By Casimir Malanda, 9 February 2001Joseph Kabila faces terrible dangers and unforeseen opportunities I`ve lived in Kinshasa the last six months of Kabila. The murder of the President was hanging in the air, so to speak. In view of the anarchy installed at the state, in view of the incompetence and carelessness reigning in the close circles around Mzee, it had to arrive sooner or later. Kabila was condemned by history to fall as a martyr, exactly like Lumumba. The outcome of these two men is so alike that it becomes troublesome. Both men were standing almost alone in their struggle to awaken and mobilise the Congolese people. But the tragedy seemed inevitable since between these two heroes and the people there was an empty gap. And the population was due to assist passively at the slow … [read more]

Call for Support by the Indonesian Institute for the Study of 1965/1966 MassacreSupport our Works: The death toll of the massacre 1965/1966The death toll of the massacre 1965/1966Background General Soeharto`s seize of the Indonesian President Soekarno`s power in 1965 was preceded by the so-called "September 30 Movement" and soon followed by a large-scale brutal massacre of Indonesian leftists. It has been impossible to establish realistically the death-toll resulting from the 1965-1966 massacres, as Soeharto`s military regime has firmly discourage any such efforts. A kind of state terror together with his military and hangmen was exercised to silence public opinion and independent research. The following figures speak for them selves: Encyclopaedia "Britannica" mentions the victims … [read more]

Taking into account that the epidemic has reached disastrous proportions, our government was forced to invoke international patent … [read more]

Vienna, 31/01/01The Antiimperialist Camp denounces the arrest of two of the most important leaders of the popular struggle in Ecuador: Luis Villacà­s Maldonado, National President of the Popular Front and one of the official speakers of the Patriotic Front, as well as Antonio Vargas, the well known leader of the CONAIE (Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador).All the promises of the government of Noboa to the poor people that rose up one year ago against the hunger-politics of the former corrupt government of Jamil Mahuad and even could overthrow it, have proofed to be cheap lies to betray the people, to demobilize and pacify its fights.

Call for the Anti-imperialist Camp 2001, Italy, July 28th – August 5thWill this world survive until 2100?"Within a hundred years from today the planet Earth will be half dead, and so will the human beings." It is not us who are saying this, but the scientists who observe the ongoing processes in the biosphere. The greenhouse effect…—the overheating of the Earth--will provoke irreversible climatic changes. As a consequence, there will be lack of water almost everywhere within only 50 years. Already today more than a fifth of the world`s population is suffering the lack of drinking water while five million people die every year due to drinking of polluted water. The desertification and destruction of the top soil are progressing and seem to be unstoppable. More than two billion … [read more]
