Reem Al-Riyashi – Daughter of Al-Zaytoun

On 14 January 2004, Reem Saleh Al-Riyashi, 22 years old, became the first female martyr of the Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades.

Reem grew up in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City, one of ten children, six boys and four girls, the eighth in the family. She excelled in her studies, achieving 96% in high school, and chose to study engineering, though she postponed her academic projects to get married and raise her children.

Her path to the resistance began in high school, influenced by resistant thought. She made her intention for martyrdom known to leaders, including the martyred Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who advised her to focus on raising the next generation of youth to love the cause and embrace sacrifice.

When men’s movements were heavily restricted during the Second Intifada, Reem was called upon to act.

The Operation

At 9:37 a.m., 14 January 2004, Reem carried out her martyrdom operation at Beit Hanoun crossing “Erez”. She had inspected the site days earlier, studying the mechanisms carefully to know how to move through it.

Reem detonated the explosive belt, killing four zionist soldiers and injuring ten, four critically. Zionist forces quickly surrounded the area. Reports confirmed indescribable damage. A zionist commander stated:

The perpetrator of the “Erez” operation deceived the soldiers during the security checks. She exploited their preoccupation and suddenly advanced toward them before detonating herself.

A Historic First

Reem was the seventh Palestinian female resistance martyr, the first within Al-Qassam Brigades, and the first from Gaza. She was 22 years old, a mother of two.

This operation carried deep messages: the first female martyrdom mission prepared by Al-Qassam Brigades after previously rejecting the option. It demonstrated the determination of Palestinian women to rise for the cause, even as mothers and students.

From Reem’s Will

“I turn to you without men, because I no longer see men among us, only remnants of them in Palestine and Iraq. You are the remaining hope for this Ummah after it has been emptied of men. You are responsible for leading this nation toward victory, dignity, and honor after men resembling men dragged it into humiliation and disgrace that spread from its east to its west.”

Reem Saleh Al-Riyashi – daughter, mother, student, hero, martyr.

On the War Crime of Disproportionate Use of Force and Bombing That Killed 3 Mangyan-Iraya Children in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro

There is no military, legal or moral justification for the relentless bombardment carried out by the 203rd Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in Abra de Ilog, Occidental Mindoro last January 1 that killed three Mangyan-Iraya children and terrorized entire Mangyan communities. Reports suggest that the AFP dropped at least 12 bombs and conducted aerial strafing in the area. These bombings and indiscriminate firing against civilians are tantamount to war crimes, and the NDFP Special Office for the Protection of Children hold the 203rd IB and Marcos Jr. as their commander-in-chief, directly responsible.

Under International Humanitarian Law, the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution are absolute. The bombing of areas where the Mangyan national minorities live constitutes a blatant and deliberate violation of these principles. The deaths of the three children, two youth, and now the AFP’s continuing refusal to release an unarmed civilian in their custody expose that the AFP’s so-called “counterinsurgency operations” are in essence indiscriminate attacks on civilians.

These attacks are grossly disproportionate, and the AFP knew fully well and yet deliberately ignored that Mangyan-Iraya children and civilian families would be in the areas they were bombing. But they proceeded regardless.

Since the time of war criminal Gen. Jovito Palparan, Mindoro Island has been turned into a permanent killing field, with the 203rd IB at the center of systematic violations of human rights and international humanitarian law. For decades, Indigenous Mangyan communities have been subjected to indiscriminate bombings, enforced evacuations, food blockades, the military occupation of civilian spaces, the harassment, and interrogation of children, and the routine collapse of the distinction between civilian and combatant. Under the current Marcos Jr. regime, Mindoro is effectively under de facto martial law, marked by constant troop deployment, aerial bombardment, checkpoints, surveillance, and restrictions on movement – conditions under which Mangyan communities, and especially children, continue to be treated as expendable in an ongoing counterrevolutionary war against the people.

We demand the immediate cessation of all AFP military operations in Mindoro, including aerial bombings, combat patrols, and so-called “clearing operations” that continue to place Mangyan communities in grave danger. The de facto state of martial law in the island must stop.

We further demand the immediate release of Chantal Anicoche, whose continued detention under the custody of the AFP forms part of a broader campaign of repression against those defending the rights of indigenous communities. We warn the Marcos Jr. government and the AFP that the international community is watching closely, and that those responsible will have their day of reckoning.

