Victory in the War on Drugs!

April 2022 is a historic moment since it corresponds to the definitive victory against hard drugs. Not a gram of drugs circulates in the country, thanks to a proactive government policy.

A small precision: it is not about the United States. The country in question is Afghanistan and the government is the one led by the Taliban party.

The US government should perhaps call on Taliban advisers to help settle the issue of drugs in the United States against which the government has been waging a war for 50 years without success and which has cost thousands of human lives and a trillion dollars.

Justice on the Side of the Palestinian People

July 19, 2024, marks a monumental victory for justice, which has clearly sided with the rights of the Palestinian people. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued an opinion declaring that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal. The court demanded that all states take action to end this occupation and that Israel pay reparations to Palestinians who have suffered due to this situation. It is important to note that this opinion follows a recent decision by the Court requiring Israel to cease any actions in Gaza that could constitute genocide. This ICJ opinion will strengthen international pressure on Israel. Although it will take time, just like the end of apartheid in South Africa, there is no doubt that justice will prevail and that Palestinians will regain their right to self-determination.

France: results and challenges

The New Popular Front won 182 seats in the snap parliamentary elections, making it the largest group in the French National Assembly, which has 577 seats. This is obviously a reason for immense satisfaction and relief for millions of French people who were enduring the anti-social policies of Macron's regime. It is also an open opportunity for all those who want real change. That said, and without minimizing the results obtained, it must be remembered that the new Popular Front only secured 31.2% of the seats in the National Assembly and that the percentage of French people who voted for it represents only 25.1% of the votes. In comparison, the Popular Front of 1936 obtained 63.5% of the seats and 57.8% of the French voted for it! This means that the New Popular Front is far behind the 1936 performance. But all this does not take away from the immense success achieved this week. It simply means that the New Front has enormous task to perform to convince more French people of the ne...

Palestine: The Side of Justice Strengthens

The Spanish government has decided to join South Africa in its action at the International Court of Justice against Israel. By doing so, Spain becomes the 50th country to join the camp accusing Israel of genocide against the Palestinian people. It is also the fifth country in Europe to take this step, following Ireland, Belgium, Turkey, and Albania. For their part, the Belgian and French governments have declared their support for any decision made by the International Criminal Court concerning arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister. The genocide against the Palestinian people will not go unpunished. Benyounès Saidi
