Happy Tunisian Women’s Day!

Safwan M. Masri, a Jordanian professor, described Tunisia as ‘an Arab anomaly’ due to its progressive social and cultural changes, particularly in gender equality reforms.

Today, 13 August 2024, marks the 68th anniversary of implementing The Code of Personal Status, granting a significant improvement in women rights. 

Sixty-eight years after, the name of the very first Prime Minister and President of Republic of Tunisia, Habib Bourguiba, is still prominent in discussions about the history of the country.

Often they trolled themselves as bait for the NVA troops to try to shoot down. When a friendly unit made contact, having a FAC overhead made their day, because the FACs controlled the bomb-, rocket-, and napalm-laden fast movers, fighter jets, and attack aircraft whose ordnance often made the difference between life and death. They were regarded by many of their air force and naval aviator brethren as insane, suicidal, or both. In addition to the perils of enemy fire which ranged from lucky AK-47 shots to .51 caliber machine guns and SA-7 shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, they had to watch out to keep from being blown up in a B-52 Arc-Light strike or knocked down by friendly artillery.

Happy Republic Day 🇮🇳

Proud to be a part of the country where people are breaking the chains of the society and bringing revolutionary changes.

[fuckyeahmarxismleninism]

The next two days mark the 68th anniversary of two momentous events in the history of the workers and oppressed peoples.

On July 26, 1953, Fidel Castro and his small guerrilla band struck the first blow of the Cuban Revolution with the attack on the Moncada Army Barracks. Although Fidel was captured and many compatriots killed, the action inspired people throughout the island to rise up against the hated U.S.-backed Batista regime. Less than six years later, the revolution triumphed.

The following day, July 27, 1953, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) declared victory in the Fatherland Liberation War, known in the west as the Korean War. With the aid of Chinese volunteers, the Korean People’s Army led by Kim Il Sung pushed back the U.S. imperialist assault that sought to destroy northern Korea’s socialist revolution and China’s as well. The U.S. was forced to sign an armistice, but even now refuses to enact a peace treaty and continues its military occupation of south Korea.

No one could have known at the time, but socialist Korea and socialist Cuba would forever be linked as strong pillars of the global class struggle against imperialism. These two countries served as beacons of revolutionary hope and principle during some of the grimmest counter-revolutionary events of the late 20th century and continue to inspire communists and anti-imperialists worldwide.

Long live socialist Korea and socialist Cuba!

Long live the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Communist Party of Cuba!

Peace treaty and reunification for Korea’s people now!

End the blockade of Cuba and sanctions against the DPRK!

Death to U.S. imperialism!

After a goalless first half, Ajax midfielder Mohammed Kudus broke the deadlock in the 52 minute to put Ghana ahead in the game.

AS Roma attacker, Felix Afena Gyan also scored his debut goal for the Black Stars in the game in the 57 minute.

Substitute Osman Bukari sealed it off with the 3rd goal in the game in the 85th minute.

The home side could have won the game by a wider margin as Kudus scored in the 68th minute but was flagged offside by the match official.

The result lifts Ghana to the summit of Group E with a better goal difference after Angola defeated Central Africa Republic 2-1 in the group's other game earlier in the day.

The Black Stars will travel to play the Central African Republic in four days' time while Madagascar hosts Angola in the group's other game.
