DEM VOLKE DIENEN

It has come to our attention that the comrades from La victoria de los oprimidos y explotados undertook the internationalist effort of translating the article “Ongoing riots of the masses in Ecuador – State of Emergency declared” that was published on Dem Volke Dienen Monday the 7th October. We salute the work the comrades have made and have published the article in full in the Spanish section of this website.

Henceforth we mirror their translation also in this place:

In the following we want to draw the attention of our readers to a significant new webpage that features a comprehensive collection of (Spanish language) materials with “information about the People’s War, Chairman Gonzalo and Maoism”: banderaroja.org

The link has been included also into our link list.

Last Wednesday and Thursday, Ecuadorian President Moreno was scheduled the to visit the FRG and meet with chancellor Merkel. His visit, however, fell flat when turmoil took Ecuador by storm last week following the application of IMF dictates hugely impacting the lifes of most Ecuadorians. Since then, hundreds of protesters and police have been injured in ongoing clashes between the police and army on one side and the poor peasantry and deepest and broadest masses from the cities on the other side. Ecuador is currently under the State of Emergency, with a nation-wide General Strike declared for upcoming Wednesday.

Since Tuesday huge demonstrations took place in Iraq. The number of unemployd peolpe is high and the public infrastructure, like scholls or hospitals is week. The ruling system has no perspective for the mases. Irag is one of the most oil-rich countries in the world, but there is an energy crisis. The resources are exported to the imperialist oppressors, of which the Iraqi people have nothing at all.

Since days, the Ecuadorian people are fighting bitterly against the old semi-feudal and semi-colonial state and imperialism.

With revolutionary enthusiasm and internationalist salutations we forward the information that yesterday, on the 70th Anniversary of the proclamation of the People’s Republic of China, comrades from China have launched their very own website “MLM Library” that can be reached at “maozhuyi.home.blog”  (“maozhuyi” translates into “Maoism”).

For last Monday, a presentation of Gustavo Gorriti was scheduled to take place in Hamburg University. Against this, internationalist activists distributed a leaflet. Also, pictures of an action with the slogans “Gorriti = CIA” and “Guerra Popular hasta el communismo” are being circulated. Both can be found in German and in Spanish. In the end, the event was canceled.
