against G20 - Brazil - Na “Capital do G20”, a educação toma as ruas


DSCN4880

No dia 19/11, ocorreu o ato dos profissionais da educação, convocado pelo o Sindicato dos Profissionais da Educação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SEPE-RJ) em meio ao criminoso G20. A manifestação contou com centenas de trabalhadores, estudantes e professores. Mesmo com ostensiva repressão, a manifestação caminhou de laranjeiras até o CIEP, localizado na Glória.  O ato é expressão de uma das respostas dos trabalhadores da educação contra a atual investida da precarização da educação, promovida em menos de 2 meses, pelo governo reacionário e recém reeleito de Eduardo Paes.  

No dia 12/11, o SEPE-RJ, aprovou em uma assembleia geral, com mais de 2000 professores, uma greve, para iniciar no dia 25/11. A greve é uma contundente resposta dos professores ao Projeto de Lei Complementar (PLC) 186/2024, que irá aumentar o tempo de hora aula de 50 minutos para 1 hora, obrigando os professores a darem mais aulas sem receber, tendo que “compensar” para ganhar o mesmo salário. Além disso, segundo o próprio sindicato a PL “acaba com a licença especial de todos os servidores; coloca em risco o formato atual das férias da educação, entre outros.”.

Durante o ato, a Polícia Militar (PM) em conjunto com a Guarda Municipal, com aparato repressivo desmedidamente ostensivo seguiu e reprimiu os manifestantes do início até o fim. Estavam presentes, no mínimo 10 viaturas da PM no local. No início do ato, impediram que o carro de som saísse pelas ruas. Mais tarde, tentaram impedir que o próprio ato saísse, e frustrados com insistência da manifestação, os policiais cercaram o protesto além de rasgarem a faixa da nossa organização com os dizeres “G20 Mata, Palestina Resiste! Rebelar-se é Justo”. Mesmo com tal desmobilização da PM, o ato seguiu entoando palavras de ordem como: “Que contradição, tem dinheiro pro G20 mas não têm pra Educação!”.

É importante notar que do dia 14/11 até o dia 21/11 o estado do Rio de Janeiro está sob a Garantia de Lei e da Ordem (GLO), uma lei que sobreviveu a ditadura militar e dá temporariamente o controle militar de uma área ao exército. Sobre isso é curioso notar como o Rio de Janeiro reforça militarmente boa parte da cidade, fecha 5 estações de metrô, muda o funcionamento da cidade por alguns dias, gastando mais de 140 milhões, apenas para garantir o encontro e a segurança dos representantes do imperialismo. Enquanto que, para o povo que vive na cidade, não se faz um mínimo esforço para melhorar suas vidas, pelo contrário, cada vez mais aumenta a repressão contra as favelas do RJ, a educação é cada vez mais precarizada, o desemprego aumenta e os serviços públicos, como sistema de saúde, cada vez mais sucateados. Ironicamente, a mesma cidade que abastece a PM com fuzis de empresa Israelense, é aquela que sedia o evento mundial do G20, do qual uma das discussões é a resolução “pacífica” do Genocídio Palestino.


US-Marcos regime prioritizes military task force “Ayungin” amid successive typhoons devastating local communities





November 21, 2024

The National Democratic Front of the Philippines International Office (NDFP IO) condemns the US government’s creation of their so-called “Ayungin Task Force”, aiming to enhance military interoperability between US and Philippine forces in the South China Sea, at a time when thousands of Filipinos are suffering from the devastating impacts of consecutive typhoons.

While the US government justifies this move as part of ongoing military cooperation under the Mutual Defense Board-Security Engagement Board (MDB-SEB) and the Bantay Dagat framework, it is clear that the real priority of the US is to further its imperialist interests in the region, rather than addressing the urgent humanitarian crisis that has unfolded in many parts of Luzon in the past few months. Putting US forces in Ayungin intensifies tensions between China and the Philippines with the latter obviously being used as a US pawn to provoke Chinese armed response. The creation of a military task force focused on military operations in the Ayungin shoal serves the US imperialist agenda and puts the Filipino masses at risk of destruction greater than that wrought by any supertyphoon.


The NDFP IO stands in solidarity with the Filipino people who continue to bear the brunt of successive disasters exacerbated by climate change and the inept response of the Marcos Jr. government. While thousands of Filipinos are left to suffer in the aftermath of six typhoons that hit the country in a month, the US government prioritizes military buildup in the South China Sea, showing a shocking disregard for the urgent humanitarian needs of the Filipino people.

Thousands of Filipinos are still reeling from the devastation, with entire communities displaced, lives lost, and essential infrastructure destroyed. Despite the dire needs of affected communities, the US-Marcos regime continues to invest in military escalation instead of urgently directing resources toward humanitarian aid and disaster response. More troubling is how the US, in collusion with the Marcos Jr. administration, has been using “disaster response” as a pretext to justify continued combat operations in Albay and many other places across the country.

The NDFP IO calls on the Filipino people to reject this dangerous focus on military cooperation with the US and instead demand immediate compensation and aid for the victims of typhoons and flooding. The Filipino people deserve to have their needs prioritized – shelter, food, healthcare, and genuine support for their recovery – not to be further subjected to geopolitical maneuvers in the midst of devastation and calamity.

