MOVING FROM 2025 T0 2026 .<\/big><\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 46%;\">\n<p align=\"justify\">\nLooking back over the past year, here are the themes of the CPNN bulletins in 2025 and their updates<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThe people take to the streets in protest against the support of their governments for the Israeli genocide in Gaza and in protest against the growing authoritarianism of the government of Trump in the United States. This was the theme in February, March, July, September and November including major manifestations for peace and human rights in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Iran, Israel, Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Belgium. <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThis month we publish an update of the movement against Trump, an <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37440\">interview with three of the major organizers <\/a> of the demonstrations in the United States who see a growing unity between the anti-Trump forces and traditional socialist organizations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThe latest article about the protests of Israeli genocide highlights the <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37445\">>arrest of Greta Thunberg <\/a> in London for having shown in public a placard that supports the banned organization Palestine Action.  Over 2,000 people have been arrested by the UK government for such actions, an extraordinary attack on freedom of speech and support by the government for the Israeli genocide.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nWhile the countries of Europe and North America continue their move towards authoritarianism and their support for Israeli genocide, more progressive actions took place in Africa and Latin America.  This was the theme in January, August and December with articles from South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ecuador, Chile, Cote D&#8217;Ivoire and Niger.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nThis month we carried articles from Mexico, Tunisia and Burkina Faso.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"float: right; width: 46%;\">\n<p align=\"justify\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37405\">In Mexico<\/a>, the Sinaloa State Congress held an event entitled \u201cCulture of Peace for Sustainable Development: 2030 Agenda in Action,\u201d with young people from different parts of the state.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37417\">In Tunisia<\/a>, the African Union successfully convened the 6th High-Level Africa Forum on Women, Peace and Security.  Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, paid tribute to the women of Sudan, standing firm amid conflict; the women of the Great Lakes region, persevering in protracted crises; and the women of the Sahel, who sustain communities despite insecurity and displacement. He concluded by asserting: \u201cTheir resilience reminds us that women are central pillars of peace and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37380\">In Burkina Faso<\/a>, the government headed by Ibrahim Traore has increased food sovereignty by providing credit and distributing agricultural machinery to small farmers.  This can provide a model for other countries in Africa who import their food.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nContinuing a CPNN tradition, the bulletins of April and October were devoted to the global mobilizations for International Women&#8217;s Day and the International Day of Peace.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nFinally, a new theme was added in the CPNN bulletins of May and June, 2025.  They announced the Peace Manifesto 2025, saying that CPNN cannot be content to report the news for a culture of peace. We must create it.   <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37452\">This month <\/a> we publish an update on the Manifesto with a new strategy based on the development of Activating Teams.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\nLet us hope that more and more people will take to the streets in 2026 for peace and human rights, that Africa and Latin America will continue to provide leadership, and that the Peace Manifesto can become viral on social media.\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table width=\"93%\">\n<tr>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>FREE FLOW OF INFORMATION<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org?p=37431\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/freeflow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37464\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nJulian Assange says peace prize has become \u201cinstrument of war\u201d and sues Nobel<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37380\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/sustainable.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"137\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37466\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nAgricultural offensive: how Burkina Faso is moving towards self-sufficiency in food production<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>DEMOCRATIC PARTICIPATION<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37397\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/democratic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"136\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37467\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nSpain: Documentary \u201cInternational Zone of Culture of Peace\u201d in Manzanares El Real<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>WOMEN\u2019S EQUALITY<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37417\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/women.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"146\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37468\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nTunis, Birth Place of the Name, \u2018Africa\u2019 hosts 6th Forum of Women, Peace and Security (WPS)<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table width=\"93%\">\n<tr>&nbsp;<\/tr>\n<tr>&nbsp;<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>TOLERANCE &#038; SOLIDARITY<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37445\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/tolerance.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"146\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37469\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nGreta Thunberg Arrested in UK for Supporting Palestine Action and Opposing Gaza Genocide<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>EDUCATION FOR PEACE<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37390\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/education.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"194\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37470\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nInternational Institute for Peace Education 2026 Spain<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>HUMAN RIGHTS<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37440\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/humanrights.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"159\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37471\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nUnited States: The Resistance Moves Left<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"25%\">\n<p>DISARMAMENT &#038; SECURITY<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/?p=37422\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/english.cpnn-world.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/disarmament.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"154\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37472\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nInternational stability, human security and the nuclear challenge: Yearbook of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.
