In our first story, at least three people were arrested after a protest against a military coup in Myanmar today. Amid growing civilian resistance, the military has blocked Facebook and restricted other social media platforms till February 7th. Activists have launched a civil disobedience movement campaign starting February 3rd. Healthcare workers in over 70 hospitals across 30 towns also went on strike on Wednesday. Doctors, nurses and other workers have stopped work stating that they will not obey orders from the illegitimate military regime. Workers in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation reportedly also joined the civil disobedience movement today. Media reports said. People have also protested by banging pots and pans for the past two nights in Yangon. Depot State Council, Omsang Suki, is now facing charges of violating import and export laws and possessing unlawful communications devices. Burmese police filed the charges on February 3rd and have demanded Suki in custody till February 15th. The outstretched President, Vin Mint, has also been placed under custody for two weeks for violating COVID guidelines against public gatherings. Both Suki and Mint have been detained and unconfirmed locations since the military coup on February 1st. The military has imposed a state of emergency for one year and all power has been handed over to the Commander-in-Chief. The military has also established a state administrative council consisting of 11 members. The SAC has appointed new election commissioners as well as the governor of the central bank. Lawmakers from Suki's National League for Democracy party were ordered by the military estate to vacate their residences in the national capital within 24 hours. However, according to the BBC, at least 70 lawmakers have refused to leave a government guest house and have declared that they will call a new parliamentary session. In our next story, the Canadian federal government has designated a far-right white supremacist group Proud Boys as a banned terrorist organization. 12 other groups were added to the list on February 3rd, as the government stated that right-wing extremist ideology posed a threat to domestic security. The Public Safety Department issued a statement announcing that each group met the legal threshold specified in Canada's criminal code. The move to place the Proud Boys on the terrorist list was a result of unanimous resolution in the Canadian parliament in January. Public Safety Minister Bill Blair also acknowledged the racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic politics of the group. The Proud Boys have actively mobilized racist anti-black protests in the US. They were also part of the mob that attacked the US Capitol building on January 6th. Two members of the organization have been charged in relation to the riot so far. A terrorist designation in Canada means that the government can restrict the activities of specified organization. The government can also impose penalties, withdraw charitable status and restrict the movement of those associated with the organization. Canada is the first country to list Proud Boys as a terrorist entity. We now go to Palestine where the health ministry started administering COVID-19 vaccines in part of the occupied territories governed by the Palestinian Authority. The announcement was issued on February 2nd after Palestine received 2000 doses of the vaccine on Monday. Though the government is hoping to receive 50,000 additional doses from other sources, this would still leave a majority of around 5 million Palestinians at risk. Israel's decision to provide only 5,000 doses of the modern vaccine to Palestinian frontline workers has been widely criticized. This denial of adequate vaccines will worsen the conditions in the occupied territories which have already recorded 180,000 cases so far. Here is Abdul Rahman of People's Dispatch to talk about the barriers to vaccine procurement faced by Palestine. Palestine is a country of around 5 million people. We are talking about West Bank and Gaza to occupy territories which are basically governed by the Palestinian Authority. And the health infrastructure under the Palestinian Authority is not good for the reasons which are quite obvious. The occupying forces which means Israel has systematically destroyed the health infrastructure in the country and because of the destruction and because of the lack of the fund which is tightly controlled by the Israeli occupation forces, the overall situation of the health infrastructure is really bad in the country. Even during the pandemic when the pandemic was on and even now when the lockdown is going on, Israel has constantly attacked the health infrastructure and there has been a UN report which says that how in last year basically Israel has increased those attacks despite the fact that there is a pandemic going on. In that context, if we see the outbreak of COVID which has impacted very badly in both West Bank and Gaza, more than 1,60,000 people have been infected and more than 1,800 people have died because of this disease. Even during that when the vaccination started, Israelis continuously denied Palestinian Authority the access to vaccination which has led to the allegations by the Palestinian activists, by the international human rights organizations, even the Israeli human rights organizations that Israel is practicing what is called the vaccine apartheid or the medical apartheid is the Palestinians. Israel has an obligation under the Geneva Convention that the occupied territories it has to provide for the health infrastructure for the occupied territories which it has completely failed to do. And when Palestinian authorities approved the vaccine Sputnik Russian vaccine because it was not approved by Israelis they did not let Palestinian Authority buy it. Even Palestinians want to buy something the Israelis do not let them buy it and after a lot of pressure the Israelis finally agreed to give them only 5,000 vaccines for a population of 5 million only 5,000 vaccines and that too will be as per the decisions will be given to Palestinians in phases. Right now only 2,000 vaccines have been given with which the Palestinian Authority has started vaccination and we don't know what the other vaccines when when when will they arrive. The according to the Palestinian health ministry there will be 50,000 so far there are 50,000 vaccines which have been assured from different sources most of which will come with the COVAX international initiative and even but the dates of that is not final. The primary the Palestinian Authority wants to vaccinate at least 70% of the population so that there is some level of resistance development of the people which which as as if now looks very difficult given the fact that Israel is not cooperating a country which itself is the leading vaccine which is leading the countries in the world in vaccination. It has vaccinated almost 33% of its population so far is not letting the Palestinians which are under their occupation and letting them have access to vaccines. This particular phrase this particular situation has been done by the Palestinian activists at the vaccine. For our final story today we go to Sudan where the transitional government is set to initiate a reshuffling of the cabinet and the sovereignty council. As per the 2019 agreement between the transitional military council and the civilian forces of freedom and change an interim legislative council will also be set up. These upcoming changes follow massive protests for democratic reforms across Sudan in December 2020. Here is Dr. Fatih El Fath from the Sudanese Communist Party to talk about the upcoming changes and their impact on the 2018 revolutions agenda. When they are speaking now about forming a government within the force of February or even establishing the this body by the 25th of February I don't think this first of all this is a clear violation of the constitutional document which was adopted in the period after the overthrow of the ship and they are going with I mean this new alliance between the military in the sovereignty council the representative of this so-called revolutionary front of the rebel groups plus three political parties this is the the basis the basis mainly Sudan the Sudan Congress and the national community these three parties are the real parties and having this new alliance today which is proposing this new steps to establish a cabinet and so on and so forth. So our position that this is now they are trying to use the quota principle to distribute offices of the cabinet ministries among themselves to add some people to the sovereignty council maybe to appoint new governance for the the different provinces and so on and so forth away from the main trend within the street because there is a real contradiction existing now in the Sudan between the the forces who are seeking a radical change in the country and are mainly represented within the committees the the resistance committee and the trade union the professional alliance I mean these are the forces which are today fighting against these proposals of force of force of February and so on so I don't envisage because they have their own plan which means they are changing everything which was adopted earlier within the constitutional document and the political document to suit the new alliance and in a sense that means a real betrayal of the revolution that's why today for example we are calling for a change in the in power that we are fighting to establish a broad front to change the the balance of forces first and second really to to establish a government which represent the aspiration of the people we don't expect the formation of any government or sovereignty council which they will add two or three from the rebel group and they will change some of the civilians and so on we really affect the policies being implemented in the country that's all we have time for today we act tomorrow with more news from around the world until then keep watching People's Dispatch