CPI (Maoist) Let us raise our voices against the establishment of the Indian Army Maneuvering range in Maad! - ICSPWI info

 COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)
Central Committee
Press Release

 
Let us steadfastly stand with the Maad people who are firmly opposing the decision to handover their lands and forest to the Indian Army!
Let us oppose the involvement of the Indian Army in the ongoing genocidal war in the name of Operation Kagaar


Dear Friends and Comrades,


For the last 10 months, the tribal regions of Central and Eastern India have been witnessing an unprecedented genocidal attacks in the name of Operation Kagaar and Operation Clean. The Indian state is with war, not with some external forces but with its own people since more than two decades. At present, according to the ruling classes, this
war has reached its "final and decisive stage". The Maad region has been home to the Madia tribe long before therewas a country called India. According to the Indian constitution, Madia tribe comes under the PVTG (ParticularVulnerable Tribal Group) category. In this vast swathe, surrounded with hills, dense forest, and perennial rivers, people are living here in dispersed village settlements with small human population. This people are living in complete harmony with nature and practicing slash and burning cultivation method since generations. The Indian state is veryeager to take over this vast region under its control to establish army maneuvering range since last more than a decade. 

With the objective of eliminating the CPI (Maoist) Party by March 2026, the central government under the
leadership of Hindutva BJP has taken very disastrous decision to establish immediately the army maneuvering range in the Maad region. For this purpose, it has asked the people to vacate their villages and forest for the army's services.
The CPI (Maoist) condemns in strong words the nefarious and fascist design of the BJP government to establishment army maneuvering range in the Maad region and appeals the pro- people and democratic forces to oppose this decision of the government.
The central government has decided to establish a maneuvering range of the Indian army in the Maad region of Narayanpur district of Chattisgarh. For this, a survey of 54, 543 hectares of land between Sonpur and Garpa villages in Maad is going on railroads. In the same manner, the revenue department officials are doing survey of the people's property, who are strongly opposing it. Right from 2011, efforts for setting up army training camp in the revolutionary movement area are continuing. But it could not materialize till now due to the massive people's militant movement against such design.

 It is important to note that the Indian State in its war on people has been using the Indian army
against the revolutionary movement and the Maoist Party in several disguised forms, since more than two decades.
Apart from the Indian army, the usage of Indian Air force (IAF) and its services are being widely used by the Indian State for its war on people. The special forces like Garud, belonging to IAF and NSG (National Security Guards) are being deployed to fight against the PLGA and the revolutionary people. The revolutionary movement areas today resemble as one of the highest militarized place on the planet. More than 6 lakh of para-military personnel are on grounds waging an unjust war. Particularly in Bastar region the ratio of armed personnel to people is 9 to 1.
The ongoing military operations are creating white terror in the minds and hearts of the revolutionary people.It will be not wrong to say that "democracy" in India is practised by the ruling classes at gun-point. Unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) manufactured in US and Israel are also being used on a vast scale. They are not only used for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes but also for aerial bombings on tribal hamlets and revolutionary guerilla camps in central and eastern regions of India. There are also the involvement of DRDO (Defence Research and DevelopmentOrganization) and ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) in the fight against the revolutionary movement under the leadership of CPI(Maoist).

India: CASR STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE BANNING OF MOOLWASI BACHAO MANCH!

 

India: CASR STRONGLY CONDEMNS THE BANNING OF MOOLWASI BACHAO MANCH!


On 30th October 2024, the Home Ministry of Chhattisgarh has issued a circular which states that Moolwasi Bachao Manch is an unlawful, anti-development organisation and has been banned under the draconian Chhattisgarh Special Public Security Act (CSPSA), without citing any concrete reasons for the same.

Moolwasi Bachao Manch is a democratic mass organisation of adivasi peasants in Bastar fighting against corporate loot and militarision, in particular, they have been fighting against the establishment of camps and been at the forefront of the anti-camp movement. These military camps only benefit the state and not the adivasis-peasants as they clear the way for capitalists to plunder the country’s resources. For this reason, the state has been continuously harrassing and suppressing the organisation which raises the democratic voices of the people. The organisation has been exercising its fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression and fighting against the state’s activities which harm the lifestyle, livelihood and culture of the adivasis. Over the  past 6 months, numerous activists of the organisation have been kidnapped  under the pretence of detention. Further, many activists associated with the organisation, including Sarju Tekam and Suneeta Pottam, have been arrested under the false charge of being members of CPI Maoist. Numerous activists have also been tortured in the state’s illegal custody.

This is part of the State’s attempt to completely dissolve Moolwasi Bachao Manch, and to clamp down on the democratic right to dissent of the Adivasis. The banning of the organisation is part of the state’s intensified campaign against Moolwasi Bachao Manch. By banning the organisation, the state will find it easier to clamp down on the activists working for the rights and voice of the exploited and oppressed groups like adivasis with even further impunity. By banning the organisation, the state is able to exercise extra-ordinary powers of the draconian security law.

The state has also been tagging all of these activists as Maoists, in an attempt to criminalize voices that speak truth to power. The State’s intimidatory tactics and attempt to clamp down on dissent are against the constitutional rights that each citizen has in this country. The state is attacking those activists who utilize the rights that exist to ensure the protection of Adivasis. These are the individuals who talk about the encounter killing of Adivasis and the state violence on Adivasis and by attacking the voices by talking about the repression, they plan on ensuring the silence of the Adivasis.
CASR urge all democratic minded people and organisation to come together and condemn this  fascist attack on Adivasi Rights organisation.
