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]

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]

Stop occupation and warIn June 2007, the eight biggest capitalist powers will meet in Germany, in the city of Heiligendamm. These G8 meetings have assumed a symbolic character representing the imperialist policy all over the world: While the world's mightiest are enjoying their cheerful get togethers, dinner parties and cocktails, their armies are bombing innocent people, fighting repressing and torturing civilians, crushing legitimate resistance elsewhere in the world. Their corporations are looting resources belonging to other peoples in other parts of the world, their companies are exploiting the world's poor and undefended to satisfy their masters' greed. Their diplomacies are pressurizing sovereign countries in order to make them subjugate under imperialist interests.This is what G8 … [read more]

Anti-Western sentiment dominant among popular massesThe last Serbian elections showed a net polarisation. On one side there are the anti-Western forces led by the Radical Party (SRS) which remains by far the strongest party. Then there is still the Socialist Party (SPS) which could once again surpass the 5% threshold. Together they represent the popular classes. On the other had there is the pro-Western governmental so-called "Democratic" bloc which led the counter-revolution against the Milosevic government in the interest of imperialism. The main result of the election was that within the Western bloc the completely pro-Western Democratic Party (DS) gained to the detriment of the bourgeois nationalist Kostunica. The profiteers of neo-capitalism and neo-colonialism - and those who hope … [read more]
