On the 17th and 18th of December the EU-Africa Summit was held in Vienna (Austria) under the Presidency of the EU council by Austria. Various activities were made in protest against the summit of the imperialist exploiters and oppressors. Struggling anti imperialists and activists from African migrants were part of these protests and showed the justified slogan „EU: Hands off Africa!“
 
On the 17th of December there was a strong demonstration which was dominated by anti imperialist slogans like „EU, China, USA – Hands off Africa!“. The „Alliance against the plundering of Africa“ and especially it‘s anti imperialist activists gave a lively and struggling expression to this demonstration. On the second day of the summit there was an activity of migrant activists from the D.R. Kongo against the summit and especially against the president Paul Kagame of Ruanda. They expressed that for example the Smartphones which are used in the „Western Countries“ are paid for with the blood of the Congolese peoples and that the EU is one of the main actors in this bloody exploitation. At this activity there was a good unity between activists from Kongo and anti imperialist activists from Austria, which is an important step forward to joint protests and struggle against imperialist aggression and exploitation.
 
These actions and protests against the EU-Africa summit are an important sign against Chauvinism and for the importance of international solidarity. Bourgeois media try to hide the exploitation and suppression of the African masses, as well as by „left“ activists and organizations. This solidarity and the joint struggle of African and Austrian activists is an important step in the struggle for the slogan „Imperialists out of Africa“. There was also a banner with the slogan „For the new-democratic revolution!“. Against all the imperialist cry of „development aid“ and „underdeveloped countries“, only the struggle for the new-democratic revolution will bring real independence from imperialism!

The filmed record shows the vibrant peasant demonstration that brought together more than a thousand peasants in the municipality of Seringueiras (RO), on 10/18/2018, and denounced the criminal threat of ownership repossession by INCRA against Enilson Ribeiro Camp.

Recently, the second part of a short documentary that shows the situation of the struggle for land in Ariquemes was published by A Nova Democracia website.
 
The area of 420 alqueires in the municipalities of Rio Pardo and Ariquemes was occupied by peasant families in 2000. The peasants suffered three ownership repossession by the repression apparatuses of the old state. The video shows many peasants speaking about the daily struggle for production, they show the ruins of their houses that were destroyed by the state, the great amount of production they can get from the land, the will they have to own a piece of land to produce and develop the economy for the local cities, and most importantly that the path of struggle is the only path to guarantee their right to the land and how it changed after they started struggling under the banner of the Poor Peasants League (LCP) and stopped waiting for the Agrarian Reform Institution.

Cape Town: Since two months the workers from „MyCiTI“, an outsourced company by the city of Cape Town, are on strike. Still more than 200 workers are striking and other workers show their solidarity. Their demands are higher wages, better working conditions and not being employed by „outsourced companies“, but again by the city. They also demand to speak with the new mayor Don Plato. The company and union representatives call the strike „illegal“, so they provoked violence against the workers and want to brake the solidarity.

On December 3rd the CPI (Maoist) declared their solidarity and support with plantation workers in Nilambur. The workers who daily work their backs off on the cashew and rubber plantations are mainly tribal people. They represent the oppressed and exploited in India. They are forced, especially in the harvest season, to work countless overtime hours that are not paid. The capitalists constantly threaten to dismiss them if the workers do not bow to their will. And now they are announcing their justified protest against the exploiters, what of course must be supported by the Maoists and must be led by the Communist party into revolutionary paths.

In the following, we mirror a video send to us by the media collective of "Kang Scheng Productions" who have gathered material from the "Yellow Jackets" Movement in France and footage from militant actions in the support of the maoist Communist Party of France and the Young Revolutionaries taken during actions in the FRG. Amidst the highest "Level of Terror Alert" in France, which of cause found its repercussions in the neighboring FRG  with dramatic increase in police presence, arbitraty roadblocks and police checkpoints as well as hightend surveillance and alertness of the repressive forces in general, activists in several cities made a number of action in support of the struggle of our class brothers and sisters in France.

Prolétaires de tous les pays, unissez-vous!
