Today, we remember the beginning of the Sudanese revolution. What started as protests against IMF-backed austerity became a mass uprising against 30 years of dictatorship under Omar al-Bashir. Workers, women, and youth organized across the country. Bashir fell, but the military power endured.
Today, amid war, displacement, and hunger, Sudanese resistance committees continue the struggle for bread, dignity, and democracy.
The Sudanese revolution is unfinished, but not over.

🇦🇷Argentine workers win first victory against Milei's neoliberal labor reform
Tens of thousands of workers convened by Argentina's main trade union confederations gathered in front of the Casa Rosada presidential palace to reject the neoliberal labor reforms proposed by right-wing President Javier Milei.
According to workers, the reforms are meant to help big corporations by cutting down workers’ rights and also are disadvantageous to small and medium businesses, in order to support transnational investments. The street mobilization won its first victory by postponing the debate and vote on the reform until February 2026.

If Africa has learned anything from the last century, it’s this: whenever the world’s great powers announce a new “war”, on terror, on drugs, on trafficking, it usually means Africa is about to become someone else’s battlefield again.

There is currently no invasion by any foreign force in our country, and there is no basis for thinking that we represent a threat to peace in the region.
The only and most likely possibility is that we will be invaded by the US government in pursuit of nothing more than the global maintenance of its hegemony at the expense of our resources, our sweat, and our blood, both ours and that of our children.

Resident doctors – formerly known as junior doctors, a term referring to qualified physicians undergoing clinical training – in England are on strike again from December 17 to 22, after the Labour government failed to adequately address concerns over pay and job availability. “Resident doctors need jobs, and when they find those jobs, they need to be paid fairly for them,” the British Medical Association (BMA), which represents tens of thousands of physicians, said in outlining the strike demands.

Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have burnt and buried bodies, likely in the tens of thousands, after massacring civilians while overrunning El Fasher, the last city in Sudan’s western region of Darfur that held out against the paramilitary until late October.
The Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) said in a report published on December 16 that it “assesses to high confidence” that the RSF “engaged in widespread and systematic mass killing” after entering the besieged and starved city on October 26.
Analyzing satellite images showing “clusters of objects consistent with human remains”, “reddish discoloration consistent with blood”, charred earth and dug up ground consistent with the burning and burial of corpses, Yale HRL assesses that RSF has killed and disposed of people “likely in the tens of thousands”.

European Union leaders have agreed to continue fueling the war in Ukraine by providing €90 billion in loans to the Eastern European country over the next two years, secured through joint borrowing – a model they are usually not keen to pursue. The decision was announced at a meeting of the European Council in the early hours of Friday, December 19. The Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia will not participate in the debt.

The disappointment felt by many left-wing supporters in Latin America has been renewed with the recent democratic victory of the far right in Chile. This sentiment is particularly poignant as it reflects the struggles of those who identify politically with progressive ideals.
As disheartening as this reality may be, it is important to remember that history is not a straight line but a series of changing planes and cycles. The processes of emancipation carry on.

Despite numerous splits, the socialist movement embedded itself in Sri Lankan society and made a lasting impact on the polity.
Ninety years ago, on December 18, 1935, a handful of young people came together to establish the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon). Leslie Goonewardena, general secretary of the LSSP from 1935 to 1977, later wrote that the party was founded because “there was a void to be filled”.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange filed a criminal complaint on Tuesday, December 17, against the Nobel Foundation, accusing 30 members of the organization, including its chairwoman and executive director, of involvement in serious crimes under Swedish law. The action challenges the Norwegian Nobel Peace Committee’s decision to award this year’s prize to far-right Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado.
Assange is requesting the immediate freezing of 11 million Swedish kronor (approximately USD 1.18 million) scheduled to be transferred to Machado, arguing that awarding the prize completely distorts the principles expressed in Alfred Nobel’s will, which stipulated that the prize should go to whoever worked for fraternity among nations and the reduction of standing armies.
In the complaint submitted to Sweden’s Economic Crimes Authority and War Crimes Unit, Assange maintains that the selection of María Corina “converted an instrument of peace into an instrument of war.” The legal filing mentions possible crimes including misappropriation of funds, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, as well as financing the crime of aggression. Assange argues that “Machado’s incitement of the largest US military buildup since the Iraq war makes her categorically ineligible.”

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva vehemently condemned US threats of military action against Venezuela. The last time a foreign military power carried out military action against South America was Britain’s aggression against Argentina during the Malvinas War.
Latin American and Caribbean leaders have by and large rejected Trump’s threats against Venezuela and the region and called for the defense of the region as a territory of peace.
