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
exploited 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.
