March 9.
Undoubtedly, this is not yet the tsunami, but the situation remains volatile. Synthesis on
the state of mobilization by the Secretariat of AL Enterprises. ---- The arch-rotten time
has greatly hampered the mobilization and apparitions (diff, newspaper sales ...). However
and beyond the battle on actual figures (1.2 million advanced by the unions) there were
many, including the police said, twice protesters and demonstrators that during the day of
March 9. ---- If the strike was weaker at the SNCF [ 1 ], more companies have experienced
work stoppages. 200 schools closed by the Ministry of Education. Hundreds of primary
schools too.
We even saw in the street some sectors of the CFDT Metallurgy, Culture ... sometimes
without flags to escape the bureaucratic repression that has already beheaded the local
union CFDT Montpellier. The UNSA-RATP (officially on the box claims to not be in
cantilever) also called for the strike.
Undoubtedly, this is not yet the tsunami but it goes!
The call "is blocking any" managed his first public appearance in processions in several
cities. We approach the 1000 individual signatures. A small twenty union structures have
also signed.
Police violence also increases with hundreds of arrests in a dozen cities.
In cities, the inter-union AG and interprovincial into place and take local initiatives:
rallies, demonstrations, filtering or blocking presence in support of schools and
blockages facs ...
In the wake of the Paris demonstration, while the rain stopped finally, several hundred
people attended the night standing around to exchange spontaneous speeches.
Nationally, the Inter full continues to mobilize for the withdrawal of the law. With a
properly adjusted schedule, "youth" day on April 5 protest together on Saturday 9. Oops,
the strike call is conspicuously absent ...
We must recognize also that the majority of union activists, including the signatories of
"It blocks all" remain cautious about the possibility at this stage, to start a strike in
renewable. Yet it is in favor of a strike generalization that we must argue, noting that
large demonstrations of 2010 on pensions were not enough to win.
In the immediate campaigners and activists must be creative to organize initiatives that
push fires in cities, industrial areas, in the professional sectors.
Finally, while organizing the fight against El Khomri law, do not forget to talk more
generally change society , the emancipation of capitalism: public meetings, discussions at
newspaper sales and diff tracts, presence at businesses, schools and facs, markets ... the
libertarian communist current must not let the reformists dig into what might be a few
years "generation 2016"!

[ 1 ] On 9 strike was the call of CGT, SUD-Rail, UNSA, CFDT and FO; 31 it was only CGT and
SUD-Rail and FO ... and with a refusal of the federation CGT ask a national notice.
Problem: too much union teams pretext to stick to the ground (which is necessary) speak
only of matters "internal" to the train and do not make the link with the
interprofessional movement on the labor law. Yet there is need to emphasize the
dialectical relationship between the two

There are more than forty years, the Moroccan monarchy launched the Green March to annex
Western Sahara, despite the resistance of the Saharawi independence. Fifteen authors have
teamed up to let the world know the struggle of the last colonized country in Africa. ----
Fighting in the Sahara. From colonialism to independence in Western Sahara is a disturbing
book. Fifteen authors relate a look at a territory colonized by Morocco with the consent
of the French state. ---- "It is high time for the international community to act to end
the criminal Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara, writes Noam Chomsky in the preface,
that the Sahrawis to enjoy the rights of self-determination and freedom for which they
have fought bravely for many years, in terrible conflicts. "
Western Sahara: a simple piece of desert?
Little is known, but the Western Sahara was in November 2010, one of the starting points
of the Arab Spring, with the huge gathering of El Aiun, violently repressed by the
Moroccan army.
This ancient land of northwest Africa suffered a hundred years of Spanish colonization
before the current occupation by Morocco.
As in Palestine, the monarchy has built a "wall of shame" of 2720 kilometers long, guarded
by tens of thousands of soldiers to stifle dissent and prevent guerrilla attacks of the
Polisario Front.
How international law is he positioned, and how is it respected?
How an occupation she extends for 40 years in silence?
Why the exploitation of natural resources she found the source of the status quo?
Where are the human rights and how to transform the traditionally nomadic culture of the
Saharawi people?
Why the false neutrality of the French State?
Fifteen specialists, direct witnesses and actors respond to these questions.