The NDFP Special Office for the Protection of Children will continue to monitor, document and expose these violations of IHL and children’s rights committed in Mindoro, and will pursue all available avenues to hold perpetrators accountable. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the three Mangyan-Iraya children and to all victims of militarization in Mindoro.

Police Claim 1 Guerrilla Killed And 2 Arrested In Encounter With Security Forces In Begusarai District

A person believed to be a CPI (Maoist) cadre was killed, while two others purported to be his associates were arrested, following an exchange of fire with security personnel in Bihar’s Begusarai district late on Wednesday evening (December 31, 2025), a police official announced to the press today.

According to the police official, the deceased has been identified as Dayanand Malakar, also known as Chhotu and Kuldip. Malakar was said to be a secretary of the Maoist party’s North Bihar Central Zonal Committee.

A resident of Hamodis village under Birpur police station of Begusarai, Malakar had taken shelter in Nonpur village under Teghra police station of the district, the police official alleged.

Acting on intelligence inputs, joint teams of the STF and district police went to the spot where Malakar was hiding along with two of his associates. On spotting the security personnel, Malakar opened fire in an attempt to escape, prompting police to fire back. He was injured in the ensuing skirmish and later declared dead when taken to the nearest government hospital. Two of his associates were arrested, the police official declared in his remarks to the press.

The police recovered one 5.56 mm INSAS rifle, a country-made pistol and 25 live and 15 spent cartridges from the site of the encounter, the police official stated in conclusion.

The Occupation Exploits “International Habituation” to Turn Winter Into a Tool of Mass Killing: PFLP

Thousands Of People In India Honor Martyred CPI Member Ganesh Uike

In India, around 10,000 people gathered to pay tribute to the revolutionary leader and member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), Paka Hanumanthu, known in the revolutionary movement as Comrade Ganesh Uike. He was laid to rest in his hometown of Pullemla, in the district of Nalgonda, state of Telangana, on December 28.

Uike was reportedly killed on December 25 in an offensive by India’s state forces in the forests of Odisha, between Kandhamal and Ganjam. Five other revolutionaries were martyred with him, including two women.

Comrade Ganesh, 69, joined the armed movement in 1982. As a member of the Central Committee, he was recognized as a steadfast cadre and a symbol of determination in the struggle against the oppressive state.

In the speeches delivered during the funeral, democratic organizations and progressive parties condemned the state for its brutal attack against the Indian people. They also highlighted Uike’s long service to the Maoist movement and his “tireless resolve” against oppression and for the rights of the rural poor.

The Comrade Ganesh Uike’s funeral is a massive demonstration of mass support for the revolutionary movement in India and as a protest against the Modi regime’s military campaign—the Kagaar operation that began in 2024. March participants waved red flags while carrying the coffin of the communist leader, shouting “Ganesh Amar Rahe!” (Ganesh is immortal!) and “Lal Salaam!” (Red salute!).

NPA Units in Negros Suspend All Offensive Operations — Philippines

Starting 12:00 am today, all New People’s Army (NPA) units including its auxilliary militia and section guerilla forces in the five guerilla fronts of Negros halt all its offensive military operations against state security forces in strict compliance to the ceasefire order issued earlier by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). This suspension will take effect until 11:59 pm tomorrow and will resume its effectivity on December 31 to January 1 next year.

All units are instructed to assume active defense posture and refrain from conducting any action that will negate the purpose of CPP’s ceasefire order. However, they should maintain a high level of vigilance against all forms of treacherous attacks and provocative maneuvers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP) and its paramilitary forces and always ready to give battle to fend off any attacks or intrusion of their positions.

The Apolinario Gatmaitan Command (AGC-NPA) stands in solidarity with Negrosanons in their simple celebrations of the traditional Christmas and New Year holidays amid the backdrop of grave and worsening socio-economic crisis.

Speaking of “Morality” and “Poison”: ELN

Colombia is plagued by paramilitary groups, from traditional ones like the Clan del Golfo and Pachencas, to the diverse gangs of former FARC members, ranging from the “Arañas” in the south of the country, to the “Mordiscos,” “Calarcás,” “Pescados,” and “Mechudos” in the Catatumbo region.

