Dear Comrades In Union of Progressive Youth in Egypt

We followed the demonstrations of the brave Egyptian people and youth in the city of Mahalla and different parts of Egypt during the last week.

It is an important movement for the economic rights of the people against a government only caring for the interests of the big capitalists and feudalists in your country.

The brutal practices of the central security forces reflect the political decision to fight against any request for reform or change on the political and economic level in Egypt.

We express our deep solidarity with your right struggles and condemn the practices of the Egyptian government and its security forces against the civilian innocent people demanding their rights.

The will of the people shall prevail, and you struggles with the progressive, democratic, and patriotic forces will lead to big developments and changes in the situation of the Egyptian youth and people.

The capitalist policies of the new world order, the neo liberal policies are leading to more poverty and misery as it is apparent in Egypt, and only our common struggles around the globe will stop its aggression.

With all support for your struggles!
