ATIK: WE CONDEMN THE MASSACRE OF THE FASCIST MILITARY JUNTA AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF EGYPT!

Posted by reed
[An important statement by the organization of migrants from Turkey in
 
Europe, issued 16 August 2013. -- Frontlines ed.]
The attacks against the masses who gathered on the squares in Egypt in
 
defiance of the military coup have turned into a massacre. Hundreds of
 
people who took to the squares against the fascist military coup are killed,
 
thousands are injured during the attack. And while these brutal attacks
 
continue with all its barbarism, state of emergency was declared in many
 
cities in Egypt.
As the deepening contradictions in Egypt are not being resolved, they have
 
put the country in a more complex situation. As is known, the people of
 
Egypt now more impoverishing and suffering from more repression have toppled
 
the Hosni Mubarak regime with the rebellion started two years ago. However
 
the spontaneous peoples uprising lacked revolutionary leadership and the
 
Egyptian army attempting to control the uprising, supervised the elections
 
and the Muhammed Mursi administration came to power. As it is its nature,
 
also this administration in its core continued the rule of the previous
 
administration. Upon this the masses have risen again.
Following this uprising the army was once more activated to prevent the
 
growing popular opposition to flow into a revolutionary stream. With this
 
aim, the coup on behalf of the Supreme Military Council was committed and
 
the leadership was seized. Muhammed Mursi was arrested on 3rd July. As a
 
result the narrow minded organization Muslim Brotherhood have lead the
 
masses within their influence spheres to demonstrations. The backward
 
segments in the government will use doctrines based on religion and
 
nationalism on the poor layers of the people for their own gain. In fact,
 
this is what the Muslim Brotherhood Movement (Muslim Brotherhood) is doing.
This coup in Egypt is not independent from the imperialists. In fact, the
 
coup by the Supreme Military Council was made with the directives of the US.
 
The current situation is clearly reflecting this. Following this the US
 
imperialist has not been able to conceal the support they have given the
 
coup in Egypt. Therefore the intervention was not even called a coup, and a
 
declaration that they will continue with the annual financial aid was
 
issued. Although the EU and US imperialists have condemned the juntas
 
attacks, massacring hundreds of people, this was merely to justify
 
themselves. Despite these condemnations the role they played in this
 
massacre cannot be camouflaged. On the contrary, they have played a
 
determining role in the coup and the massacre of the masses.
The Egyptian army committed a coup to protect the existing order, to
 
suppress the popular opposition and to restore its damaged position. The
 
opposing part of the population was brutally attacked and a savage massacre
 
was carried out. During these attacks hundreds were killed and thousands
 
were injured.
As ATIK we condemn this brutal massacre, extend our condolences to the
 
families of those deceased and wish those injured a speedy recovery. We call
 
upon the democratic public not to remain silent against this massacre and to
 
take a stand against this crime against humanity.
WE CONDEMN THE MASSACRE AGAINST THE PEOPLE IN EGYPT!
DOWN WITH THE FASCIST MILITARY COUP!
DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM AND REACTION OF ALL KINDS!
