Tunisia - Unrest in southern tunisian border town of Ben Guardane

Yesterday night the youth of Ben Guardane unexpectedly went out in the streets blocking all the towns accesses (from the east to the direction of libyan border, to the south to the direction to Tataouine southern region and to the north to the direction of Medenine and Zarzis towns) they set on fire wires and wheels car. Today they have announced a general strike in town…

The small town just at 10 km from libyan borer and the main access to the neighbour country is one of the poorest of Tunisia, its population has always lived day by day through inter-border trade and blank market. When the war broke out in Libya in 2012 this trade suffered a set back, in 2016 tunisian men affiliated to Daech coming from Libya attacked the town triyng to conquer it and establish a Caliphate but the heroic people of Ben Guardane counter attacked with any means like stones as the armed forces from the State intervened.

Few days after the prime minister at that time, Chahed, went to Ben Guardane promising a bright future for their people by starting economic investments and opening an industrial zone and so on. After almost 5 years from that visit and after 64 years from indipendence all the promises are still empty and the people of Ben Guardane sill face poverty and underdevelopment.

The town lays next to the region of Tataoine where in the last days a gouvernment delegations went to fill up the demands of the El Kamour struggle comittee that since ta last 16th of July blocked the oil and gas production, In this case too empty promises are yet to be fulfilled.

Afghanistan : Le dilemme d’un régime fantoche abandonné par La cause du peuple

---

---

Plus de six mois après avoir été effectivement forcé à devoir négocier avec les talibans par les États-Unis suivants leur accord avec les talibans, le gouvernement comprador de l’Afghanistan a finalement avancé aux négociations avec les talibans à Doha, au Qatar. Le premier contact entre le gouvernement comprador et les talibans a eu lieu le 12 septembre. Ce processus nommé les « négociations intra-afghanes » a été retardé depuis la signature de l’accord entre les impérialistes étatsuniens et les talibans du 29 février 2020. Plusieurs facteurs ont contribué au délai : la crise électorale entre le président afghan Ashraf Ghani et son opposant, Abdullah Abdullah, le désaccord général du gouvernement afghan avec les conditions imposées par les États-Unis sur lui par l’accord, et surtout la réticence du gouvernement afghan à libérer 5000 prisonniers talibans pour 1000 de leurs prisonniers. La contestation du résultat de l’élection présidentielle par Abdullah, avec sa base de soutien dans le nord, a été fructueuse. Le candidat lié historiquement à la Russie a reçu un rôle central dans l’équipe de négociation du gouvernement en échange pour son soutien de la présidence de Ghani. Le gouvernement souhaite avant tout un cessez-le-feu avec les talibans, par contre l’accord du 29 février a été suivi par une énorme intensification d’attentats par les talibans qui n’attaquent plus les forces d’occupation de la coalition étatsunienne en retrait progressif du pays. Le 22 juin, le gouvernement a déclaré la semaine la plus sanglante dans la guerre de 19 ans : 422 attaques dans 32 provinces, 291 soldats afghans tués et 550 blessés, 42 civils tués et 105 blessés. Les talibans ont aussi déjà commencé une offensive sur une ville, Lashkar Gah, la capitale de la province sud de Helmand, qui est un bastion des talibans. Le chef d’État-Major des armées, Mark Milley, souhaite préserver une présence étatsunienne plus longue pour répondre à l’assaut des talibans, mais le président Trump a déclaré le retrait des soldats avant Noël pour renforcer sa campagne électorale. Mais d’une manière ou d’une autre, les États-Unis abandonnent le vulnérable régime et donc il ne lui reste pas de choix que d’honorer l’échange de prisonniers imposé par l’accord en espérant que le régime instauré par les envahisseurs étatsuniens soit sauver à la table de négociation. Au mois d’aout, les talibans avaient déjà libéré leurs 1000 prisonniers et le gouvernement avait libéré 5100 prisonniers. Pourtant, le gouvernement avait refusé de libérer 400 prisonniers sur la liste de prisonniers des talibans en raison d’accusations de crimes graves. Le gouvernement a convoqué une Loya Jirga (une assemblée organisée selon les coutumes pachtos pour des décisions à l’échelle nationale) afin de libérer les 400 prisonniers en ajoutant des conditions souhaitées, notamment que les prisonniers libérés ne rejoignent pas le combat.

Jusqu’à maintenant, les négociations à Doha sont seulement à l’étape de déterminer les modalités et la programmation des négociations à venir, mais la position faible du gouvernement est déjà évidente. Le gouvernement afghan n’a pas eu son mot à dire dans l’accord dans l’accord USA-Talibans et avec la perte du soutien militaire de la coalition étatsunienne, le gouvernement comprador doit se précipiter à la table de négociation craignant une défaite militaire par les talibans. Ces compradors présentent les négociations comme une occasion historique pour finalement mettre fin à des décennies de guerre plus

PREFACE TO A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CRITIQUE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY 

 ...In the social production of their existence, men enter into definite, necessary relations, which are independent of their will, namely, relations of production corresponding to a determinate stage of development of their material forces of production. The totality of these relations of production constitutes the economic structure of society, the real foundation on which there arises a legal and political superstructure and to which there correspond definite forms of social consciousness. The mode of production of material life conditions the social, political and intellectual life-process in general. It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but on the contrary it is their social being that determines their consciousness. At a certain stage of their development, the material productive forces of society come into conflict with the existing relations of production or -- what is merely a legal expression for the same thing -- with the property relations within the framework of which they have hitherto operated. From forms of development of the productive forces these relations turn into their fetters. At that point an era of social revolution begins. With the change in the economic foundation the whole immense superstructure is more slowly or more rapidly transformed. In considering such transformations it is always necessary to distinguish between the material transformation of the economic conditions of production, which can be determined with the precision of natural science, and the legal, political, religious, artistic or philosophic, in short, ideological, forms in which men become conscious of this conflict and fight it out. Just as one does not judge an individual by what he thinks about himself, so one cannot judge such an epoch of transformation by its consciousness, but, on the contrary, this consciousness must be explained from the contradictions of material life, from the existing conflict between the social forces of production and the relations of production. A social order never perishes before all the productive forces for which it is broadly sufficient have been developed, and new superior relations of production never replace older ones before the material conditions for their existence have matured within the womb of the old society. Mankind thus inevitably sets itself only such tasks as it can solve, since closer examination will always show that the task itself arises only when the material conditions for its solution are already present or at least in the process of formation. . The bourgeois relations of production are the last antagonistic form of the social process of production -- antagonistic not in the sense of an individual antagonism but of an antagonism growing out of the social conditions of existence of individuals; but the productive forces developing in the womb of bourgeois society simultaneously create the material conditionsfor the solution of this antagonism...
