| By Alan Woods in Caracas  Alan Woods in Caracas describes the mood of the masses on the April 13 celebrations of the 8th anniversary of the failed right-wing coup. This time, as well as the usual red shirts, there was a massive display of the people's militia clad in camouflage green, and carrying Russian-made AK-47s, a clear warning to the reactionary oligarchy that the masses are prepared to fight any attempt to turn the clock back.

By Julian Benson  After eight years of war in Afghanistan, the inability of Western imperialism to quell the insurgency has entered into a period of crisis. Cracks and divisions within the central government are becoming more and more critical as the military and political situation becomes ever more unstable. Major conflicts within Afghanistan's Western-backed ruling clique were first brought to a head in August during the presidential elections. The accusations of fraud have left Karzai's grip on power extremely strained and have left Karzai wondering whether the NATO mission is more hindrance than help.

By Editorial statement of The Red Plough  We publish for the information of our readers the latest editorial of The Red Plough.
| | | | ESPAÑOL | | By Corriente Marxista Internacional En el mes de octubre el congreso Argentino aprobó una Ley de Medios que limita el poder los monopolios de los medios de comunicación y facilita el ingreso de radios, periódicos y TV comunitarias, etc. La Corriente Socialista Militante le dio apoyo crítico, señalando el avance que representaba al mismo tiempo que explicaba sus limitaciones (Nuestra posición ante la Ley de comunicación audiovisual). Ahora esta ley ha sido prohibida por un juez reaccionario con el apoyo de la derecha. Contra la decisión del juez se ha levantado un movimiento de protesta y se ha convocado una manifestación el jueves 15 de abril con el apoyo de los sindicatos, CGT y CTA, a favor de la Ley de Medios y que se prevé que sea muy masiva. Con esta declaración, la Corriente Marxista Internacional quiere expresar su solidaridad con esta protesta. | |
| | OTHER LANGUAGES | | By Redazuione de El Militante (Bolivia) Il Movimento al Socialismo (MAS) risulta confermato come prima forza nazionale alle elezioni del 4 di aprile. Alle precedenti elezioni municipali del 2004 il MAS aveva vinto in 80 dei 327 comuni del paese ma in nessuna dei capoluoghi regionali né nelle cittá importanti, mentre alle regionali del 2005 aveva conquistato il governo solo nelle regioni di Chuquisaca, Potosí ed Oruro. Oggi il MAS é maggioranza nei consigli comunali di Cobija, Cochabamba e della popolosa El Alto, terza cittá del paese. Le proiezioni sulla base dei primi scrutini gli attribuiscono anche i governi regionali di Potosí, La Paz, Cochabamba, Chuquisaca, Oruro e probabilmente Pando. |
