In the third anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq

Ending the occupation is our mission

The bloody war led by the US has resulted in catastrophic implications destroying the entire basic civil live. It put the society into a verge of sectarian war as a result of ethnic and religious division carried out by US appointed government who defined the Iraqi citizen based on religion and language. Also it carried over the conflict among the parties in power (who represent the regional and international interests) to the society and dragged it into their own disagreement causing thousands of casualties and making the lives of people as hell because of the lack of security, unemployment, sky high inflation and the lack of civil and social services. As the US administration claims that their troops are staying in Iraq to maintain security we see that the sectarian violence is spreading in a larger scale.

With the continuation of occupation policies and the regional powers influences, the Iraqi people find no hope of ending the current tragic situations in the foreseeable future.

The presence of workers as a class in many social activities and presenting themselves as human being rather than ethnically and religiously divided people, have created a solid ground of a social movement who can put forward the humanitarian alternative where the workers are its spearhead. The workers will be able to play this historic role once they have their means to draw the fate of the society.

The Federation of worker councils and unions in Iraq has always being struggling to be a reliable organization to assist the workers to impose their will and interest, and to change the current situation to the best of the society as a step forward to establish a society where exploitation and slavery have no ground whatsoever.

Our federation has risen the slogan stating: the strength of the working class in its unity and organization. Revolving the workers around their interests and goals is essential to end the sectarian, ethnic and religious division.

 

Long live freedom

Long live workers will
