Adopted at November 29, 2006 MAWO General Meeting

WHEREAS there is currently a growing international imperialist propaganda campaign calling for foreign intervention in Sudan. Those pushing this campaign are the governments of imperialist countries such as the United States, Britain and Canada, all citing the current internal conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan as an attempt to justify foreign military intervention and sanctions.

BE IT RESOLVED that firstly, we as Mobilization Against War & Occupation (MAWO) reaffirm that Sudan is an independent and sovereign nation. No foreign country, coalition of foreign countries, or international organizations has the right to impose their will or interests on Sudan’s internal affairs.

Secondly, we point to the recent invasions, wars, and occupations that imperialists tried to cover with “humanitarian” concerns – whether working separately or together in the destruction and pillaging of Iraq, or under a “multilateral” mandate like the United Nations death squad occupation of Haiti, or the NATO organized destruction of Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. We have not forgotten the last five years.

We know that Sudan is also very rich in natural resources with huge deposits of oil, natural gas, copper, and uranium. All of these are coveted by Sudan’s self-professed “benevolent” invaders. Sudan also borders nine other African nations and would be used, like Afghanistan in the Middle East, as a bridge to war and occupation throughout Africa.

Therefore, MAWO demands an immediate end to the imperialist intervention and threats against Sudan, whether by individual countries or through a United Nations or NATO mandate.

Canada/US/UN/EU/NATO Hands Off Sudan!
No to Invasion of Sudan!
End Imperialist Threats Against Africa!
Self-Determination for All Oppressed Nations!
