State Violence as a Structural Feature of Modern Political Orders
How does a state turn violence into “law”?
Using the example of French rule in Algeria (1830–1962), this article explores how colonial power transformed legal systems into tools of domination. Through military repression, racial hierarchies, and exceptional laws like the Code de l’indigénat, injustice was normalized and entire populations were stripped of political rights and human dignity. From massacres and torture to legal exclusion and cultural erasure, the Algerian case reveals how state violence operates not as an accident of history, but as a structured system designed to silence, control, and dispossess. Discover how these mechanisms continue to shape modern power — and why understanding them remains crucial today.
Forgotten Kurdistan
Across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, more than 30 million Kurds — the world’s largest stateless nation — continue to face repression, displacement, and political marginalization. From the broken promises of post-WWI treaties to modern-day crackdowns, Kurdish identity, language, and self-rule movements have repeatedly been denied or suppressed. In Syria, Kurdish-led regions that helped defeat ISIS now face renewed military pressure and political uncertainty. In Turkey and Iran, activism is often framed as a security threat. In Iraq, hard-won autonomy remains fragile and contested.
Explore how a century of diplomacy, war, and regional power struggles has shaped the Kurdish struggle for recognition — and why it is far from over.
Media Manipulation in Iran Today: How the Government Controls the Narrative
As protests swept across Iran in late 2025 over economic collapse and political discontent, the government responded not only with force in the streets but with an aggressive campaign to control information. A near-total nationwide internet blackout in January 2026 — one of the longest in the country’s history — cut millions off from the global web, while extensive filtering blocked millions of websites, including news outlets, human rights platforms, and major social media apps. These actions are part of a broader pattern of strategic shutdowns and digital censorship aimed at silencing dissent, limiting protest coordination, and preventing evidence of abuses from reaching the outside world. By restricting access to independent reporting and shaping official narratives, authorities seek to control both domestic perception and international understanding of the unrest — highlighting how digital censorship has become a central tool of political power in Iran.
Discover how digital censorship has become a powerful tool to silence dissent, shape narratives, and hide the reality behind the unrest.
