The Egypt working class stands up and returns for what belongs to them
To conquer bread and freedom:
Down with the bloody military dictatorship of Al Sisi and his mubarakist generals
under the command and finance of Pentagon!
FOR THE RETURN OF THE TAHRIR SQUARE!
NATIONAL STRIKE-COMMITTEE OF THE MADALLAH TEXTILES AND DOCK WORKERS OF SUEZ CANAL TO PREPARE AND ORGANIZE THE REVOLUTIONARY GENERAL STRIKE
SELF-DEFENSE PICKETS, COMMITTES OF WORKERS, SOLDIERS AND POOR PEASANTS!
DOWN WITH THE CASTE OF OFFICERS OF THE MURDEROUS ARMY!
Over 20.000 workers -men and women- of the company Misr Spinning and Weaving Company, and Kafr al-Dawwar, of the Egyptian textile industry are carrying on a strike since October 21.
Workers fight against the refusal on the part of Sisi to give them a bonus promised in July, bonus value Is 10% of the nominal salary. The two companies are located In the Nile Delta, the most industrialized region of the country with the most concentrated proletariat and core of the worker revolution in 2011 that overthrew Mubarak.
The government responds the huge struggle of Mahallah with threats of not paying the non-working days, applying the anti-protest law against the activists and dismissing the leaders while the fascist trade union bureaucracy of the Federation of Egyptian unions, linked to the government, put pressure on workers so that them to come back workplaces. The central demand of the strikers is a bonus promised by the executive retrospective to July 2015.
Despite the government and the company threaten with fire the activists, the strike continues proving that the working class doesn't surrender!
The true protagonists and owners of the revolution, the working class, with the worker women at the head come back to the scene. The heroic Egyptian working class with his heavy battalions of the textile Industry and dock sector, the true creators of the Tahrir Square haven't surrendered. They return to the battle; they stand up to retake the revolution in the Northern Africa and Middle East. Because the revolution in 2011 was for bread and the Egyptian masses don't have bread to eat!
The working class doesn't surrender! those who surrender were the "pseudo-democrats", the Movement April 6 who sold out the power to the murderous military junta of Al Sisi In 2013. they promised the working class and poor people from Egypt that by voting in the fake parliamentary under tutelage, without smashing the bloody dictatorship, without defeating the officers of the Mubarak army and imperialism it was possible to eat and resolve all the masses' need. It was a vile deception. It was a round-up to expropriate the revolution and give again the power to the Pharaoh…to THE IMPERIALISM.
The pseudo democrats were who sold out the combats and the revolutionary masses to their executioners.
But they were not alone in such a task. The reformist left centralized by the World Social Forum that spoke about "the democratic revolution", "the Arab Spring", that called to fight for "Constituent Assemblies" saying that by voting the mass needs would be resolved…they only were useful to disguise the bourgeois and generals like Al Sisi as "democratic". The coming "democracy” meant massacre and life sentences.
They made them appear as democratic and loyal to the people, to those murderous Mubarak's generals. A vile deceit that preserved and adorned the caste of mubarakist officers sustained by the imperialism; thus it gave time to the imperialism to launch a mortal counterrevolutionary coup with Al Sisi. |
WOMEN AND MEN TEXTILE WORKERS OF MAHALLAH IN EGYPT GAINED 10% INCREASE IN SALARY AFTER TWO WEEKS OF HARD STRUGGLE
It is a need to prepare the revolutionary counter-back of masses to smash the military dictatorship and open again the revolution
After 15 days of a hard fight on the part of the women and men of the biggest textile industry in Egypt- Misr Spinning and Weaving Company- and - women and men- of the company Kafr al-Dawwar that then got unified them as well as the dock workers of Suez, on November 3rd the government decided to concede the increase in salary the workers were demanding. This happened because this strike threatened with an opportunity to the working class to group their forces and become in counter-back position, after the threats on the part of the government with not-paying the days of strike, dismissing the leaders and activists and leading to the court to the leaders of the struggle.
Despite the increase obtained, we must not lower our guard.
The military dictatorship of Al Sisi gives today one demand to the workers of Nile Delta to get rid of workers breathing down his neck threatening with returning to the path of the revolution. The vital needs of the working class keep increasing. The dictatorship of Al Sisi will wait for workers to lower their guard so that he can launch a brutal repression on the working class. There are thousands of fighters detained in the dungeons of the regime and mubarakist jails, hundreds of them have been life condemned, and the murders of hundreds of workers and fighters are still free.
Let’s take profit of the step ahead on the apart of the worker women and men from Nile Delta to group the forces and prepare the counter-offensive to open again the revolution confronting and overthrowing the murderous military-men.
FOR THE RETURN OF TAHRIR SQUARE!
Down with the military dictatorship of Al Sisi and his mubarakist generals under the command and financed by the Pentagon! Congress of rank and file delegates, Committees of soldiers and poor peasants to prepare and organiza the revolutionary general strike!
Self-defense pickets, committees of workers, soldiers and poor peasants!
Workers control and expelling of the murderous mubarakist officers from the State-companies
Expropriation without payment and under workers control of all the banks and imperialist companies |
The military dictatorship killed and jailed the fighters of the revolution. It freed Mubarak who was in jail and smashed the hunger people. It has sentenced to death 105 youth and workers of the 2011 revolution. By fake judges, by massive sentences, there are more than 200 condemned in the dungeons of Al Sisi and his caste of murderous officers. There are thousands of prisoners for fighting In the Egyptian jails.
That's the way how they robbed the bread, liberty and the revolution from the poor Egyptian people!
But the starvation, massacres, unprecedented hardships of masses push them to enter again to the battle taking again the 2011 revolution.
Today the working class returns for what belongs to them.
For the return of the revolution! Down with the dictatorship! For be able to eat and gain an increase in salary and freedom, it must be destroyed the mubarakist caste of the Al Sisi army! Self-defense committees, Committees of soldiers and poor peasants!
Freedom for the leaders of the chased protesters!
Freedom for the more than 40.000 political and trade union prisoners!
Apparition alive of all the disappeared!
Judge and punishment for the murderous military-men!
Break with the imperialism! Non-recognition of the foreign debt and all the treaties that tie the nation to the imperialism!
Expropriate without payment and under workers' control of the banks and Imperialist companies!
Workers control of the State-companies by expelling from the State-companies the murderous officers of the army!
Now, with the uprising of the textile workers from Egypt, it is clear why the cruelty of Zionism against the Palestinian nation, why so much fury of Obama and his hitmen In Yemen and Syria, why so much counterrevolution and conspiracy like the Conferences of Geneva 2014 and the current In Vienna. The imperialism and his lackeys fear masses return to the battle in Egypt and the region as In 2011. Lebanon, Yemen, Afghanistan, Palestine, and now the upheaval in Egypt are sparks that can fire the field again!
For the return of Tahrir Square! Out Al Sisi and his pacts with the imperialism and Zionism! Down with the Rafah Wall! From Cairo to Jerusalem: a single enemy, a single combat! For the destruction of the fascist-Zionist State of Israel!
From the other side of the Mediterranean -stained with blood of the exploited- are the workers from Greece, Germany, and the whole Europe that support their class brothers in Maghreb and Middle East! |
