Genocide in Al-Fallujah

The US occupation forces and the Iraqi forces launched fierce attacks on the Iraqi city of Al-Fallujah using tanks, armoured vehicles, heavy and light artillery and aircraft, that is using all means of destruction to besiege citizens and mercilessly kill the armed and unarmed civilians. In other words, they embarked on massive genocide and war crimes involving killing both the sick and doctors, destroying hospitals, killing helpless wounded people, destroying houses and storming places of worship. Thus the US forces are violating all international laws on conditions in countries under occupation and human rights conventions.
Meanwhile, the US leadership is claiming that all these operations are against the resistance and are for the liberation of Iraq. However, the truth is that there would have been no resistance had there been no occupation. The resistance is closely associated with occupation. On out part, we reject the violence against the Iraqi people and foreign civilians in the name of resistance. We reject the violence that claims the lives of hundreds of civilians on the streets, in markets and at schools. We reject the violence that cuts the necks of the innocent and trades in hostages. We reject the violence against Shiites, Sunnis or churches, as a matter which triggers sectarian rifts.
All these sectarian acts and similar ones involving the destruction of the Iraqi people's infrastructure and vital utilities only serve the occupation and its interests. It also discredits the real resistance in the eyes of the world and radically produces a negative impact on the people's solidarity with the people of Iraq. In fact, these acts and the occupation forces are only two faces of the same coin.
We strongly support the real resistance of the occupation and its interests. We are against all the disturbances and instability affecting the lives of the Iraqi people but we support what creates disturbance and instability among the occupation forces.
The resistance should eventually serve a political orientation and lead to the termination of the occupation and the restoration of the Iraqi people's will in political matters and everyday affairs after Saddam Hussein had dealt them deadly blows and the invasion forces came to complete the task.
The occupation forces have started operations in Al-Ramady and elsewhere, which means that they are determined to carry out genocide operations against the Iraqi people.
As the Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization condemns all these atrocious crimes, it demands a real intervention by the United Nations and giving it the upper hand in realizing Iraq's freedom, democracy and independent development. AAPSO also calls for the implementation of Resolution 1546 which provides for a pivotal UN role in Iraq and a termination of the so-called "transitional period" by free elections, a Legislative Council and a government elected by the people not later than December 2005 and provided that the pull out of the occupation troops starts at that date.
However, our experience with the violation of international legitimacy by the US and its allies sound an alarm warning against what they do with the UN resolution on Iraq.
Putting into operation the UN role and giving it the upper hand in Iraq will definitely play a role in the realization of the Iraqi people's independence, reconstruction and domestic democracy.

Invitation
Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization (AAPSO)

Dear Friends,
As you are aware that in 2005, it will be the 50th anniversary of "Bandung Conference" which was held in the city of Bandung in 1955. This conference marked a watershed in forging the Afro-Asian Solidarity, as it was the first of its kind to bring the leaders of emerging Afro-Asian countries to meet together and charter a course of action for their future.
The initiative of organizing this historical event was taken by the five countries - Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, Pakistan, Burma and Indonesia who met in Colombo known as the Colombo powers. Bandung gave birth to the Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity Organization and the Non-Aligned movement.
Stalwarts like Javharlal Nehru of India, Chou En Lai of Peoples China, Sokarno of Indonesia, Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt and Kwae Nkrumah of Ghana were present at this conference.
We consider that Bandung spirit still pervades in world politics and in international relations. Therefore it is appropriate that we commemorate this great event in a fitting manner. AAPSO has therefore decided to organize an international conference in Cairo under the theme.: "Vision of Bandung after 50 Years- Facing New Challenges".
On 1st -2nd March 2005 in Cairo, Egypt.
Sub-themes:
1) Historic significances of Bandung
2) End of bi-polar world
3) Unilateralism and its effects
* Iraq
* Palestine
* Sudan
4) Environment in Jeopardy
* Kyoto and Global Warming
5) Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
* NPT
* CTBT
6) Building strong solidarity movement worldwide. (Strengthening of AAPSO)
7) Revitalization of NAM
8) The expected role of the UNO
We hereby request you kindly to participate at this conference. Request kindly to send a paper on any of the above subjects at the earliest convenience.
The travel expenses have to be borne by the participants. The venue of the conference will be notified later. Kindly confirm as early as possible.
Sincerely
Dr.Morad Ghaleb Nouri Abdul Razzak

