As it was expected to occur according to various Saharawi human rights activists and residents of the camp, Moroccan authorities had, early this morning, sent troops and police to forcible dismantle the Gdaim Izik camp, where more than 25,000 Sahrawi have set up tents to claim their human rights in the Western Sahara and the respect of their right to self-determination.The brutal intervention in the camp started at 06:00 AM local time this Monday, November 08th, 2010 and Moroccan military forces have been arriving in the area since yesterday to dismantle the camp. The military forces, gendarmerie and auxiliary forces are accompanied by helicopters flying over the area and launching flares that explode in the air to create panic among the residents as well as tear gas.

According to the latest reports, at least one Saharawi civilian has been killed and hundreds injured in the clashes as a result of the military and police brutal intervention. Several media sources have quoted witnesses as stating that Moroccan security forces targeted women, children and elderly people.

On October 30th, 2010 WFDY Comrade Tiago Vieira, President was Comrade Tiago was denied entry to assess the situation in the protest camp near El Aaiun in the occupied territories of Western Sahara. Equally several journalists, three Spanish regional MP’s and Izquierda Unida MEP Willy Meyers were all detained at the Morocco frontier over the weekend as they tried to visit the camp to witness first-hand the reality on the ground and were forcibly returned to Spain. Morocco has refused to allow international journalists or independent observers access to the camp in El Aaiun.

To prevent an escalation of this potentially tragic situation, WFDY calls upon the international community and all its member and friend organizations to exercise pressure on the Moroccan Kingdom to stop its military offensive against Saharawi civilians, lift the military blockade imposed on El Aaiun and the rest of the Saharawi cities and to allow full access to media, NGOs and international observers into the territory.

We also call upon the UN and the international organizations to urgently intervene to protect the defenceless civilians from the hatred and xenophobic acts committed against them by the Moroccan settlers and the security apparatus. Moroccan veto to the press and the international observers to avoid witnesses to its intervention illustrates the need to integrate Human Rights Monitoring to the MINURSO mandate.

It was 65 years ago, on November 10th, 1945; when the progressive and anti-facist youth around the world got gathered in London, during the World Youth Conference, called by the World Youth Council. It was founded during the war against facism by the youth of all the allied countries and gathered for the first time in the history of the international youth movement, more than 30 millions of young pepople from diferent political and religious tendences from more than 63 nations, in thisConference was founded the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY).The World Federation is today more than ever, the organization of the united youth, working for peace, freedom, democracy, independence and equality all over the world and consider its work as a contribution to the United Nations, as the certain way to facilitate the happiness and walfare of the future generations and to protect the rights and interests of the youth.

After 65 years of founding WFDY the world still face many inequalities and is marked by a structural crisis of the capitalist system, the unequal distribution of the resources, the constant wars to control the natural resources, the increasing of poverty, the prompting to a pitiless consumerism and the destruction of the environment to satisfy the richest people, that continues affecting specially the young people, women and children, and even endangering the survival of the human being.

The progressive youth around the world that is preparing the XVII World Festival of the Youth and Students that is going to be celebrated on December in South Africa, and is devoted to Nelson Mandela and Fidel Castro, examples of struggle for the young people, is conscious that the imperialist economical order has to change, that the struggle to defeat the imperialism is the only alternative to survive. We want to live in a world in peace, fraternity, solidarity and many social transformations, in favour of the human being, without starvation, poverty, wars and with the plenty access to education, health a healthful environment, in a world where the friendship, solidarity and the mutual understanding coexist.

The World Federation of Democratic Youth reaffirms its total solidarity with all the struggles, revolutions and the historical leaders that have inspire us to keep struggling against imperialism, during many years, without their contribution, it wouldn’t be possible for us to have come to this point. We reaffirm that in the new fighting sceneries, we will be consequents with their example, with what we learnt from them and we are going to work for the new generations to learn all the experience of the accumulated struggles during all these years.
WFDY reaffirms its compromise to keep working to strengthen the cooperation among all the international, regional and national youth organizations around the world as the main issue to contribute to the strengthening of the action unity and international solidarity, of all the anti imperialist, progressive and democratic forces to satisfy the interests of the young people, the conditions, interests and the need for the youth to overcome all differences and together face the common problems.

The World Federation of Democratic Youth send a sincere congratulation to those that have contributed to keep overhead the historical struggles of the international and progressive youth movement, endorsing that future belongs entirely to the youth if we are consequents with the historical legacy of the previous generations and convokes to all the member and friends organizations and also all the progressive youth around the world to celebrate on November 10th, the 65 anniversary of the organization with a great international struggling day to defeat imperialism for a world of peace, solidarity and social transformation!

On behalf of member and friendly organisations and indeed on our own behalf, the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY), would like to congratulate Chama Cha Mapinduzi on their victory on the recently held elections in Tanzania.The victory is a clear message to imperialists who tend to sway away the historical voting trends of the peace loving people of Tanzania who voted peacefully and the Western imperialists who created puppets that will never succeed in their quest to swipe out all revolutionary organisations from the political map in Africa. As a revolutionary organisation, the World Federation of Democratic Youth will always stand side by side, back to back with all progressive youth and student organisations, especially those who are at the verge of being sent to the dustbins of history by the so called champions of democracy or by those nations which are militarily powerful.

As a pillar of all revolutionary organisations in Africa ( Chama Cha Mapinduzi) still enjoy high command of respect from across the world hence this victory is not only for the citizens of Tanzania but its also for all progressive and peace loving people of the world.

We therefore urge all revolutionary organisations in Africa to continue meeting and exchanging notes on how they can revitalize their ever-glooming characters with glory for the sustainable development of their nations.

Given this victory and joy which has come to our member organisation, we lastly encourage all states in Africa to attend the forthcoming 17th World Festival of Youth and Students to take place in South Africa in December and we also encourage mostly the youth and students from revolutionary parties to send a big delegation a have a platform to share and exchange ideas for a world of solidarity and peace which will lead us to defeat imperialism.

Once again we congratulate, the people and youth of the republic of Tanzania for voting in peace and holding their elections on time according to their constitution
