Slaying the Unemployed People Reveals the Real Face of the
Thousands of
people took to the street demanding job opportunities; they marched towards the
city hall building in a peaceful demonstration, denouncing the unemployment and
its impact.
The current
authorities who promised a lot during the election campaign such as delivering
better social services and job creation, have revealed their real faces and the
extent of human hatred they stock up, giving the fact that they responded with
opening fire on the people for the second time in one week (the first one was
in Kirkuk, when 4 people were killed in a demonstration against the decree
issued by the government to pump the price of fuel up three times the previous
one).
The police
opened fire on the unarmed people in a barbaric act killing 4 among them 13
years old boy and injuring 36 others, just because they demanded job
opportunities.
The current government and the occupying troops have
proven their incompetence in terms of creating jobs, not to mention other areas
of poor performance in a course of almost 3 years. In fact the parties in power
had no interest but securing their share in the government and forced the
people to get involved in their endless conflict, while the people needs and
aspirations were totally unthought-of. They promised to do well in their
campaign and did completely otherwise after the election.
Killing the unemployed people will not back us down,
however it strengthens us to expand and extend our struggle.
We call upon all workers to stand by the cause of the
unemployed. We call upon the labor movement in all over the world to support
our cause by all means. And stand against the
Long Live People Will
