VICTORY IN EGYPT! U.S. HANDS OFF THE ONGOING EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION!

The United National Antiwar Committee has issued a statement about the recent victory in Egypt. UNAC is the coalition of local and national antiwar organizations who have been planning a National Mobilization with Bi Coastal Demonstrations around the demands of: Bring The Troops Home Now! End U.S. Wars and Occupations! Money For Jobs, Not For War! Demonstrations will be in New York on April 9th and San Francisco on April 10th.

Their statement about Egypt makes some important points about how the Egyptians ongoing struggle intersects with our special obligations as antiwar activists in the United States. "No military regime in power has ceded true democracy to their people. Obama has made clear he is solidly committed to Omar Suleiman, who has collaborated with Washington in its rendition and torture policies. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was quoted in the New York Times as saying that Washington would help organize political parties for future elections in Egypt." This makes clear what we already knew. The U.S. plans to manipulate ongoing events in

Egypt.

It is more important than ever that we keep up the pressure and build the upcoming demonstrations. In addition we need to expand the discussions with our friends and co workers. Those of us who are opposed to U.S. wars and U.S. occupations must not limit our sights to Iraq and Afghanistan. We must pressure for the U.S. to cut off 1.3 billion in military aid that the U.S. gives to Egypt yearly.

U.S. warships headed for Egypt must be immediately turned around.

All U.S. soldiers serving in Egypt, such as those in the Multinational Force in the Sinai must be immediately withdrawn.

From its founding, UNAC has opposed all U.S. aid to Israel. The pressure for this demand is even more important now.
