A first balance sheet of the Chianciano conference by the Free Iraq Committees ItalyA political successThe international conference of Chianciano has been a big political success. For two long years we have been fighting to be able to hold it. Finally we could realise it in the best way possible.We hate triumphalism and who follows us will now this. But in this case we really want to express our satisfaction. 18 speakers from the Middle East were present at the conference. This result was possible both thanks to the victory on the "visa front", outcome of a long political battle, as well as because of the big interest among the resistance forces in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan etc.At Chianciano a broad range of the components of the Iraqi resistance intervened especially with … [read more]

Its outcome will determine the future of the region and eventually also that of the entire humanity.The imperialist offensive - led by the US and supported by the other imperialist bandits and helped by their local satraps - began against Afghanistan and culminated in the invasion of Iraq.

In this frame there is no space left neither for governments nor for nations which refuse to subordinate to American … [read more]

Ahmed Ould Daddah second in first roundSunday, March 11, the first round of the presidential elections in Mauritania took place which are the first to be regarded as democratic. In the last decades there used to be a military dictatorship controlled by the Western imperialist powers. The important fact is: the candidate of the democratic anti-imperialist coalition, Ahmed Ould Daddah, who scored second with some 20%, will participate in the second round challenging the candidate of the old regime. Many believe that, if no major electoral fraud will be carried out, Daddah has good chances to become the next president of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. Daddah is not only supported by his movement ("Rassemblement des forces dà©mocratiques") holding 16 seats in parliament but by a broad … [read more]

by the Party of Labour of Iran (Toufan)Stop the war!No sanctions, no bombs against IranThe US has, directly after its occupation of Iraq, been building up several military bases close to the Iranian border.The US has made repeated demands on the Iranian government to accommodate to US policies concerning the "new American order". Replacement of the regimes in Iraq, North Korea and Iran is, and has been, part of the Bush doctrine. Right now, as the US has failed in Iraq, its war-mongering against Iran is on the increase. The US has now dispatched two aircraft carriers to the Gulf of Persia and placed 50 warships just off the Iranian coast. The US accuses Iran of possessing nuclear arms or of aiming at producing them. This is the hysterical US propaganda against Iran, in spite of the fact … [read more]

We respect all forms of struggle used by all organisations and movements in different countries and different circumstances in order to put an end to exploitation and oppression.The Camp advocates the highest unity in the struggle against the common enemy, declaring that imperialism is the most cruel of all capitalist systems. Thus, it cannot be overthrown without putting an end to national, social and class injustice and inequality. The struggle against imperialist globalisation can only be an International one. Thus, it needs the broadest and most unitarian and radical mass mobilisation, in the South as well as in the North, in the East just like in the West.We consider it as our aim to help this coordination through communication, information and unity in action on a world scale. We … [read more]

12th-14th March 2007, Delhi West Asia is currently becoming the global flashpoint, with US imperialism seeking to remould the region to its liking. Israel, its closest ally in the region, is also seeking to destroy the Palestinian nation. The catchall slogan of "War against Terror," post 9/11,is a cover for the aggressive designs of the US-Israeli axis, shown by the occupation of Iraq and possible military strikes against Iran.nUnfortunately, the Government of India's the vote in IAEA on Iran and its continued military relationship with Israel in which India has become the largest importer of arms from Israel, has deeply compromised its foreign policy. To highlight the above issues and generate a wider solidarity for the people under occupation and military threat in the region, a 3-day … [read more]

Kammer, Geschäftszahl IV Z BO 1, February 13, 2007Regardless of all empty talk of the rule of law the German authorities once again confirm that they feel in no way bound to the UN charter of Human Rights and all connected international regulations: "it is not relevant whether the armed struggle is in line with the conceptions of the United Nations".Nevertheless they arrogate themselves to teach us lessons on democracy - a democracy whose export version our people is currently suffering. While they do declare the breach of any democratic right by the US-led war and occupation of Iraq as enshrined by the UN charter … [read more]

Interview with Prof. Dr. Ashraf el-Bayoumi, member of the Anti-colonialist Anti-Zionist Committee, Vice-president of Alexandrian Association for Human Rights Advocating Q: You have been involved in the opposition movement in Egypt for many years, you were active in Kifaya and one of the main organizers of the First Cairo Conference, held in December 2002. What was the development of the opposition movement since then, what happened to Kifaya?El-Bayoumi: We have to ask ourselves, where the opposition movement is today.

That was a symbolic gesture … [read more]

Beitrag von Aug und Ohr - GegeninformationsinitiativeDie Mobilisierung gegen den nunmehrigen US-amerikanischen Kriegsflughafen Dal Molin in Vicenza (übrigens benannt nach einem Renommier- und Vorzeigepiloten der faschistischen Diktatur, Tomm(m)aso Dal Molin, der vom damaligen Außenminister eine der höchsten Ehrungen des italienischen faschistischen Reiches erhielt, bevor er bei einem bedauernswerten Unglück im Gardasee absoff) ist konsequent aufgebaut worden, und zwar von unten.Es ist - in erster Linie - eine Bewegung der Bevölkerung von Vicenza, eine sogenannte "transversale" Bewegung, wie man in Italien sagt, also quer durch die politischen Bewegungen und Kräfte gehende Sammlungsbewegung, worin aber keineswegs auch nur der Ansatz eines systematischen Zusammenwirkens zwischen Links … [read more]
