by IAC, John Catalinotto11-03-2005The International Action Center in the USA would like to send a greeting of solidarity to the organizers of the International Iraq Conference – Occupation, Resistance, International Solidarity set for March 12, 2005, in Berlin. This perfectly legitimate conference has come under attack from a narrow array of pro-government forces in Germany that are attempting to vilify and attack the right of the Iraqi people to defend their country from an illegal war and illegitimate occupation.The United States government waged an aggressive war against Iraq, telling lie after lie and changing the story regularly in an attempt to justify the bombing and invasion and occupation of that sovereign. This is the crime. Without this occupation there would be no need for … [read more]

Call for a solidarity delegation to PalestineIn September 2000, the second Intifada, a new uprising of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation, broke out. Its immediate cause had been a provocation by today´s Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. However, it was the Palestinian´s people anger over the undelivered promises of the Oslo peace treaty that exploded in this uprising. Since then, the situation in Palestine has been aggravating. Thousands have been killed, tens of thousands injured. Daily life means permanent curfews, closures and state of emergency, destruction of houses, schools and hospitals, land and plantations. On the other hand, the Palestinians´ ongoing resistance increasingly puts pressure on the Israeli government. In Europe, however, public opinion has … [read more]

av Lars Akerhaug, internasjonalt ansvarlig i Rød Valgallianse, NorgeOpprinnelig publisert i Røde FaneAceh var selve senteret for jordskjelvet som utløste tsunamien. Bølgene tok familier, hus og hele landsbyer. Men tv-kameraene og medias oppmerksomhet rettet seg mot de populà¦re turistomrà¥dene og den velkjente konflikten mellom Sri Lanka og den tamilske frigjøringsbevegelsen. Først etter noen dager nà¥dde nyhetene fram, folk tok innover seg hvilken katastrofe som hadde rammet Aceh-provinsen, nordvest pॠSumatra. For mange var det første gang de hørte om den historiske konflikten med røtter tilbake til antikoloniseringskampen mot den hollandske ekspansjonen inn i dagens Indonesia. Og nesten like raskt som rapportene om hvordan tsunamien hadde slà¥tt til mot … [read more]
