Subject: Anti-imperialist Camp opened
Anti-imperialist Camp opened with a minute of silence for Carlo Giuliani
Yesterday, July 28th, the Anti-imperialist camp was inaugurated paying
tribute to our comrade Carlo assassinated by imperialism in the
mobilisation against the G8 summit in Genoa. About 150 people welcomed 30
delegations and more than 100 organisations support this meeting of the
anti-imperialist forces from all around the world are making it a counter
summit to G8.
For the first time in the eleven year�s of history of this meeting a strong
delegation from Africa (Nigeria, Congo, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Chad) is
present, the continent most devastated by capitalist globalisation. Special
greetings were transmitted to the Palestinian delegation granting the full
support to the new and heroic Intifada. Representatives from the struggle
from the most diverse countries from Turkey to Afghanistan, from the
Philippines to Mexico are scheduled to report on their experiences. Special
attention was given to the Colombian delegation representing the main
popular and guerrilla movements. The Anti-imperialist Camp is conscious of
the fact that the Colombian people will fight one of the most important
battles against imperialism in the near future.
Addressing himself to the audience (translated into five languages) the
spokesman of the political committee of the Anti-imperialist Camp said that
the strong participation and support of popular anti-imperialist forces has
to be understood as an important signal to the movement against
globalisation. After the events of Genoa neither the imperialists nor the
movement can go on as before. We are in front of a turning point. The battle
of Genoa is a further example that the control of �civil society� over
globalisation is impossible. If the interests of the ruling imperialists are
threatened they resort to violence not only against the Iraqi or Yugoslav
people but they are ready to unleash repression also in the so-called
democratic West. Therefore those who do not want to speak of capitalism and
imperialism should also refrain from speaking about globalisation. We will
only be able to defeat globalisation if we unite with the anti-imperialist
forces from the oppressed and expl!
oited peoples, which is the purpose of the camp.
Eventually the hope was expressed that the camp will be a contribution to a
fraternal discussion and reflection forging stronger unity and facilitating
the construction of a new international headquarter of the revolutionary
struggle to liberate mankind from the yoke of capitalism and imperialism.
The inauguration was closed by a concert of a band of popular musicians
expressing emblematically the contributions to the liberation struggle of
the different nations being forced by globalisation to migrate to the West.
