We have received this appeal from workers in Iraq against the victimisation of an Iraqi trade unionist in the oil industry. Please send message of protest to the Iraqi authorities and copies to the address provided here in the appeal.
Formally speaking Bush has gained control of Iraq, and now
the puppet Iraqi government has been granting oil concessions to the major
multinational oil corporations. But all this comes at a heavy price in
political terms...
When the coalition
forces marched into Baghdad
in March 2003, the imperialists were full of confidence. The things they
were going to do! Intoxicated by the power of their military machine, they
predicted a glowing future for Iraq
and the Middle East. How different things are
now!
