Call to Action against the G8!

The leaders of the eight richest nations in the world
will be attending the G8 Summit in Gleneagles,
Scotland this July. We want Bush, Blair, and the rest
of them to know that they are not welcome, and they
will be opposed. We must continue the tradition of
mass protests to oppose the G8 and its policies of
poverty, war and imperialism. read full story / add a comment

CUENCA, ECUADOR – By a unanimous vote Ecuador's lawmakers removed President Lucio Gutierrez from office Wednesday and replaced him with Vice President Alfredo Palacio, following days of intensifying street protests.

While the focus of media attention has been on the capital city of Quito, the southern city of Cuenca has been in open rebellion against its former president for the past week. The discontent had been simmering for some time but in the weeks and days before the ouster of Gutierrez it reached a boiling point. Daily, students manned street blockades and fought pitched battles with police over control of the streets while across town the main park overflowed every night with a diverse array of people who had come to protest the president and government. read full story / add a comment

While it is clear that the US and coalition forces have been killing more civilians than combatants and that more civilians have been killed by the US and coalition forces than by guerrillas, questions stilll remain.

First of all, do Iraqi guerrillas themselves in fact attack more civilians than combatants, as the corporate media regularly suggests? read full story / add a comment

The _*unrecognised*_ Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus has a presidential election today.

The self-proclaimed republic was declared in 1983 in the the northern region of the island which the Turkish Army occupied back in 1974.

Turkey is the world's only country to have recognized it. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (bit bigger than the arabic league but the mint tea isn't as food) granted it observer member status under the name of "Turkish Cypriot State". read full story / add a comment

1931 the 14th of April was declared the 2nd Republic of Spain.

In its short life it brought hope, inspiration, creative solutions, the values of fraternity, liberty, equality to countless people who had lived in near feudal conditions through dictatorship.
It's "firsts" were many-
free education, free health care, over 50% of the arable land organised in autonomous collectives,
the first parliamentary representation by anarchists, the first political radio broadcasts, the first Catalan & Basque republics were declared as an associate component within it's state architecture.

All too quickly it fell, as the first victim of European fascism. read full story / add a comment
