Day of mass protest planned to dismiss the “interim government� and expel the US occupying troops from Iraq

After the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1546, America is now going to legitimize the current “interim government� under the rubric of an “authority handover� planned for June 30. The "interim government" is the outcome of the US policies based on starving millions and bringing war, destruction, murder, torture and the disintegration of the civil society to Iraq. The “interim government� will rely totally on the support of US and its allies’ troops.

This government is incapable of providing bread, stability, freedom, and a humane future for people. It cannot protect the society from the grim and dreadful scenario which is unfolding in Iraq. It is a government established to save the US political projects from fiasco and to ensure that America's first step to establish the “New World Order� will succeed. The “interim government� will only survive through war and murder and at the expense of children, women, workers and toilers in Iraq.

But who are those grouped in this “interim government?� They are a collection of Arab and Kurdish ethnocentric and Islamic groups who over the last 13 years supported the economic sanctions, wars, and killings by America against the Iraqis. In addition to tribal leaders, the interim government consists of remnants of the Baath regime and political charlatans who have accumulated their wealth by supporting bloodshed and destruction and who have been on the payroll of the C.I.A. These are the people who will be legitimized under the rubric of “authority handover.� The US Government is putting this interim government in control of the rights and freedoms of the masses in Iraq under the American democracy and according to Islamic Sharia, and the sectarian and ethnocentric identities. Thus, such a government is illegitimate and is imposed on the masses from above.

* This government must be forced to resign through mass struggle and to hand the authority over to a government that represents the people of Iraq.

* The US occupation must end and all coalition forces must withdraw immediately from Iraq. All the international institutions must officially recognize the Iraqi masses’ right to determine their destiny.

* Only a government made up of representatives of the masses and based on their direct intervention and supported by the international civilized humanity is able to save the Iraqi society from the current impasse and provide bread, stability, freedom and civility.

The Worker-communist Party of Iraq stands in the forefront of the mass struggle to force the “interim government� to resign, end the occupation, and expel the US forces and its allies from Iraq. We declare 30/6/2004 a day of protest and therefore will organize protest rallies and sit-ins in front the US embassies in Europe, Canada and Australia.


The Worker-communist Party of Iraq calls upon all labour and leftist parties and organizations and freedom loving people worldwide to stand by the masses in Iraq and support their demands. It also calls upon them to participate in these gatherings and sit-ins. Our demonstrations and sit-ins in Europe, Canada and Australia will take place on June 28 to 30.
