Five years have passed since the assassination of Comrade Abu Al Baraa by al-Assad's troops. We do not forget and do not forgive the murder of our comrade.
We are with his family and his children from South Africa.  What is happening in Swaziland, South Africa and Zimbabwe is that the workers and the poor people are fighting against the capitalists, the transnational companies that steal all the wealth of the nations of the region, and also against the black bourgeoisies. We fight against hunger, for bread, for better living conditions, for decent wages. That is why, since last July both in Swaziland and in South Africa, the poor people and the workers have won the streets, starring in days of enormous fighting with strikes, blockades, looting of supermarkets, facing terrible repression.
Today we pay tribute to our comrade Abu al Baraa and the martyrs of the Syrian revolution as we also do every August 16 on the anniversary of the massacre of the 34 miners of Marikana. They also fought for bread and a decent life and were assassinated by Anglo American and its hitmen from the South African ANC police, its lackey government and the Stalinist trade union bureaucracy. This combat is a twin to the combat of the Syrian masses and their revolution. We have the same enemy, imperialism, its regimes, and the lackey governments. That is why it is the same struggle!
Yesterday in Marikana and today for the Syrian revolution we pay tribute to our martyrs!

We are together in their fight until victory. We will not back down from this fight.
