ANCYL supports march against blood thirsty imperialists

League says US, France and Britain are meddling in Libya for economic gain

ANC YOUTH LEAGUE SUPPORTS WORKERS' MARCH AGAINST THE IMPERIALIST INVASION OF LIBYA:

The ANC Youth League is fully behind workers' march against the invasion of Libya. Under, the leadership of NUMSA and COSATU, workers will on the Wednesday, the 6th of July 2011, march to the embassies of the blood and oil thirsty imperialists, particularly the United States, France and Britain.

The ANC Youth League has already called on all its members and youth of South African to join the voices that oppose the imperialist invasion of Libya by NATO, whose main focus to secure the economic interests of the US, France and Britain.

All workers and youth across the country, the continent and the world should condemn all forms of neo-colonialism and imperialist invasion of sovereign nations in the name of protecting human rights. Since when are imperialist forces protectors of human rights whilst they have been in the forefront of illegal wars and murderous crusades in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cessation of hostilities by NATO forces should be begged, but should be demanded and exposed in whatever progressive forces are engaged in.

The ANC Youth League will also deploy its leadership to go and join workers in condemnation of the NATO's imperialist invasion of Libya. The march will start at the French Embassy, 250 Melk Street, corner Wilhemina and Boschoff Streets, New Muckleneuk at Brooklyn at 10H00.
