According to a November 4 Christian Science Monitor the new US-approved textbooks for Iraqi school children effectively eliminate the history of modern Iraq. According to the article the imperial edition of Iraqi history deletes "... any content considered "controversial," including the 1991 Gulf War; the Iran-Iraq war; and all references to Israelis, Americans, or Kurds." Another subject written out the textbooks is the sanctions on Iraq.US officials and members of the occupation`s Ministry of Education worked on the revisions in a series of meetings over the summer at UNESCO and UNICEF offices. "Entire swaths of 20th-century history have been deleted," says Bill Evers, a US Defense Department employee who worked on the new edition. Fuad Hussein an Iraqi expatriate working for the US in … [read more]

Three months have passed since emperor G. W. Bush declared the end of hostilities in Iraq. The rapid success of the US forces over the Iraqi army - due to the capitulation of the high command right at the crucial moment of the defence of Baghdad - made the Anglo-Americans believe to have achieved a total victory. Taking over Baghdad they made of the words of the information minister. Now it is our turn to expose their arrogance to ridicule.Not even finished, the war started again. Only a few days after the collapse of the Iraqi army guerrilla forces began attacking the mercenaries of the occupation forces. They keep inflicting them losses which are of high political and morale value. Among the US bionic soldiers fear is spreading. As Beirut and Mogadishu already have proved, high tech … [read more]

Nov 8, 2003: Demo againt the NATO "Tribunal"Our demonstrations held on June 28 at The Hague delivered our demands to the "tribunal" and to UN, under which formal auspices this institution acts. It is not only that our main demands have not been fulfilled, but also the human rights violation record of the "tribunal" became even worse. For that reason SLOBODA/Freedom Association endorses the call of the Serbian-International Organizational Committee to hold new DEMONSTRATIONat The Hague, on November 8, 2003"By the terror and tyranny they try to prevent, or at least minimize, the obvious fiasco of the false tribunal, which is serving as the weapon of war against our country and our people. Nothing new! As Montesquieu wrote in 1742: "There is no crueler tyranny than one perpetrated under the … [read more]

by National Democratic Front of South KoreaOn October 18 the south Korean authorities decided to additionally dispatch troops to Iraq despite of the strong opposition at home and abroad. This is a challenge to the entire nation opposing the US hegemonist arrogance and aspiring after global peace and stability.The National Democratic Front of South Korea pungently denounces the decision as a pro-US subordinate act and heinous anti-national crime to reduce young people to cannon fodders of Yankees in disregard of the dignity and interests of the nation. It is never justifiable with any excuse that the authorities have decided to dispatch troops again after sending troops in last April. The Iraqi war is an unjust burglarious war of aggression the United States provoked to overthrow the … [read more]

Interview with Ahmed Karim, leader of the Patriotic opposition of the Iraqi Communist PartyAnti-imperialist Camp: How do you evaluate the development of the resistance?Ahmed Karim: Frankly speaking, I did not expect such a rapid expansion of the resistance movement. Many set all their hopes on the Iraqi army and then were frustrated by the betrayal of the high command. On the level of popular organisation almost nothing could be prepared before the attack, though we asked the regime of Saddam Hussein to grant us elementary liberties in exchange for our support against the US aggression. Beside the fact that Saddam reacted only reluctantly it was too late anyway. Considering these circumstances, the development is more than we could have expected. The military resistance is firmly rooted … [read more]

by International Platform against IsolationThe second year since the international day of struggle against isolation was established - call for action The issue of imprisonment and prisons, in other words the issue of political prisoners, is an indispensible part of the struggle for all organisations and people who resist and fight, and will be as long as there is a struggle against injustice in the world. Quite apart from their overall policy of annihilation, the forces which want to prevent the struggle against exploitation and injustice seek to use the prisons to break people who resist them and who think differently. So torture and arbitrary behaviour have become an everyday practice. As the same time, this has become the crudest form of human rights abuse. These means of destroying … [read more]

Blagovesta Doncheva, Bulgaria, in support of the Anti-imperialist CampThe last 14 years in Bulgaria, Russia, Eastern Europe countries, the imperialist wars on Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, the situation in Latin America - and of the ordinary people in Europe and USA plus all the information I have gathered - have turned me to communism. (And I have been very much on the right!) I have lived in the two systems and I can compare them. So it has been logical to see through my own self-delusions and become a communist. Now I am proud to say I am a communist in my heart without being a member of any party. What will Grimaldi say to that? Will he demand of you to ban me from your demo because I used to be very much on the right and believed all the Israeli propaganda? Or because I declare I am … [read more]
