It's a small mercy that: "The Viva Palestina convoy is now steaming towards Egypt after facing down all efforts to delay or stop its mission to bring relief to the besieged people of Gaza" (Alice Howard; Viva Palestina). It's a large crime, a crime against humanity that Egypt, a client state of Israel and the US, cold-bloodedly obstructed vital humanitarian aid reaching the desperate Gazans and brutally assaulted the Gaza Freedom Marchers and prevented them from breaking the medieval siege of that suffering land. read full story / add a comment

(CAIRO) Gaza Freedom Marchers yesterday, 1st January 2010, approved a declaration aimed at accelerating the global campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israeli Apartheid. Roughly 1400 activists from 43 countries converged in Cairo on their way to Gaza to join with Palestinians marching to break Israel's illegal siege. They were prevented from entering Gaza by the Egyptian authorities. As a result, the Freedom Marchers remained in Cairo. They staged a series of nonviolent actions aimed at pressuring the international community to end the siege as one step in the larger struggle to secure justice for Palestinians throughout historic Palestine. The following declaration arose from those actions: read full story / add a comment

The following eyewitness report of yesterday's Gaza solidarity demonstration in Egypt. The author, Mary Hughes, was born in Bolton, England and immigrated to Canada, then to the United States. She is a member of the Writer's Guild in Los Angeles. She's been to the occupied West Bank six times, and this was meant to be her first to Gaza.

The republican network for unity (R.N.U.) would like to thank all the people and organisations who supported our aims, objectives and campaigns throughout the year of 2009. We move into this new decade as a young, vibrant, determined and highly organised republican socialist alternative with support growing for our position of putting the working class first throughout the 32 counties and beyond. As an organisation the network supports the concept and practice of real community empowerment free from all selfish political interests. The struggle for a 32 county socialist republic lies at the heart of the networks ethos and work. read full story / add a comment
