New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani attends a New York Is Not for Sale rally at Forest Hills Stadium in the Queens borough of New York City on October 26, 2025 [Shannon Stapleton/Reuters] By Ziyad Motala Professor of law at Howard University School of Law. By electing Zohran Mamdani, New York voters endorsed public duty over donor loyalty and truth over silence on Gaza. Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York mayoral election is the moral repudiation of an establishment that mistook political access for virtue and money for merit. Against a torrent of billionaire donations, media scepticism, Islamophobia and…

Photograph: Zohra Bensemra/Reuters Sudan, Empire, and the Future War Machine by ali ridha khan Sudan is not a crisis — it is a revelation. It is the mirror no one wants to look into, showing us what the world becomes when power sheds its old costumes and violence finds new investors. From Khartoum’s charred skyline to the mass graves of El Fasher, Sudan is where empire updates its software and humanity glitches. To call this merely a “civil war” is to participate in misrecognition. Sudan is the frontline of a new imperial order: not built on flags, missions, or manifest…

Al Basma IVF Centre, Gaza’s largest fertility clinic which was struck by an Israeli shell. Composite: Guardian Design by Ben Doherty Former UN inquiry chair Navi Pillay says ‘what’s so unusual about this genocide’ is that ‘we are all witnesses to it’ Of the thousands of bombs that have fallen – and fall still – on Gaza, there is one to which Navi Pillay returns: a lone shell, fired by the Israel Defense Forces at the Al-Basma fertility clinic in December 2023. A single strike that wiped out 4,000 embryos in a moment. The strike was “intended to prevent births” among Palestinians…

By Iqbal Jassat  Shocking images of brutal killings and massacres of thousands of civilians in El Fasher, western Sudan, during the end of October, appears to have awoken the world to a largely under-reported genocide ongoing for more than two years. The horrific reality of an escalation in the gruesome war became evident as satellite images revealed the scale of the atrocities. Victims included women, children, and the elderly. Though Sudan has been engulfed in one of Africa’s bloodiest conflicts since April 2023, much of the world including African countries had opted to remain unmoved. This allowed the painful suffering…

By Salim Mohamed Badat The Dawn of the Fire. It began at dawn, 15 April 2023, when the sky over Khartoum split open with the scream of gunfire. The Rapid Support Forces did not merely attack military positions; they ambushed a nation. Under Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the Sudanese Armed Forces reeled as Hemedti’s men,once Janjaweed on horseback, now a uniformed death machine, swarmed the capital. This was not a war born overnight. The power-sharing deal after the fall of Omar al-Bashir had been a brittle façade, cracking under the weight of greed, suspicion, and the question that haunted every negotiation…

By Press TV Website Staff Earlier this week, marauding Israeli occupation soldiers killed siblings, Masa Muhammad Eid and Shaʿban Muhammad Eid, in central Gaza. Their cold-blooded murder came amid the so-called ceasefire that has been violated by the regime nearly 150 times in three weeks. Like children elsewhere in the world, Masa and Sha’ban brimmed with joy and curiosity, despite the hell that the regime has wreaked in the besieged Gaza Strip since October 2023. Nearly 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza — nearly half of them children, like Masa and Sha’ban. The besieged territory, often described as the…

Healthcare Workers 4 Palestine – South Africa (HCW4P-SA) is aware of the provisional finding and subsequent fine on Dr Tlaleng Mofokeng, for her social media posts, made by the Health Professionals Council South Africa (HPCSA) in response to a complaint from the South African Zionist Federation (SAZF). We welcome the news that there will be an appeal to this finding, and we trust that the HPCSA will follow due process in responding to this appeal. While we respect the work of the HPCSA, the limited transparency with respect to the provisional finding is cause for concern amongst healthcare workers. We…

Every Dictatorship has one Obsession — control. By Sõzarn Barday Control of bodies, of land, of imagination, and above all, of truth. The methods differ across centuries, but the intent remains the same: to suppress awareness and divert attention from injustice. In ancient Rome, emperors understood this well. As the empire rotted from within, they fed the population panem et circenses — bread and circuses — to keep citizens content and distracted. Gladiatorial games and grain distributions dulled the hunger for justice. People grew accustomed to spectacle, numbed to oppression, entertained into silence. History may never repeat itself perfectly, but it often…

Gaza Tribunal By Gaza Tribunal Source: Gaza Tribunal We, the undersigned members of the Jury of Conscience, hereby deliver this Statement of Findings and Moral Judgment at the final session of the Gaza Tribunal. The Jury, guided by conscience and informed by international law, does not speak with the authority of states, but when law is silenced by power, conscience must become the final tribunal. The Tribunal is not a court of law so does not purport to determine guilt or liability of any person, organization or state. It is a civil society response to the continuing lack of accountability for the commission by Israel of…
