Ahmad My Friend, My Comrade

It has taken me a week to gather my thoughts, to get over the initial shock of your death. I cannot do you justice in this writing, but I hope it’s a start. I’m still in shock, crying, disbelief. I worked alongside you for 17 years at the Alternative Information Centre (AIC). You were my comrade and my friend. And from the first day, you did something I will never forget. You (…)

Senegal Is in the World Cup but Hardly Made Welcome

One of Africa’s top teams, Senegal has good reason to look forward to the World Cup. But the US government has put up major barriers to its fans and journalists visiting the country, in a policy of deep discrimination against Senegalese citizens. He’s frustrated, but he’s keeping in his anger. Abdoulaye — the pseudonym of a famous Senegalese journalist who spoke to Jacobin — just doesn’t (…)

Mad King Trump Refuses to Quit, Netanyahu Compounds the Folly and Modi Silently Swallows Insults

Analysts of the US-Israeli unprovoked and blatantly illegal attack on Iran on Feb 28, while US-Iranian negotiations brokered by Oman were ongoing, have concluded that the assault has failed to achieve any of its objectives. Iran, despite suffering significant losses, is now acknowledged to be in a stronger position compared to the assailants as its closure of the Strait of Hormuz threatens to (…)

Populism and the Erosion of the Public Sphere

Robert A. Heinlein, an American novelist and political thinker, argues that political labels such as democrat, communist, fascist, liberal, or conservative are not fundamental criteria for distinguishing citizens politically; rather, humanity is divided between those who seek to dominate others and those who do not. This reduction of political life to a fundamental asymmetry of domination (…)

Cost Without Consent: The Political Economy of Permanent War

War, in its official presentation, is a collective sacrifice—an inevitable but necessary cost imposed on the present to secure the future. In practice, the American experience since 1950 suggests something closer to a permanent fiscal regime, in which costs are socialised, profits are privatised, and accountability is systematically displaced. The question is no longer whether the United (…)

Apartheid, Waiting for Ethnic Cleansing: Israel’s ’Only Remaining Problem’

A population that has been displaced, which has had its homes and sources of livelihood destroyed, becomes more vulnerable to ethnic cleansing at the ’right’ time. To put it succinctly, by every possible measure but one (and a tiny bit more) – the Zionist victory over the Palestinians is total. Political, military and economic power is entirely in our hands. So too is the control over (…)

The Ongoing Illegal War on Iran: Trump-Netanyahu Threaten Bigger War Crimes While Modi Continues To Obfuscate Its Criminality

The illegal Israel-US war on Iran now grinds on to a second month of conflict with no clear end in sight. Trump’s dream of doing a Venezuela-type operation has proved to be an illusion as Iran has shown itself to be a more formidable opponent. As this editorial is being written (April 5, 2026), Trump has issued an obscenity laced post on his Truth Social account threatening to commit bigger (…)

Demonstrations and Demographics

In the aftermath of the “No Kings Day” demonstrations of March 28th, there has been renewed interest—and concern—that in many cities the participation of people of color generally, and Black people specifically, has been limited. To my knowledge, no one has done any study on this, so we are forced to rely on a combination of anecdotal information and historical analysis and patterns. What (…)
