Report from the Iraqi resistance mobilisation in Rome, Dec 13, 2003On Saturday, 13th December, 2003 the first larger manifestation in Europe in emphatic support for the Iraqi resistance against the US empire took place. Nearly one thousand people participated and even the main Italian bourgeois paper, "Corriere della Sera", which was at the forefront of the media campaign against the mobilisation, had to admit the success. They spoke of 800 participants. The manifestation took place amidst a tremendous McCarthyist witch hunt not seen since the 70s.

Call to boycott the Iraqi resistance demo in RomeSince the call for the demonstration in favour for the Iraqi resistance scheduled for December 13 has been launched, a transversal front from the Fascist movement to Rifundazione Comunista (PRC) passing by the two party regime has been trying to destroy it by all means.The PRC has been in the centre of the campaign against the resistance demonstration mainly launching the slander of "Fascist infiltration" into the demonstration. This accusation lacks any political substance as all the main Fascist organisations are supporting the Italian adventure in Iraq on the side of US imperialism. What political such an infiltration would make?They did not dare to give the real explanation for their aggressive anti-resistance stance as Itaky had seen a … [read more]

Swan song of the "historic left" – justifying "democratic" imperialism by an alleged "Islamo-Nazi-Communist block"During the Anti-imperialist Camp in Assisi, Italy, which took place in the first week of September 2003, some of the participants and guests launched a public appeal for a demonstration in support of the Iraqi resistance . The document affirmed not only the legitimacy of the resistance as stipulated by the UN charter, but also the chance offered by it to bring down the US attempt to erect an empire. The possibility of a new Vietnam is evoked: "The defeat of the Anglo-American occupiers would be a victory for everyone fighting for democracy and self-determination, for the freedom of the peoples refusing to submit under the imperialist yoke." The appeal ends not only to call … [read more]

by Wardah Hafidz, IndonesiaBeing triggered by the on-going evictions and confiscations of means of living belonging to the urban poor, the urban poor network held a mass protest in front of the governor`s office on 5th December. 800 protesters demanded the government to stop eviction/confiscation and to fulfil the rights of the urban poor.

Danish Committee for a Free Iraq supports Rome demo in favour of resistanceI am in the Committee for a Free Iraq, and we would like to endorse the demonstration on December 13 in Rome. I can tell you that in Stockholm on Saturday as well there will be a pro-occupation demonstration organised by the ICP, the KDP, the PUK, the SCIRI and the Dawa Party among others, that is the whole Quisling swamp being in the puppet council. It is extremely disgusting, and I got even surprised by the incredible infamity of the five slogans. They are: No to terrorism! Yes to democracy!, Terrorists, remove your dirty hands from the Iraqi people!, Saddam Hussein and his terrorist regime is a weapon of mass destruction!, Solidarity with the Iraqi people in its struggle for a democratic, federal and pluralistic … [read more]
