Egypt - September 26th, 2020
The masses are once again winning the streets by their thousands in the main cities, clashing with the police and openly confronting the murderous dictatorship
Out with Al Sisi!
The people want the fall of the regime!
By defeating that dictatorship, we will be able to overturn
the deals in support of Zionism and the fighting alongside the masses in Palestine, Lebanon and the entire region for its destruction will be the order of the day.
The masses have regained the streets of the main cities in Egypt, such as Alexandria, Cairo, Suez, Aswan and Mansoura. Dozens of thousands are fighting against the fascist dictatorship that governs that country, shouting "Out with Al Sisi!" "The people want the fall of the regime!"
It is a spontaneous uprising, powered by the conditions of misery in which the masses live. There was not a single leadership, neither the April 6 Movement nor the Muslim Brotherhood, that has called for such actions. Because what happened is the exploited have responded to a furious attack by Al Sisi and his cronies: with their construction companies they are demolishing their houses, mosques and other facilities, leaving the evicted people to live on the streets, because they want the land to build lavish developments and do highly profitable business. For this reason, the dictatorship declared the workers' houses as "illegally" built; then the bulldozers went to demolish them and those who had been living there were not given any compensation. The fight to bring down the dictatorship is the fight to defend their homes.
This is in addition to a third of the population living below the poverty line, wages are not even sufficient for survival even if you are lucky enough to have a job.
For this reason, as in October last year, they have marched again in their thousands and are already clashing with the murderous police. There have been at least 3 martyrs in this combat, killed by the forces of repression. There are thousands of prisoners as well, many of whom have received a death sentence. Al Sisi has populated his prisons with workers and popular fighters, and his Army is also responsible for the disappearance of activists.
But imperialism and the government still do not dare to send the Army, because they know that it is possible for it to split before this great mass action. So far they are only using the police as a containment force.
Even despite such a harsh repression, the workers and the poor people do not retreat from this enormous uprising, because they know that bread and housing is to be won by defeating the murderous dictatorship in the streets, and that now there is no going back. They have already drawn the conclusion that either Al Sisi falls or they are condemned to live in the street, without work, without bread, and even being jailed. The exploited have learned from their fighting of October last year that if it stops, only Al Sisi will be strengthened and the fighters are to be imprisoned. They know very well that promises of "democracy" like the ones made by the April 6 Movement and the Muslim Brotherhood to divert the 2011 revolution are only a detour that leads back to fascism.
Egyptian generals own 40% of the industry, are custodians and managers of the Suez Canal, and dispose of a huge state reserve budget. They are a handful of billionaire officers ruling over 100 million starving Egyptian exploited with an iron fist, whom on top of it are now evicted from their homes.
But not only that: as one of the main supports of Zionism, they are a key domination device of imperialism in the Maghreb and the Middle East; Al Sisi honors the pact signed in 1979 at Camp David (USA) by Egypt recognizing the State of Israel and continues providing cheap gas to this enclave. The military keeps Gaza surrounded, guarding the Rafah wall, being the guardian of the borders of the Zionist state. Al Sisi also has put his air force to bombard the Libyan masses and supports the CIA agent Haftar. At the same time, he has sent officers to support al-Assad in Syria. U.S. finances the Egyptian army with 1.3 billion dollars annually, it is the second army (behind Zionism) among recipients of military funds from the Pentagon for all the services rendered to imperialism.
Out with Al Sisi! Down with the dictatorship! The people want the fall of the regime!
The huge revolts that are running through every city, every neighborhood, every picket line, every roadblock, which face the police, must go up one more step. We must generalize a revolutionary strike until the dictatorship falls! To prepare and organize it, we must set up workers', poor peasants' and students' committees in every factory, university and establishment. To guarantee it self-defense committees must be set up to defend ourselves against the repressive forces. Police hunting dogs must be disarmed! For committees of common soldiers who disobey their officers! The revolt must rise into an insurrection, for which the generalized armament must be conquered.
Advancing in these revolutionary actions, we will overthrow that military dictatorship and its Camp David pact that support Zionism, so putting into question the imperialist offensive of the Arab bourgeoisies' deals to recognize the state of Israel. The struggle across the Middle East for the Zionist State destruction is at the order of the day.
In Egypt, a key battle is being fought in the confrontation between revolution and counterrevolution in the region. For this reason, with each march across Cairo or Alexandria the masses vibrate in Gaza, Idlib, Beirut and Baghdad. Therefore, throughout the Middle East, there is the same revolutionary combat!
