Closing Statement
The World is in a crisis…It is the crisis of the global counter-revolution manifested by the US neo-fascism that has swept the world in the name of the American “values” and for spreading the fake American “democracy”; it is the war that is characterized by paranoia, the worship of “force”, enslaving people and the take-over of their resources. A war waged by the US Empire that has dug its grave in Iraq which turned into a swamp where the Imperialist authority has deteriorated and where the Arab people have risen in defense of their rights and existence.
It is the counter-revolution that aims at making the Zionist entity a regional axis of hegemony and the deletion of the Arab history, identity and future. Thus it has moved to eliminate the resistance in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Iraq.
The United States is trying to impose the Imperialist/Zionist project on our Arab Region and all the countries in the region the US call “Broader Middle East”.
Egypt is targeted by fragmenting Sudan and transforming it into cantons sponsored by the Empire. In this context, we think Egypt should re-capture its leading role towards the unification of the Arab Nation.
The uprising people in Arab Palestine are imposing their existence and respect on the world and on the Zionist entity with the strength of armed resistance, thus the Zionist entity has failed in encircling and subjugating Arab Palestinians to its liquidation projects. These heroic people in Palestine meet today with the revolution of the Iraqi people that has strategically defeated the US strategic plan in the region and looking ahead towards securing the frank victory and the total defeat of the Imperialist enemy.
We in the Resistant Arab People’s Alliance Conference convened in Cairo from 27-29 March 2006, stress on articles mentioned in the call/invitation of this conference as a strategic basis for the Resistant Arab People’s Alliance (see appendix), and call upon the people of the world to gather under the banner of the Internationalist Support for the Arab Resistance, to confront the Imperialist aggression.
We in the Resistant Arab People’s Alliance Conference, as we take the side of our people in Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Sudan and Egypt, we also take the side of all the people in the world, and take the side of the all revolutionary movements that are confronting the US Empire’s aggression, from South America to South East Asia, passing through Europe, and reaching the American people who suffer from exploitation, racism and tyranny.
Iraq: We stand with the right of our people in Iraq to resist the occupation by all means and on top of these means: armed resistance. We refuse all the secretions of the occupation and their collaborators, and we consider the resistance the legitimate representative of the people in Iraq, and we stand with it in the same trench, and we refuse all the attempts aiming at mutilating the image of the resistance, and we condemn the ordered, intentional assassinations of Iraq’s scientific and academic expertise by the occupation and the collaborators.
Palestine: We consider the Arab struggle in Palestine a struggle of existence and not a struggle of borders, thus we refuse all “settlement” solutions, and we stand with our people in Palestine in one trench for the liberation of the entire Palestinian soil, and we stress on the right of all Palestinians to return to their homes and land.
Syria and Lebanon: We refuse the US-French mandate on Lebanon and Syria, and the interference in their internal affairs, and the attempts to cancel the right of the people in Syria and Lebanon to resist, and we condemn the collaborators in supporting this mandate.
Sudan: We stand with our people in Sudan in the face of the US fragmentation project and we condemn all who are collaborating with it, and we refuse any presence of UN forces in Sudan.
We stress on the struggle for the liberation of all prisoners and detainees in the prisons of the US and Zionist occupations.
We stress on the need to work for the establishment of public liberties in the Arab Homeland and to struggle for the release of all political prisoners.
We stress on the necessity of spreading the “culture of resistance”, and building alliances with the movements that are resisting the Imperialist/Zionist project in the world.

Work Program of the Resistant Arab People’s Alliance for the coming year
First: The Arab individuals and groups outside the Arab Homeland, and the international groups that are part of the alliance, will prepare different campaigns and activities to push the global anti-war movement towards adopting more principled positions towards its transformation into a “pro-resistance” movement.
Second: Organizing an Arab/South American conference or gathering to establish militant connections between the Arab popular movement and its South American counterpart.
Third: Printing a magazine as an organ of the alliance, the first issue will be the proceedings and some papers of the first founding conference.
Fourth: Establishing a website for the Alliance for publishing articles, analyses and activities of the different groups, concentrating especially on the “basics” of the Arab/Imperialist-Zionist struggle, in both Arabic and English.
Fifth: Establishing a separate website called: “Resistance News Agency” focused on the informational aspect and relaying resistance news in all regions objectively and with high credibility, both in Arabic and English.
Sixth: Declaring the 15 of May (the annual memory of Al-Nakba; the occupation of Palestine in 1948 by the Zionists and declaring the Zionist entity) a joint day of action under the slogan: “Supporting Resistance Everywhere, and By All Means”. We also stress on supporting all international activities against the aggression and occupation in their declared dates.
Seventh: Designing a logo that represents standing in the trench of resistance by all means so as to make it a symbol for all resistant forces and distributed to all countries so that it can be printed and produced as posters, badges…etc.
Eighth: Formulating a small statement against the Zionist project in Palestine and work on the popular level to gather as much signatures as possible on this document which will be released in the second conference.
Ninth: We call upon the European and International groups to invite representatives of the Resistant, principled views to talk in different conferences in Europe and internationally, and to represent this analysis themselves.
Duties for all groups individually:
-Opening discussions locally and internationally with all organizations to spread the strategic basis of the alliance
– Contacting all organizations that agree on the strategic basis of the alliance to invite them for active participation and broadening the alliance on that basis.
– Spreading CDs, articles, pamphlets, pictures, documentaries, documents, organizing festivals and activities all related to the resistance.
– We call on the Palestinian and Iraqi groups specifically to establish a record for the name of martyrs and injured along with their life stories as a prelude to establishing a data bank on this issue, and to re-introduce the victims as human beings rather than numbers.
