I’m working on an article about the aftermath of forcibly changing Kashmir’s juridical & political relationship to India. It would be about the changes after the lockdown on August 5th & include the state of resistance in Kashmir, the internationalization of the Kashmir issue & the growth of an international solidarity movement. Do any Kashmiris or their supporters have any suggestions for what such an article should include?

The healthcare infrastructures in several African countries are so devastated by neoliberal economic policies mandated by the IMF that UN secretary general António Guterres expressed concern that the continent would be devastated by the coronavirus epidemic. He said he fears “millions and millions” of coronavirus cases in Africa. Now, after French doctors publicly proposed testing Covid-19 vaccines on Africans, the Ethiopian director-general of WHO had to come out & say publicly there would no making colonial guinea pigs out of Africans.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from WHO is no champion of the people. He still stands accused by doctors & health professionals since 2017 of covering up cholera epidemics in Sudan & Ethiopia to avoid embarrassing those two regimes & was recently accused of turning a blind eye to China’s culpability for the coronavirus epidemic. It’s a damn good thing that the racist recklessness of the French doctors was made so public because now it puts WHO in the spotlight for responsibility in protecting every human being rather than turn Africans into colonial triage victims.
We should demand that African countries be provided immediate healthcare supplies & facilities to address the coronavirus epidemic. No human being is expendable to us.

Unpacking the Domicile Law in Kashmir from Stand With Kashmir:
We should feel as confident about surviving the coronavirus with Trump & Jared Kushner now in charge as Palestinians do about the two halfwits brokering a peace deal with Israel. Genocide against Palestinians accelerates as will Kushner profiteering off epidemic numbers of deaths in the Black community, among minimum wage workers, the elderly, homeless, & poor working people. They are the stinking epitome of the ‘culling the herd’ mentality.
This is a brief, useful tutorial on how coronavirus affects our lungs & kills us.

“Older Rohingya refugees in overcrowded camps in Bangladesh are being left behind in the humanitarian response to #COVID19, which could have devastating consequences given the high risks older people everywhere face from this deadly pandemic.
Don’t leave them behind.”
–Seraz Arakani
“Hindutva groups are going full throttle in communilizing corona in india. 100s of videos & 1000s of posts are making rounds on social media where they can be seen abusing, humiliating beating and intimidating muslims for spreading Coronavirus in the country. At many places muslims have been stopped from returning home even, and in the last couple of days reports of suicide case among Muslim community continue as well.
PS: The world is as mute as a fish.”
–Kashmiri Zafar Iqbal
