I just received this from a comrade in Brazil. The events in Pakistan
affect a huge and rapidly radicalizing working class. Not to mention the
effects on Pakistani workers abroad.
Cheers,
Hugh

Comrades,
Today, October 10th there was a military coup in Pakistan. Apparently,
because we only have information from CNN and BBC, the coup was successful.
The airport of Islamabad is closed as the TV and radio stations. There is no
information on the objectives and reasons of the coup. What we know is that
there was some unhappines among the militaries because of the war against
India on Cashemire some months ago. Not even in the last messages we
received from there [was there any mention of]
military mobilization or the possibilities of a coup.
A comrade from Spain was there in the last weeks [for a] Conference but
has left the country last thursday and maybe he can have more informations.
[...]
For all that this coup means for the forces of Marxism and in general it's
important the immediate mobilization of the left against this coup and its
consequences, including in relation to the situation with India and the
question of the nuclear weapons.
