To our anarchist comrades, a short note on what happened in the demonstrations of January 17.
There were violations and (tactics of) excessive repression practiced by the government forces against the defenseless peaceful revolutionaries. This led to the martyrdom of 7 revolutionaries in the center of the capital, Khartoum, and serious injuries from the use of live ammunition.
The people decided to take control of the capital, Khartoum, and all the cities of Sudan, and to declare comprehensive civil disobedience as of today, January 18, 2022.
Now and until this moment the revolutionaries control all the streets with checkpoints. The security forces appear and disappear from time to time to practice their excessive suppression of the revolutionaries, but despite this, the revolutionaries are in a stabile state and the streets remain closed by their orders and the revolutionary system.

Càirt bho Khartoum
A chompanaich anarcaich, seo cairt bheag air na thachair sna h-ar-a-machan 17mh Faoileach
Chuir an Righaltas a’ chuip air druim nan rèabhaltach sìtheil a bha gun dìon. Chaidh seachdnar a mhartarachd ann an cridhe a’ phrìomh bhaile, Khartoum, agus chaidh tuilleadh dhiubh a ghoirteachadh le ammo beò.
Ghabh an Sluagh thairis a’ phrìomh bhaile, agus a h-uile baile mòr san t-Sudan. Dh’fhoillsich iad nach gabh iad òrdughan an riaghaltais bho seo, 18mh Faoilleach, a-mach.
A-nis, agus gus an-dràsta- tha na rèabhlaidich air smachd a ghabhail air na sràidean le àiteachan-sgrùdaidh. Thèid Airm an Riaghaltais a-steach ’s a-mach, a’ cleachdadh an dòighean truime son bacadh a chuir air na rèabhlaidich. Ach a dh’ aineoin cùis’, tha na rèabhlaidich nan seasamh gu làidir , agus tha na sràidean fhathast dùint’ air na h-òrdughan aca agus buaidh an t-siostaim rèabhlaidich.

These are the faces of some of revolutionaries who have lost their life at the hands of the state.
On Wednesday 23 October, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan landed in Russia to attend the BRICS summit, there was a deadly attack on the Turkish aerospace and a defence company TUSAS facility near Ankara by two militants from The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).[1] This would result in a return to the brutal barrage the Turkish […]
Gustavo Gutiérrez, Radical priest, towering prophet, has left us. His Liberation Theology, a slap in the face of church complacency, drew the wrath of the Vatican and Washington alike. Heaven is not a distant dream, but a battle fought here, for justice. The poor have lost a friend. Gustavo Gutiérrez is gone, but the fire […]
Its very easy to feel as though anarchism is in decline. What we hardly ever discuss is what success looks like. Maybe it’s a bit too neo-liberal to form a focus group and discuss how we measure success. A decade ago, I left London and moved to a small town in the middle of England. […]
The Assembly of Collectives of Zapatista Autonomous Governments (ACEGAZ), the Zapatista communities and the EZLN call on all people, groups, collectives, organizations, movements and indigenous peoples who have signed the so-called Declaration for Life, to the International Meetings of Rebellions and Resistances

This essay is dedicated to all those who say to us “Why bother? It’s hopeless. Just move away to a more progressive state.”
