 The year 2011 comes to an end. From the website of the IWL-FI we want to share a retrospective summary of articles and notes that were published over a year which is, no doubt, unforgettable.A year marked by revolutions and strong demonstrations of the working class and the youth that, internationally, face starvation and adjustments plans that both, “democratic” and dictatorial governments, have attempted to impose, at the service of a capitalist system stuck in a brutal economic and political crisis.Although it has started in late 2010, it was in 2011 that the impressive revolutionary process has fully developed shaking North Africa and the Middle East. This impressive revolutionary process has been currently advancing more and more and has already overthrown a number of bloody dictatorships that were, for decades, at the service of imperialism and Nazi-Zionist state of Israel. Thus, from our website, we have made every effort to highlight a significant amount of information and news, as well as several analysis and controversial debates on all popular revolutions that have occurred in these troubled regions, beginning with Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Palestine and other processes of mobilization, such as those that occurred even within Israel and in Bahrain. Read the articles about the struggles in North of Africa and Middle East Tunisia: For a complete victory of the Tunisian Intifada Palestine: Arab revolution reaches Palestine Libya: Support the Libyan people to overthrow Gadhafi! No to the NATO intervention Libya: People in arms demolish Gadafi’s regime! Egypt: Mubarak fell! Great triumph of the Revolution in Egypt! Egypt: A revolution underway Syria: In spite of the repression, the heroic struggle of the Syrian people accrues In the same vein, we paid special attention to the working class and young people’s demonstrations and strikes that shook the European continent to fight back the brutal attacks on their historical rights and living standards by the local bourgeoisie and the imperialism as a whole, under this real social war that the capitalists of the world have unleashed against the peoples of the continent.
