🇦🇷 "Since they didn't kill me, I have to be in prison."
The campaign of lawfare against former president and left-wing leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner continues. An appeals court ratified her guilty sentence in a trumped case full of inconsistencies and errors according to her supporters.
Thousands took to the streets to show their support for the leader of the Kirchnerismo and to let what they call the "Judicial Mafia" know that the Argentinian people support CFK.
CFK's defense will appeal the sentence of six years in prison and the life ban from politics, which seems to be the final goal of the right-wing judges.

Born in Trinidad and Tobago, he moved to the Bronx in his teens and organized with numerous organizations fighting to end racist, capitalist oppression in the United States. His revolutionary work made him a target of state repression and in 1968 he moved to Ghana.

🇳🇪The “Conference in Solidarity with the Peoples of the Sahel” is taking place in Niamey from Nov 19-21. Peoples Dispatch brings forth stories of resilience and resistance of the people of Niger whose success in forcing their former colonizer France on the retreat has inspired Pan-African movements across the continent.
“The successes of the anti-colonial movement in these three countries serve as an example. Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world, is now regarded among the fastest-growing economies in Africa. Mali is today one of the African countries that has become debt-free. That is significant – something worthy of emulation, especially when you consider that most of the countries in the sub-region are burdened with clearly unpayable debts,” said Kwesi Pratt, General Secretary of the Socialist Movement of Ghana.
“It is clear that not all the countries in the region will not follow the same path,” he adds. But what matters, he insists, is the outcome of liberation from neo-colonialism, be it through “so-called democratic elections, mass uprisings, or the military coups” that unfolded in the AES states.
