Up until the 19th of August, the Brazilian Amazon Forrest has reportedly experienced about 72.843 fires this year. Compared with the data of the same time period within the year before, with about 39.759 cases, this marks a steep rise. These developments are founded in the renewed aggressiveness with which the big landowners lunge towards opening up fresh land for agricultural production or raising cattle by burning down formerly forested grounds.

By a commentator for Tjen Folket Media

One of the contributors of Tjen Folket Media has written two articles on people’s war where they, under the signature of Ard Kinera, have engaged in a polemic with José Maria Sison. The debate touches on one of the most central questions of the two-line struggle in the international communist movement and Kinera as such goes right into it.

In a huge possession along the Falls Road in Belfast Alex Murphy was laid to rest yesterday. In young years, he was the most junior political prisoner of the republican movement in the notorious Long Kesh prison, only being 15 years old. When British army officers in plain clothes attacked a funeral procession in 1988 by driving the car into the march and starting to shoot, it supposedly was Alex Murphy who killed both officers – at least this is what he was convicted and sentences for life for.

An alliance of various armed organizations of Myanmar's national minorities has carried out several attacks on state and infrastructural targets.

On Tuesday, NRK wrote that police have arrested ten youths in Bogerud in Oslo after an alleged fight.

As usual, there were a number of articles where the police and media agitated against proletarian youth, especially those with immigrant-backgrounds who were singled out by acting Deputy Police Chief Johan Fredriksen.

Minister of Justice Jørgen Kallmyr has shown his fascistic tendencies and in response demands more “discipline” in schools while standing by the statements made by the aforementioned Deputy Police Chief.

Comrades from Ecuador published several statements in early August on the struggle of the masses in this oppressed nation. Since it is a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country in which the main force of the democratic revolution is the poor peasants, the peasants' struggle for their land is also one of the main struggles. In a statement of August 10, the comrades explain the situation of manual mining. There are of 4600 people working there 65% farmers who have undertaken this work instead of their small fields. A prerequisite for this mining is that the land be taken from the poor and middle peasants, for example in the provinces of El Carchi, Esmeraldas and Imbabura in northern Ecuador, where gold is sought. The whole thing is due to the presence of paramilitary troops, who often have connections to the police or military, who are there repressing people. The comrades declare: The rebellion is justified ! No more land for transnational mining companies, landowners and paramilitaries! The land to the poor peasants!
