SRI LANKA – Attacks are product of imperialist aggression - new epoch

From Maoist Road:

On Sunday 21, more than 250 people were killed by bomb-attacks in Sri Lanka. The international bourgeois media claims the „Muslims“ wanting to kill the Christians and put it on the same level with the massacre in Christchurch, New Zealand, to underline the „hatred“ against the „Christians“ and spreading chauvinism and racism. By that the imperialists try to hide their own massacres, Genozide and oppression against the peoples of Sri Lanka.

Attacks like the one now happened in Sri Lanka and the killing of the civilian people have to be clearly denounced, but not in a way the imperialists are doing it. The oppressed and exploited see, being against attacks like this means to struggle against imperialism, which produces them. In the so called „civil war“ in Sri Lanka the foreign Imperialists, especially with the help of their lackeys in India, used the bloody method of Genocide against the Tamil peoples, who struggled for their national liberation. Even „rebel groups“ were implemented by the imperialists and their servants to irritate the people in their struggle. So the imperialists supported the most reactionary ideologies to prevent a successful national liberation struggle, produced hatred between different peoples and religions to mislead the masses.

Now the imperialists use the attacks to spread once more racism and chauvinism, use it as another reason for militarization and intervention in the oppressed nations, strengthening their role as „world police“ like US-Imperialism does. The imperialists have no right to intervene in the oppressed countries, because it means breaking the right of self-determination of the nations.

On this occasion we want to link a statement of the Communist Party of India (maoist)from 2009, the end of the so called „civil war“. In this statement the vanguard of the Indian masses shows the role of imperialism in Sri Lanka, using Genocide against the national liberation movement of the Tamil peoples. The CPI(maoist) is a role model to unite and lead the oppressed nations and the masses in their struggle against imperialism, showing the real interests of the imperialists and their lackeys in the oppressed nations. The declaration helps the antiimperialists and revolutionaries to understand better the situation in Sri Lanka, in order to grasp an antiimperialist point of view and set on the struggle.

COMMUNIST PARTY OF INDIA (MAOIST)

CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Press Release: April 24, 2009

Condemn the genocide of the Tamil people by the Sinhala chauvinist, neo-Nazi fascist rulers of Sri Lanka! Let us unite to fight against UPA government’s support to Rajapakse’s genocidal war

on Tamil nation!!

The situation in the LTTE-controlled areas in northern Sri Lanka has become extremely delicate and dangerous with an average of almost 500 Tamils being butchered every week by the Sinhala chauvinist army since the past three months and the number increasing with every passing day. The virtual silence by the so-called International community is criminal to say the least, and its feeble calls for a pause in the fighting, a cruel joke. In fact, it is precisely based on the active support and military aid provided by the various imperialist powers as well as by the Indian government that the racist and fascist Rajapakse government had embarked upon the current all-out brutal assault on the Tamil areas in July 2006 by unilaterally breaching the 2002 cease-fire it had entered into with the LTTE.
