A Fox News Digital investigation by journalist Asra Q. Nomani says it has identified 101 organisations in 13 countries involved in organising, coordinating or amplifying protests. The report, titled Global ‘Chaos Inc’ grows to 101 groups with plans for new rounds of demonstrations, follows an earlier count of 50 organisations associated with student protests in France. That number was reported at 54 by 19 October before reaching 101 in the latest findings.
The inquiry began with student demonstrations in France over deteriorating school conditions, including staff shortages and inadequate facilities. Fox News argues that the protests later drew support from labour unions, political parties, socialist and communist organisations and advocacy groups pursuing broader political objectives.
The investigation names Indian Alliance Paris, a France-based organisation of students, researchers and professionals, as a group allegedly linking protest messaging in France and India. According to Fox News, it has promoted demonstrations in France while expressing solidarity with young protesters in India. One social media post cited in the report stated, “to Gen Z: In France. In India. Bravo for today.”
Progressive International, also highlighted, discussed protests in France, Spain, India and Albania in a 16 October briefing and raised the question of whether the movements could become organised political power. In India, protests have included demonstrations against the Election Commission, with participants demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The report presents these developments as cross-border solidarity, while noting that shared messages and expressions of support do not by themselves show that the demonstrations are directed by one organisation.
A central figure is Neville Roy Singham, an American-born technology entrepreneur living in Shanghai, whom Fox News associates with a network of communist and socialist groups. The outlet names BreakThrough News, CodePink and the Party for Socialism and Liberation among organisations it connects to that wider activist network, alleging that they amplify protests through media coverage, online campaigns and political messaging. BreakThrough News has reported on demonstrations in France and India as part of a broader movement against austerity and government policies.
The investigation also examines Tricontinental, a research institute led by Vijay Prashad. On 18 October, Prashad compared protests in Paris, New Delhi and Buenos Aires in a post on X, writing, “Paris-New Delhi-Buenos Aires,” followed by, “Let fury have the hour, anger can be power.” Fox News treats these examples as signs of shared political messaging and encouragement to mobilise. The extent of direct operational coordination remains a separate question.
According to an IANS report, the US House Ways and Means Committee subpoenaed BreakThrough News, Tricontinental and the People’s Forum in July 2026, adding scrutiny to organisations associated with Singham.
The Fox report also points to further demonstrations planned in France for 24 October and a youth strike scheduled for 20 November across parts of Europe. It says those events could give activist groups further opportunities to exchange messaging. The findings question how transnational networks shape protests that arise from different political and economic conditions, while saying that common slogans, media coverage and public support are not enough to establish a single coordinated leadership.
