“Tell the Americans
that we have suffered enough pain and trouble, destruction and sadness.”
~ A vagrant from Kabul.
Put yourself in the position
of those people who are under attack from cruise missiles at night!
Put yourself in
the position of those who have lost their loved ones in a matter of seconds due
to US bombardments!
Put yourself in
the position of that mother whose child has been torn to pieces!
Put yourself in
the position of that girl whose semi-destroyed home is now completely
destroyed!
Put yourself in
the position of that vagrant woman behind the border crossing with the warm
body of her child gradually turning cold!
Put yourself in
the position of a woman that for years had a cobra named Taliban put over her
head and today is faced with the horror of death!
These are the
real results of this horrific aggressive war, waged by the US, Britain and
their other allies, and inflicted on the people of Afghanistan. The biggest
terrorist of the world, together with other small and large terrorists, with
their powerful military apparatus has cowardly attacked a small and weak
country. They have used high tech weapons against a very poor country to turn
the most destroyed country of the world into a complete ruin. This is the logic
of this reactionary and unjust war!
The real
gangsters appear on television and beat out the rhythm of war.
These
professional criminals want to scare the people of the whole world with their
threats to carry out their most hated actions. The most arrogant gangster power
of the world wants to hide its vulnerability and stop further challenges to its
rule over the world by massacring the people of a small country.
All of these are
carried out in the name of “implementing justice”, “the liberation of the
people of Afghanistan” and “the liberation of the women of Afghanistan” – all
are sheer lies.
The
implementation of any justice by the operators of this horrific system, which
is the cause and source of all the injustices in the world, could not even be
imagined.
The biggest
patriarchal state in the world, which has repeatedly supported the most
anti-women regimes, such as the Islamic Republic of Iran and the regime of the
Taliban, has never had any sympathy with women in Afghanistan and never will.
Those who
nurtured the reactionary forces, such as the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden, to
safeguard their own economic and political interests and to pave the way for
these forces to take power, did not have any sympathy with the people of
Afghanistan and never will.
Today, it is
still the people of Afghanistan who must pay the price for changing the old
servants for the new. The new have the same nature and character as the old and
will have nothing better to offer the women and men of Afghanistan.
We must unite to
fight against this aggressive war before thousands and thousands of innocent
people are turned into dust in the flames of this war of aggression and before
the ruins of Kabul, Ghanhar, Mazar-e-Sharif, etc. fall on the heads of the
hungry children. We must stand in front of this imperialist bullying. All over
the world we must organise the peoples’ resistance against this war. We must
set up a powerful movement, the seeds for which were laid all over the world
the day after 11th September, and only by the further development of
this movement can it challenge these war mongering imperialists and smash their
arrogance.
The women’s
movement has always been an important part of anti-war movements and has time
and again stood on the front lines. Iranian and Afghanistani women can and must
play a special role in this movement because they have suffered a lot and have
on many occasions become the victims of the unities and rifts between the
“modern and civilised” enemies and medieval enemies [within Iran and
Afghanistan].
Freedom loving
men and women! This is a horrific crime against the people of Afghanistan and a
historical disgrace. It is the duty of all freedom loving people to fight
against the war.
Organise against
this imperialist aggression all over the world by any means possible.
Join the anti-war movements in defence of the oppressed people of Afghanistan, and join in vast numbers to these struggles because no border can separate the oppressed peoples of the world on the path to their emancipation.
