The seeds of peace lie in choices that are made. Looking back, indeed, Russia’s decision to vacate the occupation of Kherson on the western bank of the Dnieper River was a masterstroke. Also: Russia Strategises with Iran for the Long Haul in Ukraine.
Lula’s historic victory, unthinkable just two years ago, couldn’t have happened without millions of people fighting for it. As Bolsonaro supporters refuse to accept the results, the mobilisation of the masses will be key to securing democracy.
The attempt to kill Khan will not change anything. The masses are cynical, the politicians and generals busy making money. It would be good if some lessons were learned, and the next elections were more than two power-hungry blocs fighting to increase their bank-balances.
The narrow loss for the outgoing Brazilian president despite his devastating presidency is merely a symptom of the conservative tide sweeping Latin America.
War between Ethiopia and the TPLF may be coming to an end, but the US is using sanctions to have the final word despite the apparent defeat of its proxy.
After one of the closest presidential elections ever in Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of the Workers’ Party emerged the winner. We publish Lula’s election night victory speech as president-elect.
Guinea has the world’s largest reserves of bauxite and is the second-largest producer (after Australia) of the essential mineral for aluminum. All the mining is controlled by MNCs.
The founding fathers of the US Constitution feared and hated the concept of democracy. They derisively referred to it as “tyranny of the majority.” The constitution that they wrote reflects this, and seeks to restrict and prohibit involvement of the people in key areas of decision making.
Tens of thousands of Brazilians marched in Sao Paulo Saturday in a final show of support for former president Lula da Silva before Sunday’s election. Also: It’s official: Lula has won. He has defeated incumbent Jair Bolsonaro to become the next president of Brazil.
Rishi Sunak has become the PM of UK and India’s ‘bhaktmandali’ is celebrating. Celebrating those who had nothing to do with India except some relations hundreds years back is nothing but pure hypocrisy of those who do not acknowledge the contributions of minorities in our nation building.
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.
