mashriq / arabia / iraq / miscellaneous / non-anarchist press Friday March 20, 2015 - 00:31 by Adam Hanieh
Over four years since mass uprisings ousted sclerotic regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, it can seem that the initial hopes represented by these movements lie in tatters. Libya, Syria, Yemen and Iraq remain mired in bloody armed conflicts that have led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands and displaced millions more within and across borders. In the pivotal case of Egypt, military rule has returned through the violent crushing of protests, the arrests of an estimated 40,000 people and the rebuilding of the repressive structures of the [Hosni] Mubarak era. Elsewhere, autocratic governments look more secure in their rule today than they have for many years. ... read full story / add a comment

Animado por la amalgama opositora unida contra el Gobierno islamista del legítimo presidente Morsi, el Ejército egipcio le ha dado un ultimátum de 48 horas para que acceda a las exigencias de los manifestantes, que exigen su renuncia. Los militares vuelven al centro de la escena cabalgando sobre los revolucionarios, a los que no dudaron en masacrar.

Hace unos días me tomé un segundo café con Salama Kayleh en Beirut. Repetir cafés nunca es mala idea, sobre todo cuando no sabes que te vas a llevar una tarea a casa: Salama me pidió, como favor personal, que tradujera esta carta que a continuación presento. Me lo pidió apenas dos días antes de la muerte de Chávez. Hablamos de que estaría bien que la leyera. Ahora que él ya no puede, esperamos que sus seguidores lo hagan y reflexionen sobre un error estratégico en el que la izquerda ha perdido al mundo árabe. Es una carta larga, pero que merece la pena leer hasta el final: ... read full story / add a comment

Arabia Saudí es un gran aliado de la comunidad occidental, con el que Estados Unidos coopera en operaciones militares en Yemen y al que ha vendido el mayor paquete de armas de la historia. España también mantiene excelentes relaciones políticas y comerciales con Arabia Saudí. Poco importa su amplio historial de represión y de violaciones de derechos humanos. ... read full story / add a comment

La reaparición del proletariado como sujeto social revolucionario, es el aspecto principal que nos ha mostrado el desarrollo de las revoluciones democráticas árabes. Es un hecho de una trascendencia mayúscula porque se da en el marco de la crisis sistémica del capitalismo y de la decadencia del imperio neo-colonial más poderoso de la historia de la humanidad (EE-UU.)

Sayed Hassan Nasrallah, General Secretary of Hizballah, is the leader of a movement claiming to fight for the right of self-determination, in the same way that Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela were leaders of movements that claimed similar ends. However, Nasrallah will likely not be elevated to the status of a Gandhi, Mandela or other leaders of resistance movements of our time, nor will he be given the same revere and respect. Rather, he will be remembered as a violent man, a terrorist, appearing angry in pictures rather than with his innocent, almost childlike smile. ... read full story / add a comment

Karl Marx used to say that England was the country where class struggle will travel to its end. Can we say that Lebanon is the country where class struggle goes to its sectarian end? When observing the political spin of March 14th leaders and their media outlets in Lebanon it becomes clear that such fraudulent ideas are being directed toward the open sit-in in downtown Beirut. ... read full story / add a comment

Arab regimes and the United States are rushing to shore up Siniora's government. On January 25, the same day of the bloody protests and curfew in Beirut, Siniora attended a donors conference in Paris, where he received pledges of $7.6 billion in aid and loan guarantees. Some of the funding will go toward reconstruction after last summer's war, but much of it will be used to make interest payments and refinance Lebanon's crushing $41 billion public debt. The country's debt-to-GDP ratio is now about 180 percent--the second-highest in the world (after Malawi). A large proportion of the pledges received at the Paris III conference are tied to unpopular economic reforms that Siniora has vowed to undertake, including raising taxes and privatizing state assets. Most of these measures--such as raising gasoline surcharges and the value-added tax--will most heavily affect Lebanon's poor and working classes, who are disproportionately Shiite ... read full story / add a comment

"We want to live!" This is what president Siniora says, repeating the slogans posted on bulletin boards across the capital these days. We, of course, want to live like Siniora wants. But, "free and dignified" living has to include everyone: our captives in the jails of occupation that have sacrificed for us, our people in the South dwelling amid daily Israeli violations and in the danger that one of the one million two hundred thousand cluster bomblets dropped by Israel during the last hours before the cease-fire could explode in the face of their sons and daughters. Free and dignified living should include the poor and dispossessed, low-income employees and the victims of Hariri’s "reconstruction"— most people neither benefited from his upscale Solidère or from his luxurious airport. "We want to live" should include, as well, the more than three hundred thousand Palestinians who, in the camps of misery, are simply not "living". ... read full story / add a comment

The atmosphere of the Lebanese opposition demonstrations, which began last Friday and were planned in large part by Hizballah, Amal, the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) and their allies, has been very calm and festive, betraying the underlying tensions and outbursts of political violence in the country. In many ways, they exude a similar spirit to last year's months of demonstrating by the March 14 coalition, in which there was constant music interlaced with speeches, and people waving Lebanese flags and behaving as if they had just won a football game or were at a concert. ... read full story / add a comment

The people of this region are being abandoned by the world to escalating chaos. The political crisis in Lebanon is a manifestation of this chaos, linked more broadly to the catastrophe in Iraq, and the butchery in Palestine. Despite empty gestures, fake goodwill and worn out slogans from a parade of prominent visitors to Jericho, Gaza and some regional capitals, there is no reason at all for hope. ... read full story / add a comment
