Morsi has fallen. The magnificent movement of the masses has once more shown to the entire world the authentic face of the Egyptian people. It shows that the revolution, which many even on the left believed to have stalled, still possesses immense social reserves. Despite all the lying propaganda that tries to present the revolution […]

François Hollande has decided to flex his muscles. Based on the “threat of Islamic terrorism”, the French president has deployed 1,700 soldiers in Mali, and another 800 are expected to arrive within a few days.
