Jan 17, anniversary of the aggression of 1991Solidarity with the Iraqi ResistanceIraqi Resistance, whether it be civil or military action, is the exact opposite of terrorism. Terrorism is illegal political violence. The invasion of Iraq constitutes an act of terrorism, as does the bombing of infrastructure, flats and the Iraqi defenders. The continued occupation of Iraq is terrorism. Mass-arrests and shots against demonstrations are acts of terrorism. Everybody who takes action against this, no matter in which way, is acting in accordance with international law, which is explicitly proclaiming the right of resistance against occupation.Iraq today is the field of a decisive political conflict. If the Anglo-Saxon war of aggression successful, pacification and colonialization of the country … [read more]

Appeal by the Anti-imperialist Camp to the anti-war and anti-globalisation movementMid January the different forces of the international anti-war and anti-globalisation movement will meet in Mumbai, India. But this time the World Social Forum (WSF) does not go unchallenged. In parallel there will take place Mumbai Resistance 2004 (MR2004), a gathering called for mainly by Indian revolutionary and anti-imperialist forces.Why those forces felt constrained to organise their separate meeting? The leaders of the WSF are quick to pronounce a generic accusation of sectarianism while in India itself they even physically attacked MR2004. However, there are more then serious reasons for a separate anti-imperialist pole:The WSF remains under the leadership of the so-called French-Brazilian axis of … [read more]

ICP (cadre) contribution to the Iraqi resistance demo in Vienna, Jan 17, 2004The Situation in IraqComrades! Friends!When Baghdad fell, we wept with grieving hearts. We Iraqis are always grieving; we have grieved since remote antiquity. But our grief is the grief of lions. And the lion does not change its nature, whatever injury and affliction he has suffered. Perhaps it is for this reason that God has chosen to test us with the enormity of the Anglo-Zionist occupation of Baghdad. Baghdad was occupide and we wept. We shed tears. But our grief has come to an end or has been set aside as the lions of Shan…‘ar are springing to attack in an offensive that will be remembered for generations. This attack will one day allow the world to breathe a sigh of relief, when the enemy has been … [read more]

Of nationalism and egalitarianismWestern corporate media unanimously commented the electoral victory of Vojislav Seselj´s "Radical Party" (SRS) as a new nationalist upsurge and an imminent danger for the "emerging Serbian democracy". Already in the wake of the elections the West demonstrated its unconditional partisanship by the threats of Javier Solana. The former NATO secretary-general and today the European Union´s responsible for security matters and foreign affairs published an article in "Politika", Belgrade´s well-known daily, arguing that whoever casts his vote for the parties of the "war criminals" would push the county back into the isolation experienced in the 90s.The "democratic threats" did not have any impact. The Serbs cast their ballots for the "enemies of democracy" … [read more]

Our country is passing through a critical phase. The communal fascism is on the rise The growing tide of communalism is being very much supported by the rulers of the country. In fact, it is being abetted by them. Not only this, they are also openly allying with US led imperialist and Zionist forces internationally which have declared war against the people of the world.The people of the whole world are reeling under the onslaught of globalisation which is destroying the livelihoods of the people not only in the poor and backward countries but also in the advanced ones and whatever that is indigenous, national, patriotic is being destroyed. It is a dreadful aggression on the diversity of the cultures in which the people of the world live.The Muslim states of the world are being made the … [read more]

There is a decisive historic step in front of us: the proclamation of the Resistance Front. If the front is able to develop into a counter-government, an alternative power, this would mean a shaking blow to the attempts of the US not only to control Iraq but to erect a global empire.For the time being the "Iraqi Patriotic Alliance" (IPA) has been putting forward following agenda: a) Unity of all forces who want to drive out the occupants. b) No compromise what so ever with the occupants and their collaborators even if mediated by the UN. c) Build a democratic government.We are in full support of that programme. However, we believe that the Resistance Front should call for a Democratic Constituent Assembly (DCA) which has been the driving slogan of so many anti-imperialist revolutions … [read more]

940 Intellectuals, Activists, & Community/Organizational Leaders Worldwide Say NO to the "Geneva Accord"The Geneva Accord was signed Monday, December 1, 2003, amid great media andpolitical fanfare. The 50-page document lays out a plan for a presumed"peace agreement" between Israel and the Palestinian people. We, theundersigned, consider this initiative as inconsistent with the prerequisitesof a just and durable peace for the following reasons:1. It attempts to nullify the Palestinian right of return, both as acollective national right and as an individual right. By doing so, itstrengthens existing attempts to relocate and scatter Palestinian refugeesthroughout the world and gives credence to plans to abrogate internationallaw pertaining to the inalienable nature of the Right of Return. … [read more]

National Council of Arab Americans (NCAA) call for actionNCAA CALL TO ACTION - ALL OUT ON MARCH 20, 2004The National Council of Arab Americans (NCAA)* joins the call for mass mobilizations against the war on and foreign occupation of Iraq, to be held on Saturday, March 20, 2004. Being also only 10 days before the anniversary of the historic March 30, 1976, Land Day in Palestine, calling for liberty, right to return, and self-determination for the Palestinian people on that same Saturday is an imperative complementary political necessity, without which the end to colonial occupations cannot be fully realized.Marking only the latest assault on Iraq one year ago this coming March, the NCAA well recognizes that only through a systematic and organized grassroots effort that a halt to … [read more]

Proposals with regard to the World Social Forum in Mumbai, IndiaThe Anti-imperialist Camp has been supporting the idea of building an independent anti-imperialist pole in order to unify the anti-imperialist forces but to reach out at the same time for dialogue to the amorphous anti globalisation movement which – at least in the Western world – is the main opposition to imperialism though not a consequent one. By constituting ourselves on a common political line and common actions we will be able to enter into dialogue. The opportunist argument that we "should be inside" does not count. Only a subject independent from the World Social Forum we will be able to dialogue. The main question is which is the unifying point of the world anti-imperialist movement? We believe there is a clear … [read more]
