 Hello, you're watching International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you some of the top stories from around the world. Let's take a look at today's headlines. Sudanese forces killed at least two during protests. Canada holds annual march for indigenous women. Protests in Pakistan over disappeared Baloch student. And UN urged to cut ties with Balore group over rights abuses. Sudanese security forces killed two protesters during another round of nationwide protests on February 14. The Central Committee of Sudanese doctors recorded 172 injuries, including 20 from live bullets. Hunta forces continued the illegal practice of firing tear gas canisters directly at protesters, injuring 82 people. Five people were also run over by vehicles. Thousands of people took to the streets in at least 17 cities on Monday. Rallies and barricades were organised in places including Blue Nile, Kasala, North Kordafan, and South Darfur. Protesters in Khartoum North also crossed over and joined the mobilisation in Omdurman. Meanwhile, the march in Khartoum assumed its regular route to the presidential palace as security forces deployed tear gas. Protesters in the northern state also continued the blockade at roads leading to Egypt, which is known to be supporting the Hunta. Despite an escalating threat of violence, protesters have continued against the Hunta led by Abdul Fattah al-Burhan. However, a leader of the Empowerment Removal Committee, Mohammad Al Faki, was arrested by security forces on Monday. Two other members of the organisation were also arrested on February 13. The committee was formed after dictator Omar al-Bashir was ousted by the 2019 December Revolution. It worked to remove members of al-Bashir's Islamist National Congress from state structures. The Hunta has already reinstated several such members since the October coup. The 31st annual Women's Memorial March was held in Canada on Friday 14. A thousand people gathered in Vancouver to honour missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and trans, and two spirit people. The march is organised to demand justice and concrete action from those in power. Protesters in Vancouver tore down the statue of a man called John Dayton, which symbolised the oppression and harm caused to Indigenous peoples. Marches were also held in cities including Montreal, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. The Native Women's Association of Canada has estimated that there could be up to 4,000 missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls in the country. There are seven times more likely than non-Indigenous women to be a victim of murder. Indigenous women are also three times more likely to be victims of violent or sexual assault. Activists have decreed, continued in action and say that cases often go unreported and uninvestigated. In 2019, the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls presented its final report. It made 231 recommendations to address what is described as a race-based genocide of Indigenous people. In response, the federal government introduced a National Action Plan and allocated $2.2 billion over five years to address the crisis. However, activists have argued that the action plan did not contain concrete steps and little progress has been made. Next, we go to Pakistan where protests are taking place against the alleged enforced disappearance of a student. Abdul Hafiz has been missing from the Khuzdar city in Balochistan since February 8. His father told the BBC that Hafiz had been teaching children at an education institution. Armed masked men entered the classroom and took him away to an unknown location. Hafiz is an MFIL student in physics at Islamabad's Kuwait-e-Azam University. Protests against his disappearance and other cases of unlawful arrests have been held in Khuzdar, Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Pakistan have been extensively documented by organizations including the UN. The Voice for Baloch Missing Persons Group has documented at least 5,000 cases in Balochistan alone. Rights groups have accused security forces of taking people into custody and then denying all knowledge of their whereabouts. The Human Rights Council of Balochistan reported 67 disappearances and 37 killings in December alone. On February 3, the body of another student, Itesham Baloch, was discovered in Panchgur after he had been taken away by unidentified men. According to the Balochistan Post, at least 48 people have been detained in the past 10 days. The search followed recent attacks on the headquarters of the paramilitary frontier corps. The attacks in Panchgur and Norshki were claimed by the Baloch Liberation Army. And finally, 72,000 people have called on the United Nations to end its business with the French Balore Group. A petition organized by the Oakland Institute and Rainforest Rescue was delivered to the organization on February 14. Balore has been involved in rubber and palm oil plantations through its subsidiary SOCFIN. The company controls nearly 400,000 hectares of concessions in Asia and Africa. Communities in countries like Sierra Leone and Cambodia have repeatedly condemned land grabbing and environmental destruction by SOCFIN. They have also been subjected to violence, intimidation, and arrests. SOCFIN has repeatedly, also reportedly, also been involved in conflicts with forest communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South-Om Prinsip. In 2021, 145 people from Cameroon filed a case against Balore citing violations of human and environmental rights in palm oil plantations. The petition has asked Balore to provide documents confirming its ties with SOCAPAM via SOCFIN. SOCAPAM has been accused of polluting local water and blocking access to burial sites. The case was dismissed by a court in France in January. Balore was also sued in 2019 for failing to uphold commitments to local communities and workers. SOCFIN has also been accused of corruption and illegal practices while securing port concessions in Africa. Despite these records, the Balore Group is paid over $50 million by the UN each year for logistics and other services. And that's all for today's episode.
