This year’s May Day rallies in
Nigeria marked a sharp shift to the left among the rank and file
workers. Trade union leaders that were admired and respected until

Marxist ideas is growing.
Arab supporters of the Venezuelan
revolution have launched a new website at http://arabic.handsoffvenezuela.org. Its aim is to build up
solidarity for the revolution in Venezuela in the Arabic speaking
countries and help in the work of developing the revolutionary
movement in the Arab world.
Beginning on March 8, International Working Women’s Day, the “Rank and File” Tendency of the National Student Union in Morocco organised a week of activities around the question of the emancipation of women. We publish here a report of the week of action. Picture gallery available here.
