Protest manifestoOn the 1st of June, Condoleezza Rice, the State Secretary of the United States of America, will be coming to Madrid. It will be the first official visit by a high representative of Bush's administration, since the people of Spain denounced and demonstrated against the invasion and occupation of Iraq, as well as the inclusion of the Spanish army in the conflict.The decision by Zapatero´s government to withdraw all Spanish troops from Iraq was a direct consequence of the popular pressure and rejection towards imperialistic wars.Since then, the subordination of the Spanish Government to American imperialism has not diminished but has adopted a different approach. It immediately increased Spain´s involvement in Afganistan, under NATO`s command, intensifying military and … [read more]

Interview with Dr. Rabah MohannaMember of the Political Bureau, PFLPQuestion: What is your opinion on the government of national unity in Palestine?Dr. Mohana: Although PFLP was the third force in the elections, although with a big difference in votes to Fatah, we did not take part in the 11th Palestinian government because we saw the prisoners' document (1) which has been agreed upon by all political and social groups in Palestine as a minimum political compromise on the agenda. We thought what happened in Mecca has exceeded the limit which we had agreed upon in the prisoners' document. For example, in the prisoners' document we did not accept Oslo and subsequent agreements as the basis for the continuation of the political process. In Mecca they agreed on it, Hamas also agreed on it. … [read more]

Rapport om demonstrationen den 12 maj i GöteborgDen anti-imperialistiska fronten formerade sig i Göteborg lördagen den 12 maj. Över trettio organisationer slöt upp i aktionsenheten som agerat under namnet Nätverket NATO inte välkomna. Orsaken till demonstrationen var NATO:s dryga fyrtiotal fartyg som inbjudits av den svenska regeringen i samband med en à¥rlig militärövning.Uppemot 3000 demonstranter samlades vid Operan. Och mitt emot mötesplatsen là¥g NATO:s dinosaurieliknande skepp. Ironiskt nog i Frihamnen! Efter demonstrationen frà¥n Gustaf Adolfs torg agerade Jan Strömqvist och Ana Rubin konferenciärer vid ett mycket välorganiserat möte. Ingela Mà¥rtensson kritiserade Sveriges fördjupade samarbete med NATO. Även Hans Linde höll ett engagerat tal … [read more]

Judiciary admits "legal errors"On April 19, a Belgian judge quashed a court verdict against four people from Turkey. The verdict, handed down in February 2006, had seen three of them imprisoned for membership of the DHKP-C (Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front). Lawyers for those convicted have continued with appeals, citing various trial irregularities in the way the original court was conducted by Judge Freddy Troch. There was, amongst other things, criticism of the way the Turkish state was allowed to have a lawyer present at hearings, in addition to the efforts of the Belgian state prosecutor. This was seen as infringing Belgian sovereignty. Also, since those on trial openly admitted to being bitter opponents of the Turkish authorities, it meant that the trial was in part a … [read more]

Cairo conference: Anti-imperialists, Islamists and pan-Arab leftists gather in EgyptThe yearly Cairo conference was held at the Journalists' Syndicate in downtown Cairo March 29th until April 1st. The conference and parallel Egyptian Social Forum was, unlike many of the gatherings of the Western and especially European-dominated social forums, filled with a strong popular and explicit voice sounding support for the resistance in Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine. But, everything is not good tidings. As well as bearing witness to the support of the resistance the conference itself also bore forewarns of the growing splits in the Arab pro-resistance movements.The conferences in Cairo seem always to give clear forecasts on what are the forthcoming successes as well as problems, splits and … [read more]

Interview with Dr. Ali Fayyad, President of the Consultative Center for the Studies & Documentation known as Hezbollah's Think-Tank and member of the party's executiveQuestion: Regarding the situation in Lebanon seven month after the end of the war, do you feel that the UN troops are protecting the Lebanese population or do you consider them to be occupation troops? A.F.: I think that the US resolution 1701 can be approached from two different points of view. We can say that the United Nations are controlled by the USA and that the UNIFIL want to help Israel and consequently try to disarm Hezbollah. But at the same time you can also say that there are many paragraphs of this resolution that state as the main role of the UN troops in the South of Lebanon to help the Lebanese people and … [read more]
