    Trump Increases Repression Against Political Enemies and the Left

    29 September, by Dan La Botz

    The Nepalese paroxysmal crisis and its regional context

    27 September, by Pierre Rousset

    It only took a few days for the situation in Nepal to abruptly shift, leading to violent riots, before the resignation of the Oli government and the appointment of lawyer Sushila Karki as interim Prime Minister allowed a return to calm, with de facto power returning to the hands of the army. The explosion of the Nepalese powder keg was preceded and followed by popular movements of a scale rare in the region. Revolted by the arrogance of the oligarchies, they often have the fight against corruption as their banner.
