From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Organization: Antiimperialist Camp News Reply-To: "Antiimperialist Camp News" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 05:19:38 -0500 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anti-imp Camp: support all from of struggle Anti-imperialist Camp to support all forms of popular resistance against globalisation After the political earthquake created by the international mobilisation in Genoa and by the massive repression unleashed by the capitalist Berlusconi government (apparently being inspired by Pinochet�s methods) the need for a common discussion and reflexion on the perspectives of the anti-globalisation movement has been expressed. In the main assembly, which was enriched by the intensive participation of the international delegations, one thing has been made clear again and again: the only one responsible for violence is imperialism because it is forcing poverty, misery and starvation upon a growing majority of the world�s polulation� just look at the most appalling example, the barbarous and genocidal war and embargo against Iraq. Therefore the popular forces of the camp reaffirm commonly that all forms of resistance against global capitalism are legitimate both in the West and in the oppressed countries. A special session was dedicated to the defense of the political prisoners which suffer in the prisons of the regimes supporting the �New World Order�. The delegations from Turkey (part of NATO that pretends to be the policeman for human rights all around the world), from the the Basque country (part of the European Union which pretends to be the judge for human rights all around the world) and from Mexico (there the ongoing neo-liberal social massacre is called �democratisation�) explained their bitter but heroic experiences. Filipino migrants spoke on the importance of the struggle of migrants in the West and their contribution to develop an anti-imperialist movement in the imperialist fortresses themselves. The African delegations called upon the world wide movement to support the revolutionary forces on their continent who are fighting under very hard conditions because of the social devastation brought by imperialist domination. They stressed the need for African unity and to overcome both artificial state borders and religious and cultural conflicts instigated by the Western rulers and their neo-colonial puppets. The revolutionary women from Afghanistan sought to create awareness of the barbarity of the Taliban regime which is actually being backed by the US imperialism via Pakistan. Finally, utmost attention was dedicated to the new Intifada on which a report was given by the forces of the Palestinian left. A strong Arab and international solidarity movement was urged for to defend the elementary right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. More than ten minutes of applause showed the tremendous support of our international movement for the rebellion against the Zionist occupation which is considered as a signal to the poor masses of the entire region and the world to rise against imperialist domination.
