Syria - May 21, 2022

In the streets of Damascus, and with an uprising in northern Syria, the fight is for bread, to recover the houses, for the freedom of the prisoners and against the partition imposed from the Geneva conference

Out with al-Assad! Out with all the invader troops!

For a revolutionary worker and peasant government

In Damascus and Idlib, one single intifada with the Palestinian resistance and the revolutionary uprising in Iran!

Putin, one of the main supporters of al-Assad in Syria, has embarked in a war of occupation on Ukraine. This led him to dedicate more resources to this war, and for it, he has withdrawn troops and bases he had in Syria, then weakening his support of al-Assad.
Seeing this situation, the exploited marched in Idlib demanding the fronts to be opened. They know this is the moment to defeat al-Assad to recover their homes and end with so much hunger and misery. But above all, there has been demonstrations in downtown Damascus, under the very noses of fascism, demanding the freedom and alive appearance of the 500,000 detained by al-Assad in 11 years of revolution.
In northern Syria, the ones controlling manu military are HTS and Turkey with the National Army (former FSA). They are the strongholds of keeping the partition of Syria there (see box). Turkey started to dig trenches to mark his portion, and his agents set free an Assadist which had been captured by the resistance. This detonated the hatred of the poor people in northern Syria.
So, only in the last week, there have been demonstrations in different cities of that area. In Idlib, the refugees marched to recover their homes. In Tadef there was a demonstration against Turkey and its attempt of establishing partition there. In Al Bab, Azaz and Afrin there were successive days of struggle clashing against the authorities and the forces of the National Army for releasing the Assadist criminal. An uprising per city process has started in northern Syria, which tends to merge with Damascus.

On the other hand, the Palestinian masses resist the offensive launched by Zionismo, strengthened after the defeats of revolutions in the Middle East. This response of the Palestinian people is outside the control of the bourgeois leaderships of Al Fatah and Hamas, which keep on upholding their pacts with Zionism.
The workers and the Iranian people also take to the streets against the regime of the Ayatollah that increased bread and sky-rocketed the cost of living. From the huge strikes and protests they took place in Iran, now the revolutionary uprising has generalized to the entire country, to the war cry “Death to Kahamenei!”, “Death to Raisi!” They strike the heart of those murderers that massacred and occupy Syria. The Iranian revolutionary uprising confronts those who crushed the Iraqi workers when they took to the streets over the last years. It is an uprising brother of Syria and the Palestinian people, as the Ayatollah support Hezbollah as guardians of the Zionist borders.

In Maghreb and Middle East there’s resistance and the Iranian revolutionary uprising rises up, despite suffering hard defeats in Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, the Saudi invasion to Bahrain and Yemen, the genocide and partition of Syria, the betrayal of the CP to the Sudanese revolution. It is necessary to draw lessons of what happened in the revolutionary wave that started in 2011 to lead the future revolutionary uprisings to victory.

In the streets of Damascus and in northern Syria the fight is to conquer bread, to recover houses, for the freedom of the prisoners, to expel the regime and all the forces invading Syria. Out with al-Assad! Out with all the invader troops! Down with the Geneva conference!
We need to break with the Sunnite bourgeoisie that sold out all rebel cities, one by one, and under the command of Turkey they sat in Geneva with al-Assad to guarantee the partition. Let’s set up committees of workers, poor peasants, partisans to seek to return to the fight, as the coordination committees in 2011! Recover the weaponry and set up workers and peasants militias! We call the Kurdish workers to break with the PKK and the Kurdish bourgeoisie that subordinated them to al-Assad and the US, and to be part of this fight to take the revolution to victory.
Only the working class of the whole Syria can unify the nation once again, expropriating the oil companies, the banks and factories where the bourgeoisie fills its pockets at the expense of the over-exploitation and blood of the Syrian people, to recover bread, houses, defeating imperialism and all its agents. For a provisional revolutionary workers and peasants government!

This is one single struggle in the entire region. The fronts of this are opened in Iran, Palestine and Damascus. Uprisings in northern Syria against Turkey and HTS are underway. From Tehran to Idlib, from Damascus to Jerusalem, a single intifada!
