    AlJazeera's "Protests Agregator 

    "Israel has for decades played a thoroughly useful role for autocratic regimes seeking to maintain control. Arab leaders have been able to encourage the public to direct their anger at the Zionist treatment of the Palestinians, thereby reducing the risk of protests directed at themselves.

    That broke down with the 2011 Arab Spring, when a region-wide movement of people turned out to protest against their leaders. Some regimes, including Egypt and especially Syria, attempted to maintain control through brute force, while others used a mixture of limited concession and repression. Others, such as Jordan and Morocco, were rather more concessionary at least in the short term, and one, Tunisia, saw a change of power with the end of the Ben Ali autocracy after its 23 years of control.

    After the violence of the Hamas attack on 7 October last year, public reaction across Arab states was muted, but that changed rapidly as the sheer ferocity of the Israeli assault on Gaza and the Palestinians emerged."

    "From Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail”:

    "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”"

    140324 guarantee minimum crop prices, , "NEW DELHI (AP) — Thousands of farmers protested in India’s capital on Thursday to press their demand for a new law that would guarantee minimum crop prices, after weeks of being blocked from entering the city.

    They rode crowded buses and trains instead of their tractors to New Delhi after authorities barricaded highways into the capital with cement blocks and barbed wire. Police also banned use of farm vehicles as a condition for granting permission for the rally in the city. Participants were also barred from carrying sticks or swords to avoid clashes with police.

    The protesters held placards demanding free electricity for farming. They contended that without minimum price guarantees for their crops, they would be at the mercy of the markets and that would spell disaster, especially for the more than two-thirds of them who own less than 1 hectare (2 1/2 acres) of land."

    The Czech farmers, specifically, demand the
    •  lower taxation of farmland ownership and want the

    • low prices of their products and say grain and other agriculture 
    • products coming from Ukraine and other countries harm the market.

    060324 Farmers threaten to bring Poland to a halt after police clashes, by Aleksandra Szmigiel, Kacper Pempel and Karl Badohal; March 6, 2024

    The protesters had gathered at the prime minister's office in the Polish capital, 
    • burning tyres and 
    • throwing firecrackers as 
    • they demanded a 
      • halt to 
        • cheap imports and 
        • environmental regulations they say harm their livelihoods.
    Farmers across the European Union have been calling for changes to restrictions placed on them by the bloc's Green Deal plan to tackle climate change, and for the re-imposition of customs duties on imports of agricultural products from Ukraine that were waived after Russia's invasion.

    Indias Farmer's protests

    < 0,8% GDP = Rural [Economic] weakness 

    The farm sector, which accounts for about 15 per cent of the US$3.7 trillion economy, continued to struggle due to unfavourable monsoon rains. It contracted 0.8 per cent in the December quarter, compared with 1.6 per cent growth in the September quarter.
    Slowing rural growth dragged down farm incomes and some farmers have hit the streets demanding higher price procurement prices. 
    Rural weakness has led to slower growth for major retail companies like Hindustan Unilever and Britannia Industries
