 Hello and welcome to today's episode of the 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 protesters condemn Handog Burhan deal. Venezuela's ruling PSUV secures major victory in elections. Cast and Boric to lead in Chile's presidential runoff. Canadian police arrest indigenous land defenders. In our first story, Sudan's deposed Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdog has been reinstated after an agreement with the military. The 14-point document was signed between Hamdog and co-leader general Abdul Fateh al-Buran on November 21. The Prime Minister will now oversee a government of technocrats until the election in July 2023. The deal was secured after the release of all political prisoners arrested since October 25th coup. However, the ministers of the dissolved transitional government will not return to cabinet if they are released. The agreement has been rejected by Hamdog's main political base, the forces of freedom and change coalition. Key forces behind Sudan's December Revolution including the resistance committees condemned the deal. Sudanese Professionals Association has called it a betrayal of the blood of the martyrs. The Sudanese Communist Party has also called for the continuation of civil disobedience and political strike under the slogan, no bargain, no partnership, no compromise. Protests continued on Sunday after the agreement was announced. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Khartoum, Omderman and Barry. Protesters chanted that Hamdog had sold the revolution. Security forces attacked people with tear gas and live bullets. The Central Committee of Sudanese doctors stated that a 16-year-old was shot and killed in Omderman. The death toll in Sudan's anti-coup protests has reached at least 41. In our next story, the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela or the PSUV and its allies have won 20 out of the country's 23 governorships. The National Electoral Council announced the preliminary results based on data from 90% of the voting centres as of November 21. 21 million Venezuelans were eligible to elect over 3,000 governors, mayors, regional legislators and local councillors in Sunday's elections. Over 130 international observers, including delegations from the European Union, were present. Official data shows a voter turnout of 41.8% which is an improvement over the 30% reporter in the December 2020 election. President Nicolas Maduro welcomed the initial results calling it a historic victory of the revolution. The government has been able to achieve key milestones including a 75% vaccination rate against COVID-19 while under crushing sanctions. Sunday's election took place following key political developments in Venezuela in the past few months. Several rounds of talks were held between the Maduro administration and the US-backed right-wing opposition. A key outcome was the opposition ending its boycott of the election after three years. However, the Venezuelan government withdrew from the talks in October following the illegal extradition of diplomat Alex Saab. He was detained in Cape Verde while on his way to Iran to negotiate trade deals for food and medicine. Saab pleaded not guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering during his hearing in a US court last week. President Maduro stated on Sunday that there would be no talks with the opposition saying that they would have to respond to Saab's kidnapping. Next, we go to Chile which held its presidential elections on November 21. First, far-right Republican Party candidate Jose Antonio Cast is in the lead with 27.9% of the votes. With 99.9% of the votes counted, left-wing candidate Gabriel Boric has secured 25.8%. He is a current deputy and former student leader who belongs to the Approved Dignity Coalition. The outcome of this election will have a key impact on the long-standing demands for change expressed during the 2019 social outpost. A major part of this is the constitutional convention which is working to replace the exclusionary Pinochet-Ira text. The next president will oversee a referendum on the new document in 2022. Jose Cast is planning to continue neoliberal policies including cuts to public spending. He has proposed the strengthening of support for armed forces and stricter immigration policies similar to the United States. He will also continue military deployments in the indigenous Biobio and La Arocania regions where the Mapuche peoples are fighting for their land and self-determination. Meanwhile, Gabriel Boric has proposed more funds for social services and progressive taxation. He has also pledged to replace the privatised pension system to a public one. He has said that he will introduce police reforms and has opposed the militarisation of Mapuche territories. He has also supported the legalisation of abortion, equal marriage rights and single-parent families. Cast and Boric will now head to the run-off election schedule for December 19. And for our final story, we look at the ongoing repression against indigenous land defenders in Canada. Since November 14, the tribes of the unceded Vetsuetan Territory have blockaded the Morris River Forest Service Road in British Columbia. The blockade took place after the coastal gas link, a CGL pipeline project failed to abide by an eviction order. The notice was issued by the Giddimton Checkpoint based on a January 2020 order by Vetsuetan Hereditary Chiefs. CGL averted the original eviction through a Supreme Court injunction. Meanwhile, Vetsuetan tribes have also set up the coyote camp for nearly two months to prevent drilling in the area. They have argued that this will impact sacred headwaters, drinking water and the Salmon Spawning River. Even after the eviction was enforced, CGL refused to evacuate its workers, leaving about 500 people in two worksites standard. On November 18, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police attempted to dismantle the blockades set up by land defenders on the Morris River Forest Service Road. Officers arrested 14 people, but the blockade continued. It has been reported that one person was released with no charges and eight have been released with conditions. The crackdown continued on Friday with the arrest of another 15 people, including two community elders. Among them was activist Slado, who is also known as Molly Wickham. We are peaceful, we are unarmed, but we are powerful and we don't fear you. We are only a few here. I'm an elder of the Sienta, our Kasia territory. All I want to know is what your intentions are. I want to speak to your DLT, any responses. We are praying, we are in ceremony. You must wait. We have water protection ceremonies happening. This is a sacred water that we are in ceremony with. What are your intentions? You are not. Right now you're in civil contention of a court order and be arrested. Do you understand? There's an elder here. There's an elder here. You're under arrest. No, I'm media. You're under arrest. I am media. Photojournalist Amber Braykin and documentary filmmaker Michael Toledano were also arrested. Following the solidarity actions were organized in several paces on Saturday. Dozens of protesters blocked an intersection in the city of Gulf. Protesters were also held in Peterborough, Victoria and Montreal and Toronto, where train tracks were shut down. Protesters also blocked a highway bypass in the city of Caledonia.
