“Tens of thousands of people took to the streets for the general strike in support of Palestine: this is a huge success,” Giuliano Granato of the left party Potere al Popolo reported from one of the marches.
“It shows that there is a majority in the country that is fighting for Palestine and doing what our government has not dared to do for two years.”
Hundreds of thousands of people have again taken to the streets of Italy in response to a general strike call originally launched by the grassroots union Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) and later joined by some of the country’s largest trade union confederations.

"What is being carried out against Venezuela, is not an operation against drug trafficking but rather, a regime change operation.
For the last 26 years, Venezuela has undergone a profound political transformation successfully asserting sovereignty over the world’s largest proven oil reserves primarily by using revenues to attack decades of poverty and social exclusion through social programs. It also embarked on ending Washington’s historical political influence."

Women and the LGBTQIA+ community have become the faces of resistance against the far-right Salvadoran government.
In a country where transgender women are now required to identify as “very high-risk men”, four transgender women dressed as beauty queens and surrounded by giant bouquets of flowers throw candy to the thousands of participants of this year’s Pride march in San Salvador.
President Nayib Bukele — known as the “millennial president” and an unconditional ally of Donald Trump — has significantly weakened dissent through increased state surveillance, the persecution of critical voices, and laws that benefit emerging elites.

Paraguay:
After several days of roadblocks, Indigenous communities achieved their goal. The protesters demanded the resignation of the president of Paraguayan Institute of Indigenous Affairs (INDI), the restoration of the institution’s headquarters and against recent decisions of the right-wing government of Santiago Peña.
Peña hails from the Colorado Party, one of the oldest parties in Latin America, which, incidentally, was the political base of the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner (1954-1989), one of the longest-serving dictators in 20th-century history..
To better understand this moment of struggle, Peoples Dispatch spoke with Amado Arrieta, a Paraguayan journalist and member of the Popular Party.

Over a hundred volunteers from the Global Sumud Flotilla remain captive in Israel after being kidnapped in international waters by occupation forces during their attempt to break the illegal sea blockade of Gaza. Those who have been released report escalating abuse by Israeli authorities, particularly targeting women and activists of Arab backgrounds, in what is likely to be a campaign to intimidate and prevent others from joining future flotillas.
“From the moment of interception, all activists were held incommunicado, with communication systems having been jammed, some of them subjected to degrading treatment and water cannons,” the Global Sumud Flotilla wrote in a statement. The legal center Adalah, which is providing legal counsel to the flotilla’s crew, echoed these concerns, saying its lawyers were initially prevented from reaching the detainees. As a result, several activists were processed without even having spoken to legal representatives.

Days after Israel illegally intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla and arrested over 400 participants, hundreds have been released from Israeli prisons, where they endured physical and psychological torture. Dozens still remain in detention. Freed GSF participants have emphasized that the message remains the same: Israel must end the siege and genocide on Gaza and free the over 10,000 Palestinian prisoners.

The UN voted to replace Kenya’s mission in Haiti with a new global gang suppression force after 15 months of Kenya’s deployment, a move that exposes the weakness of the mission in restoring order in Haiti.
The Kenya-led Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti is set to wind down following a new United Nations Security Council resolution establishing a larger and considered more comprehensive force, the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) to tackle the worsening insecurity in Haiti.
The development marks the end of a 15-month deployment that began in December 2024, when the first group of Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti with hopes of restoring order to a country ravaged by armed gangs and political instability.

Thousands of shack dwellers, trade unionists, international allies, and community organizers gathered at the Fountain Stadium in Durban to celebrate 20 years of Abahlali baseMjondolo (AbM), the powerful social movement of the poor that has redefined the struggle for land, housing, and dignity in post-apartheid South Africa.
Founded in 2005 by 32 representatives from 12 informal settlements, Abahlali baseMjondolo has grown into one of Africa’s largest and most consistent movements for land and housing justice, now with over 180,000 members in more than 100 branches across five provinces.
From humble beginnings in Durban’s Kennedy Road settlement, AbM has endured two decades of repression, assassinations, and political exclusion, but has survived, grown, and transformed shack settlements into spaces of working communes and collective liberation.

“We demand the end of the genocide and freedom for the Palestinian people,” activists said. “There is no freedom while lives are under attack, solidarity is criminalized, and truth is silenced.”
