Long Live Free Algeria!
A savage repression descends on Algeria.
Many Algerian workers are under surveillance or arrested.
The MTLD [Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties] and its newspaper “L’Algerie libre” are banned.
The Mendès-Mitterrand government and the rubbish press wrap up Algerian Resistance fighters in slander and insults.
To this campaign of hatred designed to conceal colonialist schemes, we respond:
Terrorism is not an isolated fact, nor is it provoked by Radio Cairo broadcasts.
The revolt is the consequence of 124 years of expropriations, super-exploitation, repression and massacres.
It is the only hope of the fellahs and agricultural workers earning 250 francs a day, of the hundreds of thousands of unemployed, of the emigrants flowing back to the shantytowns, engaged in a fight to the death for independence, that is to say, against exploiter colonialism.
All united, despite the lies of some and the silence of others (the major so-called workers’ parties), we will demonstrate our solidarity with Algerian workers and demand:
-
the withdrawal of the contingent and all troops from North Africa. We don’t want a new Indochina queue, we don’t want our sons and brothers in uniform to be turned into “fellaghas hunters”.
-
the lifting of the ban on the MTLD and its newspaper “L’Algérie libre”.
-
the release of Messali Hadj and all MTLD militants.