29 November
International Day for Solidarity
with the Palestinian People

Today is the 29th November, International Day for Solidarity with the Palestinian People for independence as endorsed by the United Nations. It is the day when the partition of Palestine into an Arab and a Hebrew state was decided in 1947, with special status for the city of Jerusalem as stipulated by resolution 181. This day comes at a time in 2004 after 57 years in which the existence of the Hebrew state is consolidated and supported by all colonialist powers, British, American and world Zionist forces whereas the state of Palestine has not yet been established. On the contrary, the tragedy escalates to the extent that the declaration of this State is not based on UN resolution 181 but according to Israel’s agreement in that it imposes impossible preconditions in this regard, namely conditions related to security and presence of President Yasser Arafat.
Although the non existence of Israel’s false allegations related to the late President Arafat or death squads that were disbanded, Israel continues to kill children, women and the elderly and destroys, imposes siege and commits genocide against a people who only posses stones to defend themselves, builds the separation wall and demolishes homes, farms and trees.
In fact, the fundamental responsibility falls upon the United Nations in protecting the Palestinian people and enabling them to establish their independent state with Al Quds as capital. This in accordance with the UN partition resolution of 29th November 1947 which was abandoned leaving the Palestinian people for five decades at the mercy of dispersion, torture and occupation. It is about time that this injustice is redressed by means of extending support to the Palestinian people in their quest for achieving their noble objectives.
AAPSO that has continuously supported the Palestinian people in their struggle, and on the occasion of this International Day strongly condemns all Israel’s racist policies against the Palestinians and its disregard of all international laws, conventions and norms particularly the 4th Geneva Convention, and demands that the UN Secretary General be supported in his request to providing international protection for the Palestinian people promptly.
AAPSO lauds the Palestinian militants, sons of the Intifada as well as the heroic martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their country, and praises Palestinian prisoners who are detained and tortured for the future of their people. Moreover, AAPSO expresses its hope that all the Palestinian people’s objectives and aspirations will be realized for the establishment of the state of Palestine, its capital Al Quds and return of refugees.

Secretary General, AAPSO

Dear Nouri,
We are all deeply shocked at the passing away of Yasser Arafat. Professor Anisuzzaman and I issued a condolence message on learning of the great loss. It was published in national press here. Both of us went to the Palestinian Embassy on the 12th to sign the condolence book. It would be very kind of you to forward the following message to the PLO.
"Message from Bangladesh AAPSO"
For forty years Yasser Arafat had led the Palestinians in their struggle to attain a homeland of their own. His contribution in shaping disparate groups of refugees into a band of organized freedom fighters is immense. We trust that the Palestinian people will retain his legacy through unity and realize his dream through ceaseless struggle.

We are organizing a national condolence meeting on 19 November where leaders of political parties and members of civil society will pay their homage to the great fighter of our times.

From Korean Committee for Afro-Asian Solidarity

Dear friends,
Greetings from the Korean Committee for Afro-Asian Solidarity.
Recently the facts that the U.S. has secretly worked out and actively pursued very dangerous war scenarios to attack the DPRK are revealed.
These facts clearly prove that the U.S. worked out three dimensional war plans involving not only the period of emergency but the pre- and post-war periods in the conception of war long ago and has steadily modified and supplemented them in a bid to stifle the DPRK by force.
The U.S. is working despicably to stifle the DPRK by force behind the scene of dialogue despite its lip-service to the peaceful solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and the six-party talks.
The United States must drop its hostile policy toward the DPRK and cancel all its dangerous scenarios for a war against the DPRK if it truly wants peace on the Korean peninsula and a peaceful solution to its nuclear issue.
The world progressive people should turn out in the anti-U.S. struggle to avert a war and defend peace to cope with the situation on the Korean peninsula which is getting tenser than ever before due to the U.S.
With best regards,

Attention to :

* President Rohy Fatouh- Temporarily President of Palestinian authority.
* Brothers in the PLO Executive Committee
* Brothers in Fatah Movement.

The Arab Lawyers' Union learnt with gross grief and Sadness the death of President Yasser Arafat in Paris. The Arab Lawyers' Union considers him a symbol of Arab and Palestinian struggle against the Zionist Occupation supported by the USA.
We know that the wide Palestinian experiment in struggling for their legitimate and national rights as well as their national unity among all their brave struggling groups will be their first defence line. That will abort the Zionists and American plans aiming at eliminating the Palestinian rights. For many years "Abu Ammar" was challenging there
plans.
God rest him with Arab and Palestinians martyrs souls.
Victory is allied to the those who struggle.

General Assembly
The American aggression on Fallojah renews the massacres against the innocent people and leads to Arab and Palestinian comprehensive deterioration

The Arab Organization of Human Rights watches with extreme anxious the aggravation of American forces in Fallujah, Iraq, which is, considered a big attack since the American Occupation under the pretext of being the center of the pro-American city.
Also, they considered the city which gives sheltering people who have relations with terrorist organizations. These pretexts are unlegal and untrue alleged by foreign forces.
What makes the current situation even more serious in the American siege around the city on the last days which prevent more than 200 thousands of innocent people to escape from the city. This proves what had happened will be repeated widely especially among women and children.
The organization does not only condemn the American attacks against civilians but also asks the international society to do their duty against Americans and to exert efforts to stop the present massacres. In addition it also ask Arab government to adopt all necessary procedures to end this attacks.

The Israeli-Palestinian Dialogue
A faithfulness world
Abu-Ammar still lives in the hearts of millions

We send our condolences from over broken hearts to all Palestinian people by the death of the great Abu-Ammar the symbol of resistance and dignity. All the last years, Arafat was our closed friend.
We saw with many people in the West Bank how the greatest leader was honoured by the world leaders and peoples who knows him as a humble man devoted himself for the sake of his faithful people who sacrificed themselves for the struggle against occupation.
We pointed out to the behaviours of the Israeli leaders who still say cheap lairs even after his death. This proves their deep rooted raciest who was imprisoned him in the West Bank till his health was deteriorated which is considered an unforgettable shameless incidents.
We will always remember Abu-Ammar who lives in our hearts as struggling for ending the Israeli occupation and establishing the Palestinian State with its capital Jerusalem.
We will always stands crying in his honoured tomb.