This system, which began with the infamous “pájaros” (birds), was further developed during the visit to the country by U.S. General William Yarborough in February 1962. At that time, he established operational guidelines for a counterinsurgency force that “operated outside the State” but was deeply intertwined with it.

The general also added recommendations to conduct censuses to control the population in the regions and, of course, to carry out interrogations using polygraphs and “other aids” when suspects were captured. Then, in the 1980s, with the help of the DAS (Administrative Department of Security) and the National Police, the infamous Israeli Colonel Yair Klein arrived to give the monstrosity a third push, placing it in the hands of the drug lords, the very ones who moved with impunity through the 13th and 4th Army Brigades—you know who I’m talking about.

Thus began the alliance that persists to this day: paramilitaries, drug traffickers, and the Armed Forces; of course, the three sisters from the north—the DEA, CIA, and FBI—couldn’t be left out. Naturally, the heads of these “forces” occasionally had their little squabbles—you can imagine why; there’s no need to be so explicit, it’s best to leave something to the imagination. This alliance resulted in paramilitarism, used as a counterinsurgency tool financed by drug money, and also by the money that the three sisters would funnel to provide liquidity to the North’s financial system.

At the end of the last century, while the Americans pushed Plan Colombia in the south of the country, supposedly to combat drug trafficking and the insurgency, they shamelessly gave the paramilitaries (AUC) free rein in the north to finance the counterinsurgency war with drug money. At that time, the three sisters turned a blind eye, just as they did when Colonel Oliver North financed counterinsurgency operations around the world with “drugs.” It was the season when the paramilitaries became infamous, in a macabre way, playing soccer with human heads—ah, those were the days!—certain figures now on the brink of justice will say.

Now we are indeed in the “fourth generation” of paramilitaries, both of the former and the latter. The former are among the “Clans” and “Conquistadores”; the latter come from the “Arañas” and other groups, but they continue to be financed by drug trafficking, and the government negotiates with them, whether in Qatar, Guaviare, Putumayo, Nariño, or Catatumbo. They also have their little fights with them, just like before, but they continue to move around in military helicopters and those convoys. As you can see, it’s a negotiation that serves the interests of narco-paramilitarism. Oh, and the three sisters are still around, coordinating their less-than-friendly plans against Venezuela with the Colombian Armed Forces and these gangs.

Of course, in Colombia the plan is to fight for territory, to wage the kind of counterinsurgency that the oligarchy and the Americans like. Drug trafficking money, just as it has been used to finance the counterinsurgency war, has also been used for political campaigns, thus serving the political regime; and beyond that, it has also been invested in the economy and even in soccer. As you can see, this is not a “moral” issue, but essentially an economic and political one.

Just as the three sisters treat it to prop up the power of the empire, just as Trump uses oil, while all of humanity sees it as the poison that is killing the planet, he steals it like a gangster to trade it. And we are faced with a “good example of morality,” since the Northern Empire is sustained by both of these “poisons.”

ADDENDUM 1: Has anyone considered what would happen if Trump, megaphone in hand, decided to tell the Colombian military the same thing Petro said to the American military?

ADDENDUM 2: Meanwhile, Yair Klein remains under Netanyahu’s protection in Israel, who I imagine has already been nominated by the Norwegian Nobel Committee for the next Nobel Peace Prize. Everything changes, like “morality” in the context of “poisons” and “peace” with narco-paramilitaries.

2 CoBRA Jawans Injured In IED Blast Triggered By Alleged Naxalites In Bijapur District

Two jawans of the CRPF’s Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) unit suffered injuries when an improvised explosive device (IED), allegedly planted by Naxalites, went off in Chhattisgarh’s Bijapur district, a police official announced to the press today.

According to the police official, the explosion took place on Sunday afternoon, when a joint team of security personnel was out on an anti-Naxal combing operation in the Farsegarh police station area. Personnel belonging to the Special Task Force (STF) and District Reserve Guard (DRG) — both units of the state police — and CoBRA were involved in the operation, which is still underway.

When the patrolling team was cordoning off the forest of Farsegarh-Pillur Kandlaparti, an IED allegedly planted by Naxalites exploded, causing minor injuries to two CoBRA jawans. The injured personnel were shifted to a hospital in Raipur, where their condition was reported to be stable and out of danger, the police official said in conclusion.
