Fighting Apartheid in the Dominican Republic is Essential!

Socialist Workers’ Movement of the Dominican Republic

Governments and their allies are using the International Decade for People of African Descent (UN) to whitewash and conceal their capitalist policies of exploitation and oppression. The results of the first decade (2015-2024) in the Dominican Republic are negative, and we must approach the new decade beginning in 2025 with a critical eye. Only through genuine political struggle in the streets, mobilization, and the strengthening of solidarity among peoples against governments can we move toward the reparations, justice, and dignity needed by Afro-descendant communities in the Dominican Republic and throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Prophet Muhammad as a Champion of Women’s Rights

V A Mohamad Ashrof

Prophet Muhammad can be understood as a pioneering advocate for women’s rights and dignity, radically challenging the entrenched patriarchal norms of 7th-century Arabia. This interpretation is derived from a close re-reading of the Quran, moving beyond historically dominant androcentric exegeses to uncover an inherent egalitarian ethos within the scripture. The paper explores how the Quran established women’s spiritual equality, social agency, economic independence, and legal personhood. Through a rigorous examination of Quranic verses, their context, and their overarching ethical objectives, this analysis positions Muhammad not as an icon of patriarchy, but as a catalyst for profound gender reform, whose message holds enduring relevance for the pursuit of gender justice.

Western Sahara: Colonialism, labor and imperialist complicity

Isabel Lourenço

In 2025, we mark 50 years since Morocco’s illegal occupation of Western Sahara — a colonial occupation sustained by a repressive military apparatus, a deliberate policy of demographic substitution, and, above all, a web of international complicity. It is a colony in the full Marxist sense of the term: a territory exploited, dominated, and manipulated to serve the economic and geopolitical interests of a metropolis aligned with imperialism.

Propaganda Watch: Kagame Is Not Traoré

Ann Garrison

A recurring social media trope casts Rwandan President Paul Kagame as a defiant African hero, like Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré, resisting the West’s dictates, but nothing could be further from the truth. Anti-imperialists, socialists, and peace and justice communities across Africa and the world are inspired by the newly federated Alliance of Sahel States and by its leaders, especially Burkina Faso’s charismatic Ibrahim Traoré. Seeing this groundswell of support, Paul Kagame’s propagandists have rushed to liken him to Traoré. Others may sincerely imagine a likeness that doesn’t in fact exist.

AI is More Con than Reality
