 1.5% in 2031
