Marcinho’s murder outside of his home in the Chapada Diamantina region, at the age of 34, in front of his son, and through three gunshot wounds in his head, is most revolting. It is the latest addition to the growing list of peasant leaders and activists in Brazil, many belonging to the progressive MST, who are being murdered for fighting for land, life and justice for the landless.



O livro abriu caminhos e inspirou o povo filipino aos milhões para in­gressar no PCF, no NEP, na Frente Democrática Nacional das Filipinas (NDFP) e nas organizações de massas, bem como para apoiar órgãos do poder político do governo democrático-popular.

Para espalhar a sua influência entre as mas­sas, o livro foi traduzido e publicado nos diversos idiomas falados nas Filipinas, bem como em línguas estrangei­ras.

The rebellion is supported by the broad masses of the Yemeni people who have been subjected to decades of oppression by dictators supported by the US and Saudi Arabia

The Saudi Arabia aggression started in March 2015 to re-install the puppet regime of Abed-Rabbu Mansour Hadi which was overthrown by Houthi rebels that seized Sana’a, the Yemeni capital in 2014.

Prior events in the chain include the escalation of all-out war under Oplan Kapayapaan, frenzied extrajudicial killings in both urban and rural areas, extension of the duration of martial law in Mindanao until the end of 2018, the threat of martial law nationwide, the termination of peace negotiations with the NDFP and the labelling of the CPP and NPA and suspected supporters as “terrorists.”
