From Syria, pronouncement of the newspaper "The Truth of the Oppressed" on the 8th anniversary
of the Syrian revolution
Standing next to the new wave of uprisings for bread of the exploited from Middle East! Standing next to the Yellow Vests and the struggle of the workers in the imperialist countries!
Out with Al Assad! Out with all the invading troops! Down with all the pacts of the Sunni bourgeoisie that sells out our revolution! Down with the Geneva conference!
Eight years have passed since the beginning of our great revolution, which has been -from the beginning and to this day- a link in the same chain of revolutions throughout the Maghreb and the Middle East.
On this 8th anniversary, our revolution is resisting in the last trench, in Idlib, massacred every day by the genocidal aviation of the dog Bashar and the butcher Putin, with their missiles, bombs and even white phosphorus.
But also, on this 8th anniversary our revolution is not alone. Our exploited Iranian siblings have risen up against the ayatollahs and their murderous guard who massacred us. The workers and the Algerian people have revolted against Bouteflika and the starving regime, fighting even in Paris side by side with the Yellow Vests against the French imperialist pirates who have 5 military bases in our country and also loot our oil. The Palestinian people in Gaza marched against the PLO -which isolated their struggle, has supported Al Assad- and kept the Syrian and the Palestinian separated when it was the same combat, the same intifada, throughout the Middle East. That is to say, on this 8th anniversary, a new wave of uprisings is sweeping the entire region, where key allies are rising.
Mainly, on this 8th anniversary our siblings in Daraa have risen, as in 2011, shouting "The people want the fall of the regime!". While Al Assad comes for us in Idlib, they go after him in Daraa and his allies in his rear, under his guts.
That city had been besieged and massacred by Al Assad, and sold out from inside by the bourgeois generals of the FSA, who today have returned to the dog's army and they are controlling and running that city on their account. They fulfilled what had been defined in that counterrevolutionary pact called the Geneva conference, under imperialism’s command. Thus they imposed that regime where Al Assad stays in Damascus and crushes with his fascist boot, and the FSA sells out from within to become the domestic police of those cities and guarantee a common government and army. This is the "transition" they talk so much about!
But the mass demonstrations of Daraa on the streets, every day, rise up against it for the real demands of the revolution of 2011... For bread and freedom! For freedom to our prisoners and avenging our martyrs! For defeating Al Assad and his allies! For breaking down all the pacts that the bourgeois generals of the FSA have made with Al Assad! To finish with so much betrayal, to take back to the streets, open the fronts, unify the combats and march towards Damascus!
That is why on this 8th anniversary, from The Truth of the Oppressed we will not be with representatives of the FSA bourgeoisie abroad. They insist on making presentations to the UN to apply its resolution 2254... which is that very same "transition". They only want to negotiate their participation in the government of such "transition". They do not represent us!
We are together with our siblings from Daraa who rise up against this "transition", which neither gave us the bread or stopped of the massacre nor liberated our prisoners!
We stand with the Yellow Vests and the Algerian workers marching in Paris against the Fifth French Republic, which invades our nation! We state that our allies in the imperialist countries are the workers who confront their governments, who from their cave of UN bandits have supported Al Assad and Putin to massacre us for 8 years!
We stand fighting to break the siege, together with the Palestinian people in Gaza fighting against the Zionist occupier and the PLO pacts that isolated them and us!
We stand with the exploited Iranians facing the ayatollahs who massacred our siblings and not subordinated to Erdogan, who meets with them at the Geneva, Astana and Sochi conferences!
We stand with the workers and the Tunisian, Sudanese, Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese and all the region people who rise up again to conquer bread and freedom and to rise the war cry "the people want the fall of the regime"!
On this 8th anniversary we face the sieges and betrayals of the leaderships of the world working class that have besieged and isolated us, supported our executioners, supporting the massacres and all counterrevolutionary actions that we suffered during these eight years. There will be no forgetting or forgiveness!
In this 8th anniversary we roar:
The Syrian revolution is still alive!
Out with Al Assad! Out with all the invading troops!
Down with the Geneva conference!
Down with all the pacts of the Sunni bourgeoisie that sell out our revolution! They do not represent us!
For a national council of the Syrian revolution of delegates from all the refugee camps, exploited from the rebellious areas, militiamen who confront Al Assad and the masses who revolt against him!
From Tunisia to Gaza, from Iraq to Jordan, from Iran to Daraa and Idlib, from Beirut to Gaza, from Sudan to Algeria and Paris... One intifada!
Bread, jobs, socialism, freedom and nothing else!
