From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Antiimperialist Camp News Reply-To: "Antiimperialist Camp News" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2001 15:33:41 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anti-imperialist Camp Assisi as counter summit to Imperialism's G8 in Genoa Anti-imperialist Camp Assisi as counter summit to Imperialism's G8 in Genoa Only one week after the mass mobilisation of Genoa the Anti-imperialist Camp will open its doors in Assisi, Italy, scheduled from July 28 to August 5. It will dedicate its works to developing political perspectives for the anti-globalisation movement which is actually facing a decisive turning point. The massive repression which led to the death of one of our comrades and injured hundreds is meant to be a signal to the movement � either to take the hand stretched out to us to become the �civic control� over globalisation turning us into a democratic fig leaf of capitalism or to stand tough and to confront the force behind globalisation, imperialism. This is the way the camp strives to go urging for the unification with the forces of the exploited and oppressed countries already engaged in a life and death battle against globalisation. Our aim is to create a global anti-imperialist pole being the consequent continuation and only possible fulfilment of the anti-globalisation mov! ement: Africa This continent devastated by capitalism will be present with a wide range of different representatives of the liberation struggle: Lumumbist groups from Zaire-Kongo whose country is torn apart by Western intervention, from Nigeria (Dr. Bashir Kurfi, an anti-imperialist intellectual), the People�s Democratic League from Sierra Leone, Senegal, Chad, Guinea, ... Middle East A central issue will be the Palestinian struggle for self-determination after the collapse of the Oslo agreement. The �Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine� (PFLP) will address the gathering explaining their view on the prospects of the new Intifada in the context of the deepening crisis of US hegemony in the Middle East. A meeting of the world wide solidarity movement for Palestine has been convened for the camp with the aim to form an international coalition. See the draft call: www.antiimperialista.com/en/view.shtml?category=9&id=992179484&keyword=+ Representatives of different protagonists engaged in the death fast struggle of the political prisoners of the NATO state Turkey will report. Asia and Indian sub-continent The revolutionary women from Afghanistan will explain their struggle against the Pakistan backed Taliban, while the Communist Workers Peasant Party will sketch the historic crisis of the Western backed Pakistani bourgeoisie both with the internal social massacre and the US advances made to India. The Nepalese popular guerrilla though being refused visa is endorsing the anti-imperialist camp. The Filipino comrades of Migrante will examine the question how the antagonist potential of the social interest of the migrants in the West can be unfettered. Latin America Not only the representatives of the main popular and guerrilla forces of Colombia but also the leading revolutionary anti-capitalist party of Ecuador, PCMLE, will testify for the fact that the struggle for popular power is possible. The Mexican comrades will try to prove that exactly in the country where Neo-zapatism was born boosting the idea of �civil society� all around the world the withdrawal from the struggle for state power led to an impasse. The comrades from Venezuela will report an the contradictory phenomenon of Chavez�s populist anti-imperialism.
