India’s ‘Little Tibet’ seeks autonomy

For more than two months, the inhabitants of one of the most mountainous countries in the world, Ladakh, have been protesting to demand autonomy that India has promised them, but has not delivered. They seek to protect their ecosystem and their Tibetan-rooted culture—no coincidence that it is known as Little Tibet—and they demand to stop being marginalised by New Delhi. Thousands have protested in the streets in February and March, calling for a new government system that responds to these demands: a state of their own within the Indian federation, or constitutionally protected autonomy.

The Basque Autonomous Community parliament election on 21 April reveals two facts. The first is that the centre-right Basque Nationalist Party (EAJ-PNV) will retain the presidency thanks to its traditional alliance with the Socialist Party. The second is that left-wing, pro-independence Euskal Herria Bildu has succeeded in synthesizing, under Pello Otxandiano’s leadership, an alternative proposal to PNV’s. This fact—unlike the previous one—is unprecedented in the Basque Country’s recent history. Keep reading

“Never again” turns 30 in Rwanda

Rwanda, the small Pays des Mille Collines in the heart of the Great Lakes region of Africa, with a little over 26,000 km2 and some 14 million inhabitants, marks 30 years since its 1994 genocide. That event marked recent African and world history and became one of the most important failures of the international community in terms of the responsibility to guarantee international peace and security, to which the II World War victorious powers pledged themselves.

Turkey’s local elections marked by uncertainty over Kurdish political future

Turkey holds local elections on 31 March amid uncertainty over the Kurdish dossier’s immediate future. If the main pro-Kurdish party, the People’s Equality and Democracy Party (DEM), wins the mayorships in the main cities of Northern Kurdistan, it remains to be seen whether the Turkish government will allow it to govern or, as has been the case for the past 8 years, will impose hand-picked trustees. In the background, the big question is whether there will be steps—and what kind—towards political negotiations between Turkey and the Kurdish movement. Keep reading
