IRAQ YESTERDAY, TODAY AFGHANISTAN
OCCUPATION TROOPS OUT!
Peace is not merely the absence of violence but also the presence of justice and the welfare of the people.
These days, the seventh anniversary of the great popular demonstrations against the war in Iraq staged in our city, we turn to mobilize against the war in Afghanistan and calling for the withdrawal of English troops.
When the English population faces the harshest effects of economic crisis (with more than five million people unemployed, more than one million families without any social protection, loss of housing, effectively reducing wages; attack unprecedented pensions, expansion unjustified working life, with days of 12 or more hours and double time for working women; n generalization of precarious work, and privatization of services that depend on our basic rights such as education and health) we see how our increased government and Parliament to send troops to Afghanistan, continue to increase military spending (53 million euros a day devoted to military expenditure in Spain) and aligned with the imperialist policies of occupation engaged in wars that violate the sovereignty of other peoples. Yesterday, the Balkans, then Iraq (still occupied by the USA), yesterday and today Afghanistan attacked by troops NATO, in which Spain participates.
global crisis and war are terms that imply each other: they are caused by the same authors, the international capital needs to grow unlimited, and are sustained by the same people, the popular classes around the world who are condemned to insecurity and lack of future.
So at this point in history, no one doubts that the "War in Afghanistan" is an episode of the long battle that run the business and financial powers of the West, with the U.S. to head , to dominate the Middle East and appropriate their natural resources, especially energy.
In this macro-operation n, designed by the armaments and oil multinationals, and executed by the puppet governments in their service, is framed as the conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq and the invasion of 1991 and 2003, besides serving as a backdrop for understand the tensions with Iran and ending Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people. The race for strategic hegemony and control of resources (water, gas and oil in particular) in the Middle East makes all these battles in episodes of a purely cut colonialist war involving European governments of NATO member, and submissive accomplices of U.S. imperialism's strategy. Justifying these occupations
military and combat what they call terrorism, peacekeeping operations, Reconstrucció n, establishment of democracy, humanitarian relief, women's liberation, and so on., Are indecent propaganda that only seeks to justify military intervention and they seek regardless of peoples, the confrontation between two worlds that today almost no longer convinces. There are no "humanitarian war."
Most people in the English government continues to oppose the English military presence in Afghanistan. But despite this, the English government continues to increase participation in this war of occupation, by sending another 511 soldiers, bringing the English military presence beyond 1500 and effective.
The European countries' participation in the invasion, under the command of NATO, no improvement at all. This failure is serving to call into question once again, the utility of NATO and the intervention of so-called preventive wars, which are now in crisis because of popular resistance around the globe. The increase of foreign troops in Afghanistan (40,000 U.S. and 10,000 from its allies) will only increase instability in the country into a bloody magazine and postponing the task of improving the quality of life of its inhabitants.
occupation, as always, is only taking a clear result: death and more death, more destruction and ruin, both among the Afghan population as mercenary troops recruited many immigrants who are denied basic social rights and politicians in countries that send those troops. All this for the greater glory of governments and multinationals benefit of energy, international banking and the arms industry or the drug trade.
The best example is the situation of women. Their oppression under the Taliban regime was a major excuse for intervention, but nothing has improved. The social humiliation of women, typical of a severely patriarchal society, remains a scourge that the occupation forces have not changed at all. Karzai has even approved a law by which men can rape and starve their wives if they do not satisfy them sexually.
In the English case, the occupation of Afghanistan demands that the Government abandon the rhetoric of "peace missions" or "Reconstrucció n the country ', to renounce the policy of subservience to imperialism, multinational and, therefore, remove troops stationed there in his day did with Iraq.
Therefore, the Platform Against the War in Afghanistan invites all people to move, as it did in 2003, now against the war in Afghanistan, participating in demonstrations to be organized between 9 and 12 March (public events, round tables ...) and that culminate with a concentration in Madrid on Saturday March 13 at 19 am in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Plaza de la Provincia, 1, next to Plaza Mayor, Metro Sol).
NO TO WAR!
NATO NO!,
WITHDRAWAL OF SPANISH TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN!
