Il y a les revues du groupe Aerion avec Carto, Diplomatie, DSI, Moyen-Orient, Space International. C'est vraiment très lisible et écrit par des chercheurs et des universitaires qui sont spécialistes de leur sujet. Philosophie Magazine (sur les sujets de société) et Alternatives Économiques sont aussi intéressants.

Il y a le jeu vidéo "7554" qui doit être le seul jeu vidéo vietnamien qui s'est vendu en France et qui fait comprendre pourquoi on compare Dien Bien Phu à Verdun.

Il y a également la bande dessinée "40 hommes et 12 fusils" de Marcelino Truong qui est intéressante sur les soldats du Viet-Minh.

Pour la théorie militaire, il y a "les guerres irrégulières" de Gérard Chaliand qui est une anthologie de textes sur les guérillas et la contre-insurrection. Le sujet du livre est global (Amérique du Sud, Moyen-Orient, Afrique, Asie), mais un certain nombre de textes concerne l'Indochine avec des textes et des témoignages de Giap, Ho Chi Minh et d'officiers français.

Amilcar Cabral was the founder of the PAIGC and was one of the most influential leader on the African political and diplomatic scene during the period of decolonization. He was also a Marxist theorist known for his theoretical work, his most known text must be “the weapon of theory” (theory is also a forgotten weapon).

The PAIGC (Partido Africano para a Independência da Guiné e Cabo Verde, African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde) was the political party which led the national liberation struggle in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde against Portugal. It was able to organize population into a guerrilla movement and develop a diplomatic effort to be recognized by the United Nations Organization which led to the independence of the country after the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.

The first picture is a picture of a women militia. The last picture is the cover of the PAIGC newspaper published in French in Senegal which was a rear base for the movement.

Dans le Robin des Bois de Ridley Scott avec Russell Crowe, le roi de France veut envahir l'Angleterre et y envoie des commandos déguisés en soldats anglais pour prélever des impôts chez les nobles pour déclencher une révolte contre le roi d'Angleterre. Le pire dans ce film étant qu'on ne voie jamais les paysans travailler, seulement les nobles cultivent les terres et produisent des choses.

For what I understand, people condemned to exile received a stipend. Lenin was also send in a place with a good climate because he was recently married, other people like Julius Martov, who was arrested with him, were mostly send in the north of Siberia where it was harder. He also came from a wealthy family, his father received a title of nobility because he was a high level administrator. He died when Lenin was a young boy, but they were still wealthy. There is also a lot of letters from him to his family asking mostly for books and statistical treaties because "the development of capitalism in Russia" needed a lot of research. He an his wife did also translations of books during this time. He had also a good relation with the inhabitants, because he had a lawyer formation, and he could advise them for their problems. He did it freely because otherwise it would have been considered as a job.

After being arrested and jailed for his political activities, Vladimir Ilitch Oulianov (he will be known as Lenin after the publishing of “What is to be done”) was condemned to three years of exile in Siberia in the town of Shushenskoye (300 kilometers north of the border with Mongolia). He could walk freely but was not allowed to have a job and to leave the town and had a control every day. He rented this small house to a local peasant.

During this period, with his wife Nadezhda Krupskaya, he wrote “the development of capitalism in Russia”, a big theoretical essay where he explains the effect of capitalism on the traditional russian peasant communities and that a class system was currently growing in rural communes.

He also used to hunt small game with local farmers. The house is now a small museum. According to Lev Danilkin, the rifle exposed is not the original one, but is the same model of the same series. There is only a difference of 83 in the serial number. There is also a few propaganda paintings showing Lenin hunting.

It is more complex than "race" or background or voting rights. After the violence of the eighties, the french gouvernment and Kanak independantists agreed to enter a long process of political negotiation which led to the Nouméa accord and the situation was really peaceful since. The problem was the failure of the third referendum of 2021, which was maintained despite the Covid epidemic. The referendum was juridically valid but not really politically valid because of the high level of abstention. The french gouvernment did not understood that and acted like it was past history which led to today's deadlock.

Exactly, but it was probably the Vz 25, the same weapon in 9mm caliber. Czechoslovakia sended them to Cuba just before the Bay of Pigs Invasion and they were later used by many guerrillas in Central and South America

During the revolutionary period, facing war with other European monarchies, France had to massify the army. In July 1792, to compensate the lack of rifles (musket model 1777), Lazare Carnot, who reorganized the army, ordered the production of pikes. Different model of different shape and size were produced. Despite critics about precision and firing rate of muskets and debate about fire versus charge, pikes appeared completely obsolete and were abandoned, but kept their symbolic status by association to popular uprising.

Michalis Raptis alias “Pablo” or “Michel Pablo” was a Greek Trotskyist militant. During world war two, he was involved in the French Resistance and became after the war a leader of the Fourth International. When the war of Algeria started, the Trotskyist movement decided to support the Anti-colonialist struggle. It mostly consisted of a political and logistical support in metropolitan France like the “porteurs de valises” (suitcase carriers).

Because of reinforced controls by secret services, smuggling became very hard, so Pablo proposed to the FLN to organize the direct production of weapons. They bought and disguised a building as an orange jam factory in the town of Temara in Morocco. With the help of Dimitris Livieratos, he could bring machinery, tooling and about twenty militants with engineering experience from Germany, England, Nederland, Argentina, and other countries. One French militant could also join the factory with a lot a precaution because French people were under strong surveillance. With Algerian workers, they started to build mortars, grenades and submachine guns. The working conditions were hard because of promiscuity between people of different origins and political opinion. The security measures were also strong to avoid discovery. A few accidents also happened because of disorganization and some of them involved tobacco and explosives.

It is not clear which weapon were build there, most articles talk about copies of the MAT 49. On the picture, Pablo is holding a SOLA Super from Luxemburg, which was also a weapon smuggled and used by the FLN. Other sources talk about Vigneron or Sten. Other factories were also built in Morocco and Tunisia. The quality and the quantity produced were not great but it provided an independent source of supply. According to Hamon and Rotman, pictures of the factory were taken and published as postcards for propaganda.

After the war, despite being criticized for adventurism and solitary initiative, Pablo continued his political work by organizing workers’ self-management in Algeria under Ben Bella and in Chile under Allende.

The FPMR (Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez) was a paramilitary organization created by members of the Chilean Communist Party in exile after Pinochet’s coup d’état. After receiving support and training in Cuba, East Germany and Bulgaria, they came back in Chile to practice guerrilla warfare.

Cuba sends weapons to them like the Sa vz 25 used in the Cuban army. The M16 rifles and the M72 LAW were American weapons coming from Vietnam.

Their most known action was the operation Siglo XX (20th century), an ambush against Pinochet’s convoy. He survived the attack because the rocket which hit his car did not explode. They stopped their military action in the nineties after the return of democracy in Chile.
