Presentation of Anti-Imperialist Internationalist Front in Xixon
Ángeles Diez, University of Complutense’s sociology professor and member of FAI has held a presentation in Xixón’s library Jovellanos on June 29th on conference under the name “We are at war”.
The conference dealt with the fact that 33 armed conflicts are taking place in the world, 13 of which in Africa, 10 in Asia, 3 in Europe, 1 in America and 6 in the Middle East; that a single country possesses over 800 military bases outside of it’s territory, and that a “defensive” military organisation extended all the way to Colombia in a rather offensive manner.
Apart from the global analysis, Spanish role in this imperialist conglomerate has been evaluated: being left without military sovereignty it participates in 15 “missions” abroad serving US interests. Spanish weapons industry’s sales is among the top 10 European countries with increase of 133% sales to Saudi Arabia (weapons used to commit massacres in Yemen).
Ángeles also pointed out that the concept of “peace being for women, and war being for men” is incorrect since women are also involved as warriors, militias, military officers, just as many men have taken the lead of the peace movements.
The conference concludes with a proposal of construction of an Anti-Imperialist Front with a gender-race perspective to reinforce solidarity across the globe giving the priority to the regions where the imperialism projects it’s aggressive nature.
