Colombia: Killings of Human Rights Defenders Continue

Posted on by ellipsism

At least 85 human rights defenders were murdered in Colombia in the first half of 2023.
During the same period, the Somos Defensores information system recorded 466 violent attacks against 438 people. In 25% of assaults and 18% of murders, the victims were women. The paramilitaries of the Clan del Golfo, also known as the Autodefensas Gaitanistas de Colombia (AGC), are the main perpetrators of the attacks.
The murders continue as Colombia’s new leftist president Gustavo Petro struggles to control the far right state forces, being the first left wing president in Colombia’s history.
Colombia’s government and the rebel group known as FARC-EMC on Monday signed a three-month cease-fire and formally began peace talks, as President Gustavo Petro tries to bolster his plans to pacify rural areas ahead of regional elections that will take place at the end of October.

The talks with the FARC-EMC are part of President Petro’s total peace strategy, which includes negotiating with various armed groups.

Colombia’s government in June signed a 6-month cease-fire with the National Liberation Army, the country’s largest remaining guerrilla group.

Athens,Greece:Taking responsibility for a vicious inflammatory attack 24/9/23 on Eurobank in Athens by Anarchists

Posted on by ellipsism

Taking responsibility for a vicious inflammatory attack on Eurobank in Athens by Anarchists

Every day power reveals its true face to us, oppressing and plundering our lives. So, in response, in the early hours of Sunday 24/9/2023 we carried out a simultaneous, disruptive and incendiary attack on a Eurobank branch on Evelpidon Street.

Technological sophistication and the militarization of urban tissues have formed a grid of generalized surveillance and monitoring of our movements. Security systems, continuous patrols, constant forces of ELAS officers, (Greek police)targeting and incessant surveillance are the methods through which power is unleashed.

Another method, which intensifies the regime of technological autocracy, is also the new identity cards which include fingerprints and precise biometric data, thus constituting another arrow in the system’s quiver.

This climate of rot and misery is also confirmed by the new “anti-worker” bill, which legalizes 13 hours of slavery, “alternating” hours and outlaws strikes. It is therefore clear that living conditions in prison societies are becoming increasingly difficult.

Our minds and hearts could not fail to include those who are confined within the cells of bourgeois democracy, the visible prisons. Within the walls, the prisoners are waging a struggle of maximum alliance against the new penal code by carrying out hunger strikes and rationing.

Therefore, those who do not actively defy the system and power in general are equally as  guilty as the oppressors, thus perpetuating our enslavement.

We propose counter-attack by every means, up to and including the demolition of the last prison, “visible and invisible”, and practical solidarity with the individuals who are under the fire of power.

Arson Attack in Solidarity with the Prison Struggle in Athens, Greece

Posted on by ellipsism

Claim of Responsibility (Athens)

We claim responsibility for the arson of a vehicle belonging to the municipality of Kaisariani (a town in eastern Athens) at midnight on September 26th in an aggressive display of solidarity with the struggle that prisoners all over Greece have been fighting for the last month against the new law announced by the Minister of Justice Florides and the arbitrary actions of the prosecutor’s office of Lamia.

The government being in a panic, unable to manage the crises that have arisen immediately after its re-election, tries to satisfy its conservative audience by attacking the prisoners once again, knowing that the wider society is permanently apathetic towards them.

No squat evacuation, no tightening of alcohol laws, no ministerial resignation and no Kasselakis breakfast* will hide or justify those murdered by the state this summer. We will be here to remind you!

Immediate satisfaction of the prisoners’ demands!

Immediate release of Dimitris Koufontinas and Nikos Maziotis!

Solidarity with the occupations!

******

*Translation note: Reference to the Greek media obsession of late with Stefanos Kasselakis, the new leader of SYRIZA, and what he eats for breakfast.

 

 

Tesla in flames -Switch Off – the system of destruction! (Frankfurt, Germany)

Posted on by ellipsism

Tesla in flames

The International Motor Show (IAA) was held in Munich last week. At this summer show, all manner of multinationals were once again able to show off their gleaming, beautiful cars and congratulate themselves on their economic success in their air-conditioned conference rooms, limousines and exhibition halls.

At the same time, this summer has once again been full of fires. In Rhodes. In Portugal. In Maui (island of Hawaii). At the same time, many people’s homes were flooded. In Slovenia and Austria.
Many people’s lives were shattered. These deadly catastrophes have many causes, and the IAA is just one of them. We say Switch off the system of destruction!

So we torched a few new Tesla cars this evening in Frankfurt. In salute to the Munich protests. One of many attacks on the destructive automotive industry.

A hundred queer anarchist criminals turned a golf course into a public sex forest.

