FOR BOLSHEVISM IN SOLIDARITY WITH LIBYAN PEOPLE

On March 29, For Bolshevism-AUCP took part in a demonstration with Libyan people protesting against NATO bombardment of Libya. It was held outside Lancaster House during the Libay Conference.

Up to 200 Libyans gathered outside a conference called by foreign secretary William Hague in London yesterday to pledge their allegiance to Colonel Muammar Gadaffi as Western nations demanded he leaves power.

Across the road from the Libyan demonstration against the conference on strategies for the country if Colonel Muammar Gadaffi is forced from power, Stop the War Coalition and CND also staged a protest demanding an end to the intervention led by France with Britain, the US and an array of other European nations.

We note that the imperialist leftist "stop the war coalition" quckly distanced itself from the Pro-Gadaffi part of the protest on account of the organisers spotting "something written on one of the banners that suggests they support Gaddafii". They quickly moved away to the other side of the road and largely out of view. Meanwhile the revolutionary left supporters including For Bolshevism-AUCPB remained with the Libyan people at the protest and in support of Gaddaffi.

Throughout the afternoon, pro-NATO Libyan oppositionists constantly tried stoking up tension at the demo by attacking the pro-Gadaffi protest by and sending in their provocatoers and trying to start fights.
