Demonstration in Paris Republic Square at 15 am against war, racism, xenophobia State
- Gathering at Rennes 15 pm Town Hall Square.
50 years ago, the colonial empires were collapsing at that time. Patrice Lumumba was assassinated in the Congo and hundreds of Algerian workers were to be drowned in the Seine, thrown by the French police prefect Maurice Papon, because they dare to demonstrate peacefully for the independence of Algeria.
50 years later, a new colonial order is reorganized:
Speeches colonialists on "African man" and on the positive aspects of colonization positive, the debate over national identity, anti-immigrant campaigns, xenophobic racist, Islamophobic and negrophobia, Swiss referendum on minarets double jeopardy, is preparing a war of civilization that does not say his name and take the immigrants and peoples of the south as scapegoats of financial globalization and the crisis.
The quagmire of the war in Afghanistan, expanding the war to Pakistan, the threats on Iran, or Irak, des guerres menées pour contrôler les ressources pétrolières et de gaz montrent que le spectre de la guerre est plus que jamais menaçant : la progression des dépenses militaires mondiales qui atteignent un nouveau record progressant de 49% par rapport à 2000.
En Palestine, la colonisation et l’occupation continuent en Cisjordanie et à Jérusalem et le blocus transforme Gaza en un prison a ciel ouvert, tandis que les Palestiniens citoyens israéliens sont de plus en plus en butte à la discrimination. Malgré des condamnations répétées pour crime de guerre, Israél poursuit cette politique brutale et dépossède et étouffe the Palestinian people ... unmolested by the authorities of France, the EU or U.S..
In Western Sahara, Chechnya, Kurdistan, Sri Lanka, Western Sahara ... people are fighting for the right to self-determination against colonialism and for the defense of their political, cultural and social.
In Latin America, the peoples and governments are fighting to defend their sovereignty and rights, the embargo against Cuba, in defense of indigenous peoples.
In Africa, Asia or Latin America, payment of the debt and its interest is used to strangle the states and peoples while the policy of the IMF, the World Bank and WTO organize against the austerity budgets and privatization of social common goods and services public. Millions of hectares of land is appropriated, colonized by large multinational companies. Taking advantage of the economic crisis and climate biopiracy installed by large groups exploiting biodiversity resources.
The consequences of colonialism are ever present:
In Africa, cell in the Elysee pilot networks Françafrique who impose their law for the benefit of companies such as Total, Bollore, EDF, Bouygues, Areva or Veolia. The French military bases in Djibouti, located in Central or support dictators in the region.
In the last French colony called "overseas territories", the inequality imposed by the colonial situation leads revolts as Martinique and Guadeloupe, where the LKP still requires the implementation of agreements reached General Strike of 2009. In Kanaky, the question of independence is raised for 2014 while the Comoros in accordance with international law require the return of Mayotte in their midst.
In France the crackdown against undocumented workers has a exploitable labor to thank you each year while anti-immigrant laws criminalize foreigners whether seeking asylum or are fleeing the misery of their country of origin. Income neighborhoods are subject to police action that takes more character occupancy flush-facies, multiply identity checks, curfew for young people.
However, through our joint actions, we reduce the power. He has already deleted article 4 of the colonial legislation of 23 February 2005. We have also set back by demanding and obtaining the abolition of the Ministry of Immigration. We must now end the xenophobia of state based on the concept of national identity and uses racism, Islamophobia or negrophobia.
Faced with this new colonial order, we call in the framework of the 6th Week "anticolonial" in a large demonstration against war, racism and colonialism.
All and All in the street on February 26 to 15 H to show our rejection of war, militarization and colonialism, to obtain the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, calling for a world of respect for human rights all, a world of peace!
