People's Revolution: The Struggle enters into another hot Phase

Mounting tensions which earlier this month manifested themselves in the provocations of Imbaba and Maspiro have culminated in another hot phase of the struggle.

Both Palestine and the Egyptian Revolution have once again proven their central relevance to the popular democratic endeavours throughout the Middle East, when the Palestinian protests and international commemorations of Nakba Day set the scene for a new wave of massive repression in both Egypt and the Palestinian territories. Since all Arab and Middle Eastern revolutions are results of the same global system, and its utter failure to provide for the population's most basic needs, none of all the events taking place in the region can be separated from the other, nor can they be separated from the greater sequence of global developments.
The repression that is exercised in one country does therefore spread into all other countries in the same way as the popular uprisings.

What is key now is not to surrender in the face of accelerated state violence, not to give one inch to those who are attempting to manipulate the uprisings themselves, not to allow of any micromanagement by these forces and, most of all, to unite all powers of the revolution into a firm and organised response. However firm, brutal, merciless and unscrupulous the measures taken by the old order to defend its domain, this is the moment when this order itself has been shaken in its foundations. This is the moment when it can be toppled by a united revolutionary action of the people.

One thing must be understood: the revolution can be defended only by the revolution itself. The people shall not be liberated by anyone save themselves. Liberation of the people by the people is the only solution.
Defend itself is what this revolution must do. It is now that history is made. Let us fulfill this mission! Let us not fall short of the required clarity and determination.

We shall prevail.
