In Kivu region in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), tens of thousands of women
were raped and mutilated. The violence continues and now affect girls and babies. A sadly
common example of the use of rape as a weapon of war, highlighted by the figure of a
doctor that "restores women." ---- The film The Man Who repairs the women currently on
screens (large cities and not for long) recounts the work of Denis Mukwege, a Congolese
gynecologist who operates and tries to repair organs mutilated women. ---- Since 1994 and
the arrival of the Rwandan genocide, militias and armed forces clash on this field. Lulls,
peace agreements and demobilization succeed and it is still not peace. Rapes have never
stopped even if Dr. Mukwege has seen a recent decline in arrivals in his clinic. Armed
militias and fought (also) for access to the wealth of the subsoil of this region
contains, among other cassiterite and coltan, essential components of electronic devices
and especially our mobile phones.
The responsibility of rich countries' enterprises is not clearly established (but we only
lend to the rich ...) in the looting and violence that they induce. It seems a little
cleaning is done in the traceability of the origin of the metals and the prohibition to
supply the black market in war zones. But it's like the pig turned into France who leaves
"made in France", the metal can be "made in China" after a trip.
Demolish and to terrorize
Figures are uncertain but more than 200,000 women have been abused since 1998. Peace has
never been established, armed militia réattaquées in January. Rapes do not start, they
never stopped. Rape is a weapon of war intended to traumatize and do from the people. But
new horror in recent years: very young girls, and babies are raped. Even in zones of peace.
If some certain and explain these facts by the ancient belief that if a man lie with a
virgin, he will be rich, the explanation is more rational. Child soldiers, soldiers,
demobilized militiamen are found in civilian life with insufficient counseling and lived
and exercised violence leads them to commit atrocities. When there are (too rare) arrests,
he (too many) acquittals. Congolese soldiers of the UN forces in CAR have been sent home
after several rapes.
Excerpts from an article in Le Monde of 16 July 2013 are eloquent: "It violates the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Women, girls and babies recently. Collectively are
violated in public, to demolish and to terrorize. For days, sometimes for months before
shooting itself in the vaginas or lacerate the blows of razor blades, fill the salt,
burning rubber or caustic soda, to dump the fuel and set it on fire. There are less than
three weeks, a little girl of 18 months he [the surgeon since filmed] was made, genital
exploded. New babies arrived in the state since January [so between January and July
2013], 36 children under 10 years. "
If rich countries are concerned about the carbon footprint of travel, which is concerned
the balance sheet in suffering women of our consumer goods?

Thursday, May 19, took place 3 actions of economic blockades in Rennes. As everywhere in
France, the purpose of these actions is to finally hear the government the necessity of
withdrawal of the labor law. ---- The first was a free transport action in the metro
Rennais. ---- The second was to block the fuel depot of Vern-sur-Seiche, echoing the
strikes and blockades of refineries across France. ---- The third was blocking the road to
Lorient and access to the industrial area. ---- The first action was violently suppressed.
20 people mobilized against the labor law are made questioned by the police. This action
yet made sense in a city where the town hall is the government's game and is at the boot
of big business. ---- Indeed, for too long the town of Rennes and Rennes running all
applications of employers at the expense of men residents. One of the first beneficiaries
of this largesse is the company Keolis, company denounced through this action. While tax
Rennes metropolis men residents finance a large part of the transport infrastructure (€
155 million), they pay the new and when they buy their tickets. Keolis pocketed profits
and Rennes are stripped.
These are not the only ones. Witness the strike of the employees of Kéolis in Nice who
blame their direction non-compliance with company agreements on mutual and bonuses. We
recall that the labor law gives primacy to enterprise agreements. At Keolis, as elsewhere
the patrons of law therefore applies already without limits and always at the expense of
employees.
See as well:
And now: block everything!
Call "are blocking the repression! "
And despite the utility of the action performed by these people mobilized against the
labor law, the police arrested them and held in custody. They were all released under
judicial supervision, not to prevent them from escaping, but to participate in the social
movement. The lawsuits are serious and show a willingness of the state to raise a further
notch legal repression of social movements.
In parallel, an economic blocking action Vern fuel deposition on cuttlefish occurred .
Several employees, including many roads, students, precarious, the unemployed workers
blocked 5 million liters of diesel, fronting the distrust of the government. The latter
replied, Ille-et-Vilaine, as elsewhere, the demands of employers, and evacuated by a
significant intervention of riot police.
For the last action, the procession of protesters mobilized against the parading labor law
on the road to Lorient, attempted to reach the ring road. Once again, police used force
(tear gas, arrests, beatings) to break blocking.
A listing these facts, we can see that the will of the government, which is to silence, no
matter the means, all forms of social protests.
The city council had forbidden us downtown, evacuated the house of the people, today we
stop massively mobilized people, it hits them, they are baton. The human and financial
disproportionate employed to break the engagement. Posing as criminal people struggling
against a law that aims to precarious work and drastically diminish life expectancy more
precarious. We can not we rise up to such methods. But whatever punishment we will remain
united and mobilized!
Therefore we demand:
An immediate end to all legal proceedings;
The decision by the government of undermining the social movement;
The immediate withdrawal of the labor law!

railway sector he will join the dance? A real Interfederal call for renewed strike finally

federations CGT, FO and SUD-Rail finally say all three they call for renewed strike , it
will be from Tuesday May 31 evening! UNSA and CFDT also filed a notice for an indefinite
period from that date. ---- We must stop with the strikes of 24 or 48 hours that no longer
serve for nothing in the context where we are today. Worse, they divide us, we are
needlessly losing money and weaken us. ---- Last week, the CGT-Railwaymen Federation has
worked to prevent general meeting decided to continue the strike beyond 48 hours; SUD-Rail
and FO federations were for the extension, but several regions their unions were opposed.
CGT, SUD-Rail, FO or not syndiqué.es, strikers on several sites, have renewed the movement

Two comrades from Azerbaijan, detained on 10th of May under the charges of spraypainting
the monuments of Haydar Aliyev. After they were tortured and with some conspiracies two of
them arrested. In support of our comrades Bayram Mammadov and Qiyas Ibrahimov, and to
raise the solidarity with them, there were some spraypaintings in Azerbaijan Park in
Istanbul. ---- Every momument statufiered is a step towards to authority, every monument
we destroy is a step towards to freedom.

The movement started since March 9, still getting stronger. The PS is close to the
breaking point. Build the alternative of working men and women! ---- Even stronger! ----
Despite a real difficulty to make the majority strike, our movement expands and
radicalized with the support of popular opinion. ---- In every profession, in every
business, in local inter-union with the Standing Nights is the time to accelerate: strike,
blockade, sabotage, all means must be used according to the balance of power. ---- We can
not lose because after the defeat of 2010 on pensions, another defeat on labor law itself
would have dramatic consequences on the confidence in the collective struggle, the
struggle unionism.
Against repression
Banning of demonstrations, beatings and gassings at any cost, arrests of trade unionists,
the state uses all his weapons to contain the movement; in vain! In most cases, fuel
depots blockages removed by force resettle the next day! For any and all activists
prosecuted since early March, the best defense is to win the withdrawal of labor law.
The government wanted to make an example of Goodyear and Air France. He failed to scare
Valenciennes, Antoine, a young militant CGT, refusing his immediate appearance, remains in
custody until his trial on 9 June. Antoine Free!
