Latest rebellions in South Africa: Pics and analysis

24-07-2009 17:49 | Repression | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

The international press has been giving considerable coverage to the locally organised series of increasingly militant rebellions that have been sweeping South Africa. But I see that they are generally using the resolutely anti-political language of 'service delivery protests' to explain what is happening - it reminds me of E.P. Thompson's point about the spasmodic mode of interpreting popular political action.

Zelaya Heads Home to Honduras on the Anniversary of Bolívar’s Birth

23-07-2009 20:05 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Workers' Movements | World

"Presuming that thousands of Hondureños and Hondureñas will flock to the border to accompany their President, a land crossing like this presents various dilemmas to the coup regime, which claims to have 18 criminal charges lined up to imprison Zelaya, but blinked from the opportunity to arrest him on July 5, when it blocked a runway to prevent his airplane from landing. To arrest him, the regime would have to violently break through a multitude of its country's own citizens. If it does arrest Zelaya, he will become an even more powerful symbol from prison inspiring greater resistance to the coup."
