BBC Cuba tightens control of internet after protests 18 Aug 2021

The Cuban government has introduced new regulations on the use of social media and the internet, which critics say are aimed at stifling dissent.

The decrees were published in the wake of the largest anti-government protests to sweep through the Communist-run island in decades.

People used social media to share footage of the demonstrations and galvanise supporters.

The decrees make inciting acts "that alter public order" a crime.


 反政府デモがわりと活発に行われ、その連絡にSNSが使われていたようだなというわけだ。公共の秩序を乱すような行為を抑制するために―という、大変標準的な言い方である。

BBC Assam-Mizoram clash: 'It was like a war between two countries' 9 Aug 2021

Violent border clashes between India's north-eastern states of Assam and Mizoram last week left several dead and many more injured. Subir Bhaumik travelled to the region to find out how a long-running border dispute was affecting the lives of locals.

The regional Mizo National Front (MNF) rules Mizoram and is part of Northeast Democratic Alliance led by India's governing Bharatiya Janata Party. Neighbouring Assam is also ruled by a BJP government. But that didn't prevent leaders on both sides from accusing each other of provoking the violence.

Mizoram said it is now facing an "economic blockade" with Assam preventing vehicles to travel to Mizoram.

Mizoram depends on supplies from Assam, a much bigger state that is home to some 30 million people. Battling a raging Covid-19 pandemic, the state said it's also running out of medicines, oxygen cylinders and testing kits.


A small river flowing through the area separates the police camps of Mizoram and Assam, with federal forces deployed between them to maintain peace.

 ミゾラムとしてはインド本土とアッサム経由でしかつながってない。そんなわけで経済封鎖の危機は常にある。いやあ流石にそこまではしないよぅ、と言われようとも、このCovid危機のさなかである。

BBC India elections: Modi party defeated in West Bengal battleground 53 minutes ago

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party has failed to win a key state in elections held amid record Covid-19 deaths and cases.

The BJP targeted West Bengal heavily during campaigning but it was comfortably held by the incumbent, Mamata Banerjee, a fierce Modi critic.

Mr Modi has been accused of focusing on polls rather than the pandemic.

Elections also went ahead in Assam, Tamil Nadu and Kerala states as well as the territory of Puducherry.
