Sit in near American Embassy in South Africa to Protest US Threats against Syria

PRETORIA, South Africa- The Communist Party Youth Organization in South Africa in cooperation with the Syrian community in Pretoria and Johannesburg organized a sit in front of the American Embassy in Pretoria to protest the American threats against Syria.

 Participants from Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and Yemen took part in the event which was held under the slogan “Alliance against Imperialist Aggression on Syria”.

In a letter of protest addressing the American government and its allies at the European Union, the Alliance condemned the American colonialist and domination policies in the region and blasted the US threats of military aggression on Syria to serve the terrorist organizations and armed groups which seek the destruction of the Syrian state.

They criticized the double standard policies practiced by the US and the European countries as regards fight terrorism.

“They show themselves as the party which calls for fighting terrorism and al-Qaeda-linked groups, but in fact they support the terrorists who kill innocent people in Syria,” the letter said.

The Alliance urged the United States to halt its support for the terrorist groups in Syria and to destroy its arsenal of mass destruction weapons.

The “Alliance against Imperialist Aggression on Syria” comprises representatives of political and economic parties, workers unions and youth and students organizations from South Africa, Syria and some Arab countries.
