By *Nazmi Gur*
July 20, 2015 -- At least 30 people were killed and more than 100
injured on July 20, when a suicide bomber from the self-styled Islamic
State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) group attacked a cultural centre in
the Kurdish town of Suruç, on the Turkish side of the border from
Kobane. The victims were members of the Federation of Socialist Youth
Associations (SGDF) who were travelling to help with the reconstruction
of Kobane that has been in the front line against ISIS. The following
call for international solidarity was released on July 20 by *Nazmi

<http://links.org.au/node/4515>
Statement of the *Socialist Alliance (Australia) national executive*
July 16, 2015 -- Socialist Alliance condemns the effective imposition of
colonial status on Greece by the ruling institutions of the European
Union (EU), which represent the interests of the big banks whose

This is a coup and a brutal assault on democracy.

<http://links.org.au/node/4519>
*Robert Craven and Olivia Marple*
July 20, 2015 -- Amid cheers of “/Cuba sí/, /bloqueo/ /no/” (Cuba yes,
embargo no), hundreds gathered on Washington, DC’s busy 16th Street to
bear witness to the symbolic close to one of the more misguided chapters

Links seeks to promote the international exchange of information,
experience of struggle, theoretical analysis and views of political
strategy and tactics within the international left. It is a forum for
open and constructive dialogue between active socialists coming from
different political traditions. It seeks to bring together those in the
international left who are opposed to neoliberal economic and social
policies. It aims to promote the renewal of the socialist movement in
the wake of the collapse of the bureaucratic model of "actually existing
socialism" in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
