By mid-year 2023, the UNHCR put the number of refugees at 36.4 million worldwide. This figure doesn’t include the people fleeing war and other systemic and climate violence, called “internally displaced persons” – UNHCR puts their number at 62.2 million in its mid-2023 report.
Concentrated wealth and power are undermining democracy. Here’s what Joe Biden ought to be saying and doing about it.
January 11 marks the 22nd anniversary of the founding of the prison component of the U.S. military base at Guantánamo Cuba. Guantánamo has been universally condemned by every human rights group in the world, as well as by the United Nations, and most countries in the world.
The outcome of US-led conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia will have a profound impact on the developing world order. Washington has already lost the former, and its major adversaries are vested in making sure it loses the latter too. Also: ‘How Yemen Is Blocking US Hegemony in West Asia’.
Today’s global conflicts – whether in Eastern Europe, West Asia, or East Asia – are spawned by a fading US hegemon desperately clinging to power.
Since the Pannun case involves a major foreign power such as India, the indictment would have been vetted by the State Department and the White House. Unsurprisingly, Biden has regretted the Indian invitation to be the Chief Guest at India’s Republic Day.
Daniel Ellsberg, the man who risked life in prison to leak the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times, spent the rest of his life warning us about the possibility of nuclear war and how to avert it.
This year, Grenada commemorates both 50 years as an independent nation and 40 years since the violent implosion of the People’s Revolutionary Government and subsequent U.S. invasion.
In the United States, one of the twentieth century’s most prolific butchers died as he lived — beloved by the rich and powerful, regardless of their partisan affiliation.
‘US War Profiteers vs. US Citizens’: When we accept responsibility for what is happening as Americans, we have no choice but to act; ‘Shutting Down the Space Needle, Standing Up for Gaza’; ‘America’s War Economy and the Urgent Call for Peace in the Middle East’.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
