Minas Gerais state government has announced in August 6th that 8.000 families that live in land occupations named Vitória, Rosa Leão and Esperança will be displaced from their houses, located in Belo Horizonte. As these families don’t have any other place to go, they are going to resist against the police forces.

War starts here. Nowadays politicians are clear and open about their position: there shall be no more restraint from German ground when it comes to military operations. No more war – a major lesson learned from German history – is outdated. Germany defends its claims to power and secures its wealth by all means.
Militarization of society proceeds on all levels.… Continue reading
We, the ROR groups living in the land controlled by the Israeli government (Kasamba, Yasamba, and Hasamba), and active here against the occupation, capitalism, racism, animal exploitation and patriarchy in general, would like to send a call for solidarity.For the past two weeks the government here has been committing new-old war crimes against the people living in Gaza. This is a direct continuation of the injustice of occupation and war that the Zionist movement has inflicted against the people in this land (most horrifically against Palestinians but not only).… Continue reading

México: The setting in which we, the “Gabina Carrileras”, live. (Samba México)
For many years México has been seen as one of the most violent and corrupted countries in the world. Nowadays (2013) and since the entrance of the “president” Felipe Calderón (FECAL) and his war declaration against drug trafficking in 2006, violence in Mexico has grown beyond all imaginable limits: femicides, disappearances, murders, attacks, shootings in the middle of the streets at daylight, human trafficking, “narcomessages”, and other explicit ways of violence have become part of daily life in Mexico.… Continue reading
