Arab dictatorships launching their biggest attack on the masses | | |
The situation looks quite bleak for the future of the Arab peoples' revolutions: the official machine of the regimes' repression is unleashed to its maximum in several countries, threatening to put down by brutal force the uprisings of the Libyan, Bahraini and Yemeni masses. | | |
In Libya, the forces of Qaddafi's regime are heading east, overcoming the courageous resistance of the Libyan rebels by its extensive use of bombardment from sea boats, jet fighters and ground multi-missile launchers. The US and some other European governments that showed early enthusiasm for direct military intervention, are claiming now that imposing a no-fly zone over rebel areas is not feasible. This could be understood only in the light of the refusal of the rebellious Libyans of any direct foreign military intervention in their country. Every party made it clear now that the freedom, real freedom, of the Libyan people is not their interest, and that the Libyan masses have to depend solely on their courage and determination against the superior forces of Qaddafi's regime. | | |
Qaddafi put in front of his own people two options: slavery or death. The US, for its part, made it very clear by its actions the way they understand the solution to the crisis: its is either Qaddafi or the US. It is certain that the Libyan rebels still enjoy a very high morale despite that, but it is also certain that the fate of the revolution, including the fate of every Libyan who rose for his or her freedom, looks bleak now. | | |
In Yemen, two days ago, the forces of the regime unleashed a full scale attack against the students of Sana'a University in the square near their university , Taqeer ("change"). 7 protestors lost their lives and many others were injured. It is very much revealing that the same day, the US president Obama called the Yemeni opposition to accept the offer of the Yemeni dictator Ali Saleh to end the struggle and accept minor changes in the political structure of the regime. Saleh, at the same time, promised to protect the lives of the rebellious youth. But again, last night, the baltajia (thugs) of the Saleh's regime attacked the people. But the square is still under the control of the rebel youth. | | |
