At independence, Democratic Yemen inherited just 360 primary schools.
By 1977, it had nearly 1,000 schools, made education free, founded Aden University, and raised pupil enrollment by 312%.
The pursuit of socialism turned colonial neglect into people’s education.
Insiste el gobierno de #EEUU en que se propone actuar militarmente contra #Cuba porque "el país está devastado... y sería un honor liberarlo".
Lo cínico e hipócrita es que EEUU lleva décadas tratando de devastar al país con una guerra económica y este gobierno lo hace aún con mayor empeño en los últimos meses con dos Órdenes Ejecutivas genocidas.
Tanto el bloqueo económico y el energético, y las nuevas medidas coercitivas extraterritoriales; como la amenaza de agresión militar y la propia agresión son crímenes internacionales.
reflections as an educator: some many of yall should NOT be educators. teaching k-12 and college has just shown me how much educators at all stages of learning truly just wanna hate on their students. just power tripping. no value of learning, children or students!
Ibrahim Traoré meets African students in Moscow: "Take advantage of learning in a practical way so that it serves our country. When the country is weak, it is doomed to disappear in this predatory world. We have to be strong."
On this day in 1961, Fidel Castro declared the socialist character of the Cuban Revolution for the first time.
He delivered the speech in honor of seven Cuban personnel killed the previous day in a bombing attack by CIA-funded rebels targeting several airfields near Havana. The attack was a prelude to the Bay of Pigs invasion, which began the following day.
Up until that point, the 26th of July Movement (M-26) had included a range of ideological currents, from nationalists to social democrats. The nationalization of industry, followed by this speech, marked a decisive socialist turn in the revolution—culminating in the creation of the Communist Party of Cuba in 1965.
Cubans rallied in Guantanamo, demanding the removal of the US torture camp. Communist leaders condemned Trump’s migrant deportation plans as a human rights violation. The base, long used for coups and counter-revolutionary plots, is seen as a threat to Cuba’s sovereignty.
Today, in Black History Month, we remember the FBI’s most wanted communist woman, Assata Shakur! Listen to the Black revolutionary explain how the struggle against imperialism is the fight for the liberation of oppressed people worldwide.
Btw Fidel arrived in New York City to speak at the UN General Assembly but no hotel would accommodate him due to pressure from the American government to humiliate him, until Malcolm X arranged the stay and security for him and his delegation at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem.
FIDEL (1989): "Yankee imperialism thinks that Cuba will not be able to resist and that the new situation that has arisen in the socialist camp will allow it to inexorably subdue our Revolution.
Cuba is not a country where socialism arrived after the victorious divisions of the Red Army. In Cuba, socialism was forged by Cubans in an authentic and heroic struggle...
We have never aspired to having custody of the banners and principles which the revolutionary movement has defended throughout its heroic and inspiring history.
However, if fate were to decree that, one day, we would be among the last defenders of socialism in a world in which US imperialism had realized Hitler's dreams of world domination, we would know how to defend this bulwark to the last drop of blood."
We know that many of you, like us, are trying to wrap your heads around what the next few years will hold. These are a few titles that have helped us think through what we are up against and the resistance we need. Please read them, share them, use them. https://t.co/sC5Rz6UHx0
The global neglect of Sudan reinforces the claim which Steve Biko made about black people being on our own. That's why we have to unite to solve our problems because the international community is not interested in saving us.

“We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.”
