France, Coordination of Anarchist Groups - In Mali, as elsewhere, class war against imperialist war (fr)

For several months, groups religious fascists spread terror in northern Mali, and imposed 
a dictatorship local populations. Composed of former Gaddafi mercenaries, with arms and 
baggage repatriated from Libya, bandits and smugglers, they brandish timely 
politico-religious ideology to justify their activities. ---- For several months, groups

social misery whose source is capitalism, social misery reinforced by neo-colonialism. In 
the case of Mali, the food crisis that hoarders grain speculation caused by capitalist 
exploitation of the peasants is one of the important factors in the development of 
Fascists in northern Mali.

They also benefit from the historical discrimination made to the Tuareg and Arab 
minorities by the Malian government, and also many abuses by the Malian army in the region 
and continued in the current conflict. They thrive finally around racist who oppose the 
people of the region by removing the social question.

The law imposed by the Salafis can not meet anyone, nor the inhabitants and citizens 
condemned to live under the rule of religious fascists that countries in the region who 
fear the destabilization nor Malian Malian nor see their country cut two on the brink of 
collapse.

French hypocrisy

The French government justified its war on behalf of the fight against "Islamic 
terrorists". However, it has no problem with religious fascist regimes when they are 
allied to him, whether Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the current Egyptian regime, caciques Libyan 
National Council Transition and much more ...

The French intervention is primarily related to the willingness of the French bourgeoisie 
to defend its pre-neocolonial square in West Africa, and to protect its strategic 
interests, including uranium mines in Niger are an important part of uranium supply the 
French nuclear industry: Areva. The 2010 coup in Niger, orchestrated by the French 
government, was part elsewhere in this perspective.
The French government plays in this part of Africa game thinly veiled political control of 
the region. A former colonial empire, too light, replaced a situation under control with a 
lot of corruption, coups, military support to dictatorships.

We are convinced that for populations in southern and northern Mali, nothing good will 
come out of the army, whether the French army or the Malian army, whose exactions only 
reinforce the fascists.

Need for autonomous struggle

Salafis beat, freedom to the people of Gao or Timbuktu, this should be the case in Mali 
and Malians themselves. That would mean a break with the dependence vis-?-vis the former 
colonial power at the same time it would be an awareness of discrimination against the 
existing economic and social inequalities. A need to fight against a system of political 
and economic governance, which has corrupted the societal and cultural values, and 
community dispossessed of its agricultural land and mining against part no.

There are other possibilities that support intervention imperialism or militarism of the 
Malian government to deal with abuses religious fascists. Among the latter, the 
development of peasant and worker self, independent of all States, and the struggle for 
social equality. This path is not easy, but nothing good for the people is never out of 
arm forces of the State.

It seems clear that French troops have nothing to do in Africa or elsewhere. We affirm at 
the same time our opposition to religious fascism and fascism at all, and the need to 
combat the root, by taking the soil that allows their development, the capitalist 
organization of society. In the case of Mali, this necessitates the fight against 
wholesalers and processors of grain and against the capitalist mining

We reaffirm our conviction that only the self-organization and self popular out of all 
logical and racial identity are able to fight the fascist plague, while preserving cholera 
imperialist.