Posted on by ellipsism

Blue flashing lights pass by, oblivious to our collective trespass. A hole in the fence, hotties passing through, passing into each other. A new world cums into being, a rupture on the leisure pastures of the rich. Cruising utopia, at least for a night. Queers writhing over each other, defiling one another. Sweet melodies accompany soft caresses, the sound of piss gurgling beside a couple kissing. Determined fuckers splayed out on tarps. The line between criminality and sensuality? Sorry she’s not in tonight.

We perverted Chicago’s Marovitz golf course, had a great night doing it. Imagine the next day, a confounded golfer cautiously lifting a damp towel between two fingers, realizing all at once, their eyes passing over the sex litter drying on the sunny green.

We did this for ourselves, but also to express solidarity with the intractable freaks who held down the Weelaunee forest. Since the very first fiery attacks carried out by queers in defense of that place, we’ve laughed and cried and raged with our feral siblings. If we only defend, we end up with our backs against the wall. All it takes is some boltcutters, encrypted messaging, and trusted friends to open up new fronts in the war for the wild. No more empty rhetoric around ‘territorial struggle’ without a total re-imagining of the terrain. We carved the chaos star into the sand bunker to remind that the forest is a propulsive utopia, spreading in all directions!

Hamburg (Germany): sabotaging the freight traffic of one of Europe’s largest ports

Posted on by ellipsism

Hamburg : sabotaging the freight traffic of one of Europe’s largest ports.

[On the night of Thursday September 7 to Friday September 8, a triple sabotage attack was carried out on the rail freight traffic of one of Europe’slargest ports (Hamburg ranks just behind Rotterdam and Antwerp in terms of tonnage). At around 2.40 a.m., a cable fire was reported on the rail bypass north of the city, at Deelwisch Street. Then at around 3 a.m., a second fire was reported to the southeast on a railroad line in the Walter-Rudolphi-Weg area of Allermöhe, and finally a third at around 3.40 a.m. directly on the Hamburger Hafenbahn line at Heykenaukamp. In each case, signalling and communication cables located in shafts along the tracks were destroyed by the arson attacks.

As well as impacting container train traffic to and from the Port, the sabotage also affected long-distance passenger trains, particularly between Germany’s two largest cities (Hamburg and Berlin), where on Friday 11 trains were completely cancelled, 17 were partially cancelled and 21 were significantly delayed. Passenger rail traffic will not return to normal until Sunday, and needless to say, this sabotage has caused an outcry across the Rhine from the authorities, with Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing, for example, castigating “climate extremists” (Klimaextremisten) who “have lowered their inhibition threshold yet again” with “such attacks, which constitute a form of terrorism”.
Below is a translation from the German of the communique issued on the same day (September 8) on de.indymedia].

Riot Against Anti-IRA Police Operation in Northern Ireland

Posted on by ellipsism

Sixteen police officers were seriously injured following riots in the city of Derry, Northern Ireland, after bricks, paint and Molotov cocktails were thrown at them in the Stewarts Terrace area of Rosemount. The demonstrators were opposing police forces who were conducting searches during which firearms, grenades and explosives were seized and three people arrested. They are suspected of being linked to the New IRA.

Meanwhile, a 50-year-old woman, who was arrested in Derry on Friday during searches during which police recovered a number of items, has been released. Police appear to have used drones to track key individuals suspected of being linked to the New IRA for several weeks to plan searches and locate weapons depots.

Fighting Between Sahrawi Resistance Group and Moroccan Occupation Forces in Western Sahara

Posted on by ellipsism

The units of the People’s Army of Sahrawi Liberation (APLS) led new attacks against the entrenched posts of the Moroccan occupation forces in the regions of Ben Zegga and Lagtitra (Haouza sector), and against the 31st and 41st posts of the enemy alert in Targant and Arbib El Gaa in the same sector. APLS units had also carried out attacks in the region of Agouira Ould Ablal and Aguerarat El Farsig in the Mahbes sector, and against the 7th base of the Moroccan occupier in the Aousserd sector.

Already on Monday, the APLS had attacked Moroccan positions in the Aousserd sector, targeting their entrenchment in the regions of Aguelibat El Agaya and the south of Aguelibat El Agaya. The occupation forces replied to the APLS raids by air strikes. The head of the sixth military region, Abba Ali Hamudi, member of the National Polisario Secretariat, was thus killed with three other fighters in the Mahbes region, by a drone attack that Morocco bought in Israel.

During the Trump administration, the US government worked to normalize relations between Morocco and Israel in exchange for Israel recognizing Western Sahara, which Morocco has colonized since 1976, as Morocco’s legitimate territory. Under Biden, the US has continued the same policy as Trump, also recognizing Western Sahara as Moroccan territory,  despite no other countries in the world recognizing Morocco’s sovereignty of this colonized territory.
