=== News Update ===
Their next massacre
The Green Zone government and its militias are attacking civilians
across Iraq to halt the resistance
The US and all occupying forces are legally and morally responsible for
protecting all Iraqi civilians
No level of atrocity can break the geopolitical unity and sovereignty of
Iraq
The human community must wake up. The sufferings of the Iraqi people are
tragic and criminal. Whole cities are under siege: Fallujah, Sammara,
Kirkuk, Haditha, Hit, Ramadi. Latifiyah, Tarmiyah, Baaquba, Moqdadiyah,
Buhruz, Madaen, Abualkhasib, Al-Zubeir, Fahamma, Tel Afar, Husaiba …
Entire suburbs of Baghdad are attacked by the militias and police of the
sectarian government: Adhamiyah, Al-Jihad, Ghazaliyah, Al-Amiriyah, Al-
Huriyah, Al-Suleikh, Al-Saidiyah, Haifa Street, Al-Baladiyat, Al-Durah,
Palestine Street …
The attacks aim to stop the spreading resistance to occupation. Now the
resistance is everywhere: in the north, middle and the south. It
encompasses all the Iraqi populations: Arabs, Shias, Sunnis, Turkomen,
seculars, Kurds, Assyrians and other Christians, and Sabbits and
Yaziids.
The occupation has no future in Iraq. Though defeated, the occupation
refuses to accept its defeat until it has tried all. It seems the US
administration thinks a civil war will save its reputation and plans.
US strategists try to forget that killing civilians is a political and
moral crime and banned under international law, whoever the doer and
whatever the cause. Qualifying civilian deaths as civil war does not
lift the responsibility of the local, regional or international forces
that are responsible before law for stopping it.
The genocidal killings, the collective punishments, and the crimes
against humanity committed over recent days in Baghdad by the sectarian
militias participating in the government, and with the participation of
the government’s police and the complicity of the occupation, must be
stopped.
The US, instead of accepting the evident reality that only the national
popular resistance — armed, political and civil — has the power and the
legitimacy to bring stability, democracy and peace to Iraq, is trying to
escape this reality by diverting eyes from the tragic situation to its
diplomatic moves with Syria and Iran.
The US cannot escape the reality of its responsibility in the
destruction of Iraq as a nation and state. It is the US that tried to
build, since the invasion, an artificial Iraqi state based not on
citizenship — the guiding attribute of all modern states, including Iraq
since 1925 — but a state based on ethnic and sectarian principles.
The US forgot that Iraq cannot be divided; that its Arabo-Muslim
identity is a cultural and geopolitical reality, and that a modern state
cannot be built but on the principle of citizenship free from all
discrimination. Its talk of civil war is hypocritical. It does
everything to ignite it.
The entire international community, and especially the neighbours of
Iraq, have a moral, political and economic interest in yielding Iraq to
Iraqis, in defending its unity and integrity, and helping Iraq rid
itself of the occupation and realise the sovereignty of its land,
resources and destiny.
Urgent action!
We call on all institutions, governmental and non-governmental, the
world over to oppose the escalating terror confronting the Iraqi
people.
Trade unions, educational institutions, parliaments, rights groups and
ordinary people can raise their voices to stop the gathering tragedy as
the occupation and its local clients wager the life of Iraqis for their
political skins.
Only the end of occupation can end these atrocities. End it now!
