After more then 13 years, the so-called “United Nations Stabilization Mission In Haiti” ended just four days ago, on the 15th of October. When UN forces took over Haiti in 2004 it was amidst political turmoil. Massive demonstrations against the government took place and US imperialism had already lain the ground work, openly deploying special forces in the country. After 13 years of de-facto occupation of the country the situation for the people has become not much better: Instead of the “relief” and “stabilization” the UN only brought cholera, gang shout-outs and an increase of prostitution to Haiti.

On the 12th of October students from several public universities of Colombia marched to defend the right to education. They denounced the actions of the state that push private universities with public resources, with resources intended to support the public universities. In Medellín several youth tried to enter the Alpujarra Administrative Center, resulting in clashes with the police.
The comrades taking part in the mobilisation also highlighted important elements, amongst other things "by overcoming the limits of bourgeois legality, two tendencies present themselves: those who reject the way of creating facts and propose to keep the struggle in the narrow legal framework, and those who want to go further, since they understand that rights can only be conquered this way."
We document some photos of the mobilisation from the comrades of columbia:

Two officers of the Peruvian Special Operations National Police were annihilated by Maoist fighters of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), led by the Communist Party of Peru (PCP). The actions took place in Huanta, on the 8th and 9th of October.
In a communiqué entitled Communist greetings for the past dates and the red month of October, the PCP claims the action and denounces the monopoly of the press. “They are paid and guided by intelligence, so they impute the armed actions of the PCP as subversive remnants or narco-terrorists,”
We publish an inofficial translation of the declaration of the Communist Party of Peru.
