This analysis of the far right in Brasil is spot on - and to me it also describes the politics of ressentiment in the UK and the US as well. It is just that in these two countries, it is targeted at migrants. www.equator.org/articles/bra...
Ever since Brexit and Trump, when the political weather changed so dramatically, the left has responded with two narratives: we either paint the far right as a revolt of the elites without a real popular base, or as a revolt of the left-behind, of a working-class betrayed by liberal elitism.

Neither of these narratives persuades me. Rather, I believe the contemporary far right is a cross-class phenomenon. One way to understand it is as a movement that brings together an underclass that has given up waiting on the promises of modernisation – formal work, accountable institutions, real equality before the law – and an elite who no longer even pretends those promises are on offer.

Between them lies the hardest core of true believers – not the largest group statistically, but the most passionate – which I call, borrowing a phrase from Orwell, the “lower-upper-middle class”. These are people who fall between two stools: they have a good standard of living but lack the assets or social capital of the true elite. They are not only haunted by the fear of downward social mobility, but also threatened by any minor upward mobility achieved by those below them, as during the Pink Tide in Latin America, when the poor became less poor – began attending university, travelling internationally and so forth. This generated a feeling of resentment that was easily instrumentalised.

It always goes back to logistics:
Israeli-linked aviation networks have also played a role in weapons logistics connected to the RSF. The aviation solutions provider BAR Aviation, owned by Israeli businessman Barak Orland, regularly facilitates cargo movements, allegedly involving weapons supplies (AI, 18/11/24). Its aircraft have been used to transport weapons to neighbouring countries, forming part of a wider regional supply chain connected to the RSF. 

However, the relationship with Tel Aviv is not limited to equipment and logistics. Sources familiar with discussions in Washington said the US strongly pushed back against Israeli plans to position intelligence officers inside Sudan before the war. The officers were expected to work closely with the RSF.

The outbreak of war did not sever the RSF's channel with Israel. Instead, the relationship appears to have continued as the RSF has expanded its reliance on foreign networks for intelligence, surveillance, weapons and military technology. For the RSF, access to Israeli intelligence and surveillance capabilities offers significant advantages in a conflict increasingly shaped by drones targeting and battlefield intelligence. As for Israel, maintaining a security channel with the RSF provides access to an influential armed actor in the country.

THREAD: this investigation took up over half my year, but it's here in @thecontinent.org: A Djiboutian drone strike in January was depicted as a army operation targeting rebels. It was actually a massacre of civilians. The bloodshed & coverup implicating Ethiopia, Djibouti, France & Turkiye. #OSINT

 INVESTIGATION
 The Djiboutian massacre 
Ethiopia won’t acknowledge
 Djibouti drones killed eight people on the other side of its 
border with Ethiopia. Djibouti claimed they were terrorists. 
Ethiopia said nothing. This investigation found that some of 
the dead were Ethiopians, revealing another episode in Addis’s 
tendency to let its neighbours kill its citizens with impunity. 
Crossing the line: Djibouti’s bombs landed inside Ethiopia, killing civilians – not armed fighters.
 zecharias zelalem 
On 30 January this year, a drone manned 
from Djibouti dropped a bomb on a 
funeral gathering in Siyaru, a remote, 
semi-arid village near the Ethiopia
Djibouti border. As rescuers rushed in, a 
second bomb dropped. And then a third.
 At least eight people were killed, 
including three children. Several 
others were injured. Given the village’s 
remoteness, the incident might have 
gone unreported if graphic images of 
the dead hadn’t spread across Ethiopian 
social media. 
A statement from the Djibouti’s 
defence ministry said the drone struck 
rebel fighters from the Front for the 
 Restoration of Unity and Democracy 
(Frud), a Djiboutian political party with 
a military wing. It has been fighting for 
Afar interests in Djibouti since the 1990s. 
The Afar are a community split by the 
colonial border separating Ethiopia, 
Djibouti, and Eritrea. 
“Eight terrorists were neutralised on 
site,” said a Djibouti military statement. 
“Unfortunately, collateral damage 
among Djiboutian civilians in the area 
has been documented.” 
International media, including Voice 
of America, Agence France Presse, and 
Radio France Internationale reported 
this version of events.
 Now, new findings from an open
In recovery: Mariam Mohammed Abdullah was 
injured in the drone strike.
 source investigation by The Continent 
reveal a different reality. 
The bombs landed inside Ethiopia, 
not in Djibouti, and civilians – not armed 
fighters – were killed. That distinction 
matters. It shows Ethiopia is once again 
tolerating a foreign military targeting its 
own citizens, as it did with Eritrea during 
the Tigray conflict.
 A transparent lie
 Even before the ink could dry on the 
Djiboutian military’s statement, The 
Addis Standard and human rights groups 
in Djibouti were emphatic that the strike 
had actually occurred inside Ethiopia’s 
Afar region. But Alexis Mohamed, an 
adviser to Djiboutian President Ismaïl 
Omar Guelleh, rubbished these reports 
in now-deleted social media posts.
 The Continent got to work to figure out 
what really happened. Over the course 
of eight months, we collected eyewitness 
testimonies, interviewed human rights 
activists in Ethiopia and Djibouti, and 
examined images and footage from the 
strike. Our findings align with those of 
Djiboutian activists, who pinpointed 
Siyaru in Ethiopia’s Afar region as the 
site of the strike. 
The ammunition residue found on the 
night of the strike confirms the bomb 
was manufactured by Roketsan, a state
run weapons manufacturer in Türkiye.

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 208 of The Continent A gold discovery near Zambia’s West Lunga Park has triggered a chaotic rush. Thousands have flooded Kikonge, clashes have turned deadly, and illegal buyers are cashing in. A gold rush means risk, riches, and unrest. bit.ly/TC_208
This is the cover of The Continent, dated 9 August 2025, Issue 208. It is illustrated by Wynona Mutisi.
The background shows a forest scene at dusk, painted in shades of blue and purple. Among the trees are tents in muted yellows, greens, and oranges, suggesting a mining camp.
In the foreground, a man in a hoodie and carrying a pickaxe stands over another man who has fallen backwards, reaching up toward him. To the left, two uniformed soldiers aim rifles at the scene, partly hidden by the trees.
The bottom of the image shows dark earth embedded with scattered gold nuggets. The headline reads: “Multinational and deadly: Zambia’s latest gold rush.”
