Puzzling number of men tied to #Ferguson protests have died
▻https://apnews.com/436251b8a58c470eb4f69099f43f2231
Two young men were found dead inside #torched cars. Three others died of apparent suicides. Another collapsed on a bus, his death ruled an overdose.
Six deaths, all involving men with connections to protests in Ferguson, #Missouri, drew attention on social media and speculation in the activist community that something sinister was at play.
Police say there is no evidence the deaths have anything to do with the protests stemming from a white police officer’s fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, and that only two were #homicides with no known link to the #protests.
ce qui se passe à Ferguson mérite quelques secondes d’attention. Depuis 2014 les militant.e.s là-bas qui ont impulsé le mouvement #BlackLivesMatter meurent les uns après les autres. De mort violente.

#Anarchists attack the riot police outside the greek parliament ( , Greece – 17 May 2017)
“We won’t live like slaves - The only lost battles are the ones that they have not been given”.
On Wednesday 17 May 2017 thousands of people joined the general #strike #protests all over Greece, against the new harsh financial measures of 4.9 billion euros incorporated in the 4th Memorandum signed by the greek government, aimed once again against the lower income classes rather, than the #banks and the wealthy.
The self proclaimed left government of #SYRIZA in co-operation with the right wing party of ANEL have unleashed a new class war, this time specifically aimed against people with disability and pensioners that have worked all their lives and paid their share under the false notion -as it seems- that during the time when they will be most vulnerable, they would have free public health services and subsidies that would help them get by. On the contrary after 23(!) severe cuts in pensions and allowances during the 8 years of the financial crisis in #Greece (amounting to more than 50 billion euros in pension and allowances cuts during the last 7 years), that has forced people to live like beggars, a further 18% cut will be imposed on pensions under the 4th #Memorandum being voted in the greek parliament these days and a “freezing” of even the slightest raise in pensions until 2022.

One of the most remarkable protest acts in Zimbabwe in 2016 was a little-publicized act by a small group of female Christian worshippers who dressed up in sacks, and prayed and wailed for three days.

Hundreds of Ethiopians have been killed by their government this year. Hundreds. You might not have known because casualty numbers have been played down; “evil forces” and accidents are blamed rather than the soldiers that fired the bullets; we are even deprived of the ability to fully grasp the situation because journalists are not allowed […]

Au Brésil, continuité politique et stabilité géographique
mercredi 24 novembre 2010, par Philippe Waniez, Cesar Romero Jacob, Dora Rodrigues Hees et Violette Brustlein
Le 31 octobre 2010, Dilma Rousseff, candidate du Parti des travailleurs (PT), était élue à la présidence du Brésil. Avec 56% des voix (contre 44% pour son rival du Parti de la social-démocratie brésilienne, PSDB, José Serra), elle devenait la première femme dans l’histoire du pays à accéder à cette responsabilité.
Alors que l’immense majorité des Brésiliens ne disaient désirer qu’une seule chose – « la continuité » –, Mme Rousseff a bénéficié du soutien du président sortant, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, immensément populaire (lire le Manière de voir consacré au Brésil). La cartographie du scrutin illustre donc le maintien des grands « bastions » du PT. Toutefois, elle éclaire, aussi, sur l’évolution de l’électorat depuis 2006.

BBC News - Who are Hong Kong’s protesters?
▻http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-29054196
Tensions are high in Hong Kong amid a row about how the city’s leader should be elected, with thousands taking to the streets in defiance of tear gas and government warnings.
Elections are due in 2017 - but the Chinese government has issued a ruling limiting who can stand as a candidate. Campaigns by students and pro-democracy activists ballooned into mass protests over the weekend. The demonstrations have been denounced by China. The BBC explains what is happening.
Who are the protesters?
At the heart of it is a civil disobedience movement launched by democracy activists, Occupy Central with Love and Peace, known as Occupy Central. It had been promising protests for months if Beijing’s movement on electoral reform did not go far enough.

Homes, markets, and vital infrastructure have been targeted by the Israeli military, causing destruction and over 1,000 displaced people.

An Egyptian court acquitted 169 Muslim Brotherhood supporters charged in connection with unrest that followed the overthrow of president Mohammed Mursi last year, breaking a pattern of mass convictions at trials involving the Islamist opposition.

Gunmen dispersed a sit-in protest outside Libya’s interim parliament overnight, firing in the air and detaining demonstrators, witnesses said on Sunday. “Armed men came firing in the air and they set fire to a tent set up by demonstrators” in front of the General National Congress (GNC), Libya’s highest political authority, protester Milad al-Arbi said. He said they detained a number of demonstrators during the incident on Saturday night but was unable to give a figure.
