Ecuador's President Lenin Moreno is intended to raise taxes, liberalize labor laws and cut public spending to get more than $4 billion in emergency financing from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). On October 2, as a part of this plan, Moreno eliminated a subsidy on the price of fuel, driving gasoline from $1.85 to $2.39 and diesel from $1.03 to $2.30. Protests at installations were launched in the country's Amazon oil fields, halving the country's oil production. Indigenous people flooded the streets of Quito and even entered the National Assembly on October 8, chanting "El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido!" On October 13, after Moreno ordered a 24-hour curfew to re-establish control in government buildings and media offices, the army took to the streets. At least seven people have been killed and more than 700 people have been arrested since the beginning of the protests.
Following Turkey’s military invasion of Syria on Wednesday, October 9, the International Relations Committee of the Communist Party of Israel (CPI), released the following statement:
“With the blessing of the US imperialism, Turkey has launched new military operations in northern Syria against the country’s people. This latest invasion is a blatant and flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria. Turkey’s invasion comes at a time when a glimmer of hope had appeared for the termination of the long bloody war.
