Following we publish an leaflet from the "Red Front Collektiv" from Austria, on occasion of the protests against the EU-Africa summit in Vienna on the 17.th and 18.th of december that was published in New Epoch media.

Imperialists get out of Africa! For the New Democratic Revolution!

In the course of Austria‘s Presidency of the EU council, the last summit, the „EU-Africa summit“, takes place in Vienna. And though many „African representatives“ can take part in it, it‘s still obvious that (in participation of 1000 corporations) it is a meeting for the further exploitation and oppression of the African continent by the imperialists of the EU, if nothing else because of the position of the old continent of colonial rulers. That this is a special summit for the Austrian bourgeoisie is also shown by many international meetings and the recently occurred Eastern Africa Trip of federal chancellor Kurz, where only in Ethiopia 1,5 Million in addition to the fixated 7,5 Million were affirmed. What‘s being presented as „new“ and „innovative“ under the name of „development collaboration“, is the old reactionary combat term for the further subjugation and plundering of the African people under an imperialist prefix. With the difference, that Africa was in it‘s absolute biggest part divisioned amongst the European colonial rulers then, and now this position primarily needs to be defended and stretched against US, Chinese and Russian imperialism.

We forward the article that was published on New Epoch Media

On the 17th and 18th of December the EU-Africa Summit was held in Vienna (Austria) under the Presidency of the EU council by Austria. Various activities were made in protest against the summit of the imperialist exploiters and oppressors. Struggling anti imperialists and activists from African migrants were part of these protests and showed the justified slogan „EU: Hands off Africa!“
 
On the 17th of December there was a strong demonstration which was dominated by anti imperialist slogans like „EU, China, USA – Hands off Africa!“. The „Alliance against the plundering of Africa“ and especially it‘s anti imperialist activists gave a lively and struggling expression to this demonstration. On the second day of the summit there was an activity of migrant activists from the D.R. Kongo against the summit and especially against the president Paul Kagame of Ruanda. They expressed that for example the Smartphones which are used in the „Western Countries“ are paid for with the blood of the Congolese peoples and that the EU is one of the main actors in this bloody exploitation. At this activity there was a good unity between activists from Kongo and anti imperialist activists from Austria, which is an important step forward to joint protests and struggle against imperialist aggression and exploitation.
 
These actions and protests against the EU-Africa summit are an important sign against Chauvinism and for the importance of international solidarity. Bourgeois media try to hide the exploitation and suppression of the African masses, as well as by „left“ activists and organizations. This solidarity and the joint struggle of African and Austrian activists is an important step in the struggle for the slogan „Imperialists out of Africa“. There was also a banner with the slogan „For the new-democratic revolution!“. Against all the imperialist cry of „development aid“ and „underdeveloped countries“, only the struggle for the new-democratic revolution will bring real independence from imperialism!

The following is an article of the Parti Communiste Maoïste, that was published yesterday in French and English, that we mirror here for its importance:

The following is a video produced by the AND team during the Solidarity Mission to Enilson Ribeiro Camp, in Rondônia, in October 2018.

The filmed record shows the vibrant peasant demonstration that brought together more than a thousand peasants in the municipality of Seringueiras (RO), on 10/18/2018, and denounced the criminal threat of ownership repossession by INCRA against Enilson Ribeiro Camp.

Cape Town: Since two months the workers from „MyCiTI“, an outsourced company by the city of Cape Town, are on strike. Still more than 200 workers are striking and other workers show their solidarity. Their demands are higher wages, better working conditions and not being employed by „outsourced companies“, but again by the city. They also demand to speak with the new mayor Don Plato. The company and union representatives call the strike „illegal“, so they provoked violence against the workers and want to brake the solidarity.

On December 3rd the CPI (Maoist) declared their solidarity and support with plantation workers in Nilambur. The workers who daily work their backs off on the cashew and rubber plantations are mainly tribal people. They represent the oppressed and exploited in India. They are forced, especially in the harvest season, to work countless overtime hours that are not paid. The capitalists constantly threaten to dismiss them if the workers do not bow to their will. And now they are announcing their justified protest against the exploiters, what of course must be supported by the Maoists and must be led by the Communist party into revolutionary paths.

In the following, we mirror a video send to us by the media collective of "Kang Scheng Productions" who have gathered material from the "Yellow Jackets" Movement in France and footage from militant actions in the support of the maoist Communist Party of France and the Young Revolutionaries taken during actions in the FRG. Amidst the highest "Level of Terror Alert" in France, which of cause found its repercussions in the neighboring FRG  with dramatic increase in police presence, arbitraty roadblocks and police checkpoints as well as hightend surveillance and alertness of the repressive forces in general, activists in several cities made a number of action in support of the struggle of our class brothers and sisters in France.
