IAPSCC Calls for Organized Movement Against Imperialist Aggression on Libya
March 19, 2011
Manik Mukherjee, General Secretary, International Anti-imperilist and
People’s Solidarity Coordinating Committee (IAPSCC) has issued the
following statement on the imperialist attack on Libya :
Blatantly violating the sovereignty of the country the imperialist powers
led by USA, France and UK have launched attack on Libya with missiles and bombs
from the sea and from air, killing and injuring Libyan civilian population. USA
and its European allies used the United Nations as a rubber stamp to endorse
their aggressive intention and pushed UN Security Council to adopt a resolution
that amounts to a virtual declaration of war against the Libyan state and the
people. It authorized the imperialists not only to enforce a no-fly zone , but
sanctioned attacks on Libyan air defenses and strafing and bombing of ground
forces. No matter what one feels about Colonel Gaddafi, or how one views the
opposition forces opposing him, there can be no justification of this
imperialist attack, which must be roundly condemned. This attack and war will
devastate Libya and bring untold misery to the Libyan people, and at the same
time pose grave danger to global peace and security. Posing as great protectors
of democracy, the imperialist powers are talking of humanitarian intervention,
but their real purpose is to establish control over oil in the Middle East and
to install and prop up regimes that would follow their diktats. IAPSCC calls
upon all progressive people of the world to organize united movements against
the murderous acts of military intervention and war by the imperialist powers
and force them to withdraw. It is the Libyan people alone who have the
sovereign right to decide what regime they would have in their country.
