LET THE EGYPTIAN PEOPLE SING

vol. 2, no. 5

STATEMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNIST MOVEMENT

While listening to the Canadian-born woman singer, Mylène Farmer, one could be encouraged to fight; she says: it’s a nice day! (c’est une belle journée!). Is it not a beautiful day when we are fighting for justice? She goes further: marvelous, marvelous is life! (belle, la vie est belle…). Yes, life is beautiful, when peoples are rising to build it the way they want to live it.

Egypt: The peoples determine what is lawful and just

“The KKE (Greek Communist Party, Ed.) calls on the Greek people to express its solidarity with the sorely tried people of Egypt who are engaged in an uprising, and to denounce the deceitful role of the governments of the EU and the USA. These are the governments which until yesterday supported and cooperated with Mubarak, promoting him as a shining example of democracy. Now that the people have risen up, in defiance of intimidation, they pretend to be the defenders of its rights in order to shape the developments.

The governments of the USA and the EU have once again been exposed in the eyes of the peoples. They provocatively continue their interventions, because they are afraid that maybe the struggle and sacrifices of the people will lead to radical changes. They are ruthless.

The uprising of the Egyptian people, regardless of its outcome, has proven that the people are History’s true protagonists and that it is they who determine what is lawful and just. The peoples’ rebellions do not belong to the past, as the defenders of capitalism claim. The 21st century will be the century of the irreversible revolutions.”

Peoples of the Western capitalist world, including in North America, will be called upon to better understand peoples of Middle East and their cultures, be it the wonderful songs of the Lebanese-born Fairuz who unites them all in her powerful love songs: Habibi!

Lebanese CP, Solidarity with the People of Egypt

“Yet another time, the free people of Egypt have risen against the Evil Pharaoh and his entourage; and so they take to the streets and public squares, all under one banner: down with the regime and down with the president!
(Photo Internet: the wonderful lebanese singer Fairuz).

The Egyptian People, who have suffered the worst forms of oppression under the regimes of Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak for the last forty years, are now mature enough and able enough to move mountains if necessary in order to achieve their legitimate demands. This is particularly true since they have tried on several occasions during the last year through holding more that 200 strikes, demonstrations, and protests, to tell their deaf and un-caring rulers that the living conditions have become unbearable as a result of soaring unemployment, abject poverty, force redundancies, ridiculously low wages, extremely high prices and institutionalized corruption. However, as usual, the only response they received from the regime was additional terrorizing, more oppression and more arrests!

Our party calls upon the Lebanese people, and at the forefront of which its young men and women, to intensify their solidarity with the Egyptian uprising, exactly as their fathers and mothers expressed their solidarity with the June Revolution of 1952. For today, it is the Unity of the Arab people that can launch the new Arab era!”

For those who ignore it, the Arab people found one spokesperson from Italian-descent and Australian-born pop singer Tina Arena (she performed in the London production of Notre-Dame de Paris rock opera) and later on sang: My name is Bagdad; (“Je M’appelle Bagdad”) to denounce the US war on Iraq and the Arab culture. She performed this song in France and in Europe and sold CDs, including in Canada within the non-Arabic community.
