Translated "Avante!" article by Luis Carapinha, Member of the PCP International Department
Pakistan has once more required the end of drones’ attacks, perpetrated by the USA. In a note addressed to the Security Council, last week, Islamabad remembers a blatant evidence which the dominant media sharp pen has erased: such acts violate “Pakistan’s sovereignty and international law, including human rights and humanitarian law”. Being true, the Pakistan’s government note also states that the USA’s furtive actions “ mine the conjoint efforts of the fight against terrorism”. The USA’s answer was prompt. Four missiles, fired by a drone over the North Waziristan tribal area provoked, at least, seven more deadly victims, last Sunday. Within Pakistan, it was the drones’ 19th aggression, this year. The USA deadly machine, carries on methodically and with impunity, the state terrorism policy, ignoring the Pakistanis’ authority and sovereignty, but the State Department announces it is ready to reinitiate the “ strategic dialogue” with Islamabad and Washington has just sent its condolences following the suicidal attempt against a Peshawar church. Within this Asiatic country, indignation grows before the American crimes and interference. The freezing of relations and deepening of contradictions between both countries, proving the tendency of the USA’s political isolation, is a reality to be followed attentively, even knowing the links of decades of close collaboration among the Pakistani leader classes together with the imperialism subversive manoeuvre are not immediately eradicated via the mere reset of power alliances in Islamabad and within the regional framework.
Nobody knows the real number of victims of the killer operations with apparatus guided at a distance (drones) which Bush initiated and Obama carries on. Different estimates are situated in thousands, not only in Pakistan, but in Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia Libya and other countries, candidates to the list to become “ pariah states”.
Obama ought to emphatically proclaim the end of the endless war (against terrorism), as he stated in an exalted speech on the 23rd May last. But, the prison which is to be closed up at the Guantanamo base, in Cuba’s occupied territory, aggressions and hindered operations under the CIA or the Pentagon’s command, far from slowing down, aggravating.
Under the pretext of a relentless war against terrorism and the Al-Qaeda fighters, the USA’s actions spread destabilization and sectarianism, promoting obscurantist forces and retro-feed terrorism’s machine, as wholly proved in all aspects concerning the Syria current situation. In opposition to the security and humanitarian rhetoric, which exhibits itself more and more torn apart, the stain of terror does not stop expanding. Within a framework of imperialism terrorist strategy, which attempts against countries sovereignty and territorial integrity and hits the elementary principles of the UN Charter and world peace, currently.
Being a weakness symptom and of the system’s general decay, focusing the imperialist centre, the offensive in progress becomes more dangerous. The financial-military-industrial complex power, which moves the USA policy, has reasons to be concerned . The dollar domain within the world monetary arquitecture, mostly anchored to the petro-dollar system, is confronted. Its anachronism is real. The monstrous North-American debt pyramid, is pendent along the knife edge.
To stop imperialism terror and war strategy achieve its global agenda is an unquestionable issue at these present times.
