    Agent Orange, a slow violence that still kills

    18 October, by Collectif Vietnam-Dioxine

    Mobilization shakes regime in Madagascar

    14 October, by Paul Martial

    “The new fact is the mobilization of workers. A few days after the first demonstrations, Jirama employees went on strike, joined by the teachers’ union, SEMPAMA. Finally, Herizo Ramanambola, leader of the Solidarité trade union, called for a general strike, also demanding the resignation of the president.”
