BREAD REVOLUTIONS -THE TAX INGREDIENT

Bread is at the heart of politics across the world. It represents labour, life and livelihoods. Ruling classes down the ages have always offered ‘bread and circuses’ to keep a lid on mass discontent over unpopular policies. Kenya’s President William Ruto seems to have skipped a lesson on keeping citizens pacified when he attempted to ram through unpopular IMF-backed tax hikes, including a proposed 16% hike on bread. The IMF had warned Ruto’s administration that implementing steep tax hikes would spark civil unrest but urged the president to push ahead anyway. It set off a series of violent protests in which police officers reportedly killed more than 60. Ruto relented and declined to sign the bill. However, parts of the bill are reportedly being sneaked in.

DRC TO PALESTINE: GLENCORE’S GLOBAL WEB OF DESTRUCTION

If you want an example of how a multinational can destroy local communities worldwide, Glencore is probably as good as any.

The Swiss-based commodity trader and miner helps fuel the g*nocide in Gaza by selling Israel coal from South Africa and Columbia. Elsewhere, it makes millions from the extraction of minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, corrupt deals have seen it avoid DRC taxes, and its activities have left a trail of environmental destruction.

William Sakawa looks at the global web of suffering brought by one conglomerate and the need for a unified response.
