In Kivu region in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), tens of thousands of women
were raped and mutilated. The violence continues and now affect girls and babies. A sadly
common example of the use of rape as a weapon of war, highlighted by the figure of a
doctor that "restores women." ---- The film The Man Who repairs the women currently on
screens (large cities and not for long) recounts the work of Denis Mukwege, a Congolese
gynecologist who operates and tries to repair organs mutilated women. ---- Since 1994 and
the arrival of the Rwandan genocide, militias and armed forces clash on this field. Lulls,
peace agreements and demobilization succeed and it is still not peace. Rapes have never
stopped even if Dr. Mukwege has seen a recent decline in arrivals in his clinic. Armed
militias and fought (also) for access to the wealth of the subsoil of this region
contains, among other cassiterite and coltan, essential components of electronic devices
and especially our mobile phones.
The responsibility of rich countries' enterprises is not clearly established (but we only
lend to the rich ...) in the looting and violence that they induce. It seems a little
cleaning is done in the traceability of the origin of the metals and the prohibition to
supply the black market in war zones. But it's like the pig turned into France who leaves
"made in France", the metal can be "made in China" after a trip.
Figures are uncertain but more than 200 000 women were abused since 1998. Peace has never
been established, armed militia réattaquées in January. Rapes do not start, they never
stopped. Rape is a weapon of war intended to traumatize and do from the people. But new
horror in recent years: very young girls, and babies are raped. Even in zones of peace. If
some certain and explain these facts by the ancient belief that if a man lie with a
virgin, he will be rich, the explanation is more rational. Child soldiers, soldiers,
demobilized militiamen are found in civilian life with insufficient counseling and lived
and exercised violence leads them to commit atrocities. When there are (too rare) arrests,
he (too many) acquittals. Congolese soldiers of the UN forces in CAR have been sent home
after several rapes.
Demolish and to terrorize
Excerpts from an article in Le Monde, July 16, 2013 are eloquent: "It violates the
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Women, girls and babies recently. collectively are
violated in public, to demolish and to terrorize. For days, sometimes for months before
shooting itself in the vaginas or lacerate the blows of razor blades, fill the salt,
burning rubber or caustic soda, to dump the fuel and set it on fire. There are less than
three weeks, a little girl of 18 months he (the surgeon since filmed) was made, the
exploded genitalia. New babies arrived in the state since January (ie between January and
July 2013), 36 children under 10 years. "
If rich countries are concerned about the carbon footprint of travel, which is concerned
the balance sheet in suffering women of our consumer goods?

SOCIAL AND CLASS counterattack
WAR WAR OF THE BOSSES
Under the present conditions are now more apparent than ever that the perpetuation of
bankrupt political and economic system of power means for their bottom misery and death,
while the economic and political elite higher profits and privileges.
The current management continues headlong attack against the society for the purpose of
plundering and the subjugation of a state capital. Reductions to pensions and further
increase the age limits provided for in the bill for the insurance recently adopted, the
release of seizures, the exhausting working hours, the blackmail of unemployment, the
selling off of public wealth in the context of the ongoing capitalist restructuring pro
poverty and inequality, oppression, marginalization and exclusion for more and larger
social pieces. At the same time, the regime shielded institutional and upgrades the
repressive arsenal to address the existent resistance and the imminent social explosions.
The labor ministry is the state apparatus who organizes and imposes the conditions of
exploitation and oppression of workers and applies all those antisocial measures to ensure
social subjugation and ensure the profits and privileges of capital. For this reason it
can only be the target of the oppressed and exploited.
The insurance bill like other measures enacted immediately previous period (VAT increase,
decrease tax free, indirect tax package, Privatization Fund "red loans") and those which
will still voted as part of the most recent agreement of the Greek State with the EU and
the IMF, are another time of the attack against the whole of society by legitimizing the
plunder of the stored wealth of workers, intensifying the exploitation of labor and
shifting the consequences of unemployment from the bosses on the backs of exploited . To
set up embankments against any antisocial measure and to resist further degradation of our
lives. The solution for the workers, the unemployed, youths, locals and immigrants is not
a corporatist and fragmentary struggles -who not expanded and led to defeat as many times
manipulated and trimmed by their bosses and sold out in state and bosses trade union
leaders - not even in a time of change management policy. The only solution for them from
the bottom of this world is the question of duty of the state and the bosses how society
organization, the evacuation of the ideological domination on the "end of history" or a
"capitalism with a human face" and the logical assignment.
The outlet is located in the self-organized and unmediated social and class struggles for
the abolition of exploitation and oppression, for the total subversion of the state and
capitalism. Against the economic and political elites to oppose the class and social
councils to fight for a world of freedom, solidarity and equality.
ONLY IS THE DILEMMA:
EITHER ABSOLUTE submission and misery
OR STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL REVOLUTION
Concentration 11:00 Pl. Korai
outside the busy Annex Ministry of Labour
