ON 100TH ANNIVERSARY GLORY TO OCTOBER REVOLUTION AND ITS LEADERS! LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!

Apart from the massive and combative unrests and popular protests of the Philippine people against the visit of US president Trump and the ASEAN conference last weekend, significant actions were also carried out directly against the counter-revolutionary forces in the Philippines. The New People’s Army fighting in the People’s War, in a number of successful operations, was able to deal great blows to police and military forces serving the old Philippine state to uphold its oppression of the people.

Police posing with "fake Maoists surrendering"

Today, Indian bourgeois news outlet The Hindu published yet another article describing the police’s and military’s practices of endorsing ‘fake surrenders’. According to sources in the CRPF’s supervision committee for such surrenders, more than 90% of them are found to be constructed by police and military personal itself. The goal is obvious: Claiming promotions and benefits for high surrender quotas by giving false promises to poor peasants to lure them in.

Since Friday, every day thousands of Philippine people took to the streets protesting the role US imperialism plays in their exploitation and oppression. Denouncing US imperialism’s influence and plans for their country, numerous marches and actions we carried out, often confronting the police, on occasion of Trump's visit to the Philippines coinciding with ASEAN Summit that ended today.

When during the firefights and massacers, committed by police forces in the days between the 24th and 27th of October last year, 31 comrades and young adivasis laid down their lifes in the struggle for a better future, the Indian reaction celebrated their victory like it was the end of the People's War. Today, roughly one year later, the actions and ongoing national and international support of the struggles, show how false their claims have been.

Fighters of the Afghan national resistance, in the bourgeois media often simply generalised as “Taliban” undertook various armed actions and assaults on police and military bases in the south and south-west of the country. Altogether, more than 120 agents of the reaction were killed in less than a week, between 17th and 19th of October.

The most recent action took place on a military base in the south of the country, where the Resistance annihilated 43 Afghan footman soldiers on the 19th of October. The base is located in Chashmo, Maiwand district, in the province of Caandar.

National Resistance fighters used military pickup trucks loaded with explosives to reach targets. The entire training camp at the base has been reduced to dust, according to Dawlat Waziri, a spokesman for the Defense Ministry.

Another significant attack occurred on the 17th of October. The fighters assaulted a police complex in Gardez, Paktia province, and killed more than 60. Among the dead are the provincial police chief, Toryalai Abdyani.

The fighters disguised themselves as police to infiltrate the complex and had three vehicles filled with explosives, among them a truck, to clear the way. They then made an incursion with 11 armed men who fought a five-hour battle.

On the same day, in the neighboring province of Gharzni, 15 agents were annihilated in similar attacks. Counting all the assaults, 120 agents in the service of the colonial occupation directed by the Yankees were annihilated.

 

In a recently published open letter university professor and political prisoner G. N. Saibaba denounces the atrocities the Indian government commits against political prisoners such as him. Addressing his wife, he points out how the purposeful omission of any warm closing is more or less a death sentence for prisoners like him.

A bandh called by the CPI (Maoist) affected the south Odisha districts of Rayagada, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Ganjam and Gajapation last Saturday. For many hours, shops and workplaces remained to be closed or empty and the transit system seized to function as workers and small traders followed the Party’s call support the activities.
