„Wir trommelten die Jugendlichen, die nationalistischen Gruppen, die religiösen Organisationen zusammen. Wir bildeten sie zwei bis drei Tage aus, dann schickten wir sie los, um Kommunisten zu töten.“

Vor 60 Jahren töteten Militär und islamische Verbände in Indonesien Hunderttausende Kommunist*innen. Der Putsch wurde zum Symbol des Scheiterns der antikolonialen Staatsbildungen im Globalen Süden.

I’ve been going without pay for 7 weeks for nothing. This feels like a slap in the face from someone who was supposed to represent me. They used federal workers as pawns and then couldn’t even stick to the leverage that was supposed to gain them? No discipline in these electeds. Primary them all.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Op de Amerikaanse begraafplaats in Margraten is het opeens stil geworden rond de zwarte Amerikanen die hielpen Nederland bevrijden. Twee panelen die hun bijdrage herdachten – én wezen op hun strijd tegen racisme binnen het leger – werden zonder toelichting verwijderd.
