Dear friends, we have just learnt of a crime currently being committed by the South African government against thousands of informal miners. It's hard to believe, so here are a few sources. We will of course also organise solidarity from Marikana. Unfortunately, we hear nothing about protests against the state-organised fascist agitation and violence against the migrants.

We, the continental coordinator of mineworkers, hereby protest against the inhumane treatment, bordering on criminality, inflicted on immigrants by the South African Government.

We, the participants of the Duisburg rally on the "Day against Violence against Women", send you our solidarity greetings and our sisterly sympathy.

The preparatory group for the establishment of the European coordination of miners is protesting against the actions of the South African government against the more than 4,000 miners who are underground in the mine at Stilfontein. For about five weeks they have been cut off from supplies to their families. It is inhumane that the South African police have blocked the entrances and that anyone who comes out is immediately arrested on charges of illegal gold mining.

As Uganda gears up to start oil production in 2025, controversy over the proposed East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) has pitted economic development against environmental protection and human rights.
A recent European Parliament resolution seeks to delay the 1,443-kilometer pipeline, which is supposed to transport crude oil from western Uganda to the Tanzanian coast. The non-binding resolution cites risks to both countries' protected natural reserves, water sources, and wetlands and notes that use of the oil will result in up to 34 million tons of carbon emissions annually (European Parliament, 2022; Independent, 2022).

Dear comrades. We, Moroccan miners, are sorry to hear about the news of the threat of our comrade from Germany Andreas Tadysiak to his housing stability, which he occupied for years, during which he spent the flower of his youth working in the company's mines. Is the patronal miners so greedy that one of its workers is deprived of his and his family's housing stability?
