Press release of the Workers International League - Zimbabwe

GIGANTIC ELECTORAL RIGGING ORGANIZED
BY ZANU-PF AND THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP

MDC BURGEOIS OPPOSITION TOOK THE WORKING CLASS OUT OF THE STREETS. IT CREATED THE ILLUSION THAT THE DICTATORSHIP COULD BE DEFEATED THROUGH THIS RIGGED ELECTION AND THUS IT ENDED LEGITIMISING THE FRAUD. THE CONDITIONS FOR BOICOTTING THE ELECTION WERE RIPE,  MORE THAN RIPE AFTER THE GENERALIZED STRUGGLE BY THE WORKERS AND THE APRIL GENERAL STRIKE. Enough is Enough!!!! DOWN WITH THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP AND ITS CORRUPT ELECTORAL COMMISSION (ZEC), THE IMF AND THE TRANSNATIONALS!!! THEY ARE THE FRAUD!!! Enough of hunger, unemployment and slavery for Zimbabwe's workers and poor people!!! FOR A NATIONAL CONGRESS OFRECE THE ZCTU FEATURING RANK AND FILE DELEGATES FROM ALL WORKERS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, TOWNS AND CITIES!!! WE MUST ORGANIZE RIGHT NOW SELF-DEFENSE COMMITTEES AND WORKERS MILITIAS FROM THE TRADE UNION CENTRALS AND ALL THE WORKERS' ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE FIGHTING. THE RANK AND FILE SOLDIERS, DON'T KILL THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THAT ARE FIGHTING TODAY IN THE STREETS. FOR RANK AND FILE SOLDIERS' COMMITTEES!!! Let's stop the massacre that's just starting. For the dissolution of the police! We must break with the parties of the bosses! For a Revolutionary Provisional Government by the ZTUC and the rural poor! For a Zimbabwean Free and Sovereign National Assembly without corrupt justices, murderous police or coup generals; all of them  are agents to the transnationals,  the IMF and the capitalists. Only the working class breaking with the bosses and their parties will be able to guarantee the national independence and the most elemental democratic rights and freedom for all the people. FOR A REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL STRIKE TO DEFEAT THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP, THE ELECTORAL SCAM AND THE IMF THAT SUPPORTS THEM Bread, freedom and national independence are to be conquered with the working class as the leader at the head of the struggle of all the exploited and oppressed sectors in Zimbabwe. The fight against imperialism, the Anglo-American and the transnationals belongs to all the workers and poor peasants all over Southern Africa. FOR A WORKERS' AND SOCIALIST BANTU REPUBLIC!!!!
