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

The World Federation of Democratic Youth and the whole progressive youth of the world has received with much happiness the historical triumph of the Farabundo Martí Front for Freedom (FMLN) and its candidate comrade Mauricio Funes with 51,3% of the votes, in El Salvador, which represents a victory of all those who have struggled guided by its historical leader Schafik Handal, to build a better future for its people.

The historical struggle conducted by the forces that created the Front, which name is inspired in one of the organizers of the indigenous and farmers’ insurrection in 1932 (Augustín Farabundo Martí), who died murdered, represents a decision to struggle for the poor and the indigenous in a country with big inequalities, arriving to a second stage of struggle after the agreements of peace signed in Chapultepec, relevant moment for the FMLN to become a legal political party and continue its struggle to achieve the now conquered victory.

WFDY expresses its greetings, particularly to the youth and to all members of FMLN, reaffirming its total support to the new government and calls upon all its member and friend organizations as well as to all young progressive people of the world to celebrate this important victory, that represents a victory of those who struggle to build a better world, that is a fair praise of the comrade Schafic Handl, who will be always conducting the struggles of its people.

It is well known that in these days the people of El Salvador is getting ready to participate in the general elections, in which the polls predict that the Front will win, which would mean a possible and awaited victory for all Latin America and for the whole world. A victory of a people that deserves to have the necessary change and fulfill its dream of full freedom and elimination of poverty and inequalities.

WFDY reaffirms its full support to the candidate of the FMLN Mauricio Funes, as well as to the Youth of the Front and calls upon all its member and friend organizations, as well as to all to all young progressive young people of the world to express its full solidarity and support towards the comrades of El Salvador, confident that on the next March 15 a victory is possible, as best recall of the dear and eternal guide, Schafik Handal.
