Message of condolence to the FARC-EP
To the General
Staff and Secretariat of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia-
People’s Army (FARC-EP)
Dear comrades,
We express our
deep condolences and solidarity concerning the death of the commander-in
chief of FARC-EP comrade Alfonso Cano who fell fighting the government
army which is supported by American imperialism. Cde Alfonso Cano takes
an honoured place amongst the thousands of partisans, trade unionists,
political leaders, workers, farmers and young people who have given
their lives in recent years for a new Colombia.
The goals of this
struggle cannot be overshadowed by any loss, by any attempts to slander
it. The abolition of oppression and exploitation are a historical necessity.
They cannot be overthrown by the intensifying imperialist aggressiveness
in Latin America, or the increasing cooperation between the bourgeois
states of the region for the suppression of the people’s movements.
The KKE is in
solidarity with the struggle which FARC-EP is waging and in general
with the struggle of the people’s movement in Colombia for social
justice. We support the struggle for the war zones to be recognized
and for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army
(FARC-EP) to be immediately removed from the EU list of terrorist organizations
and for the humanitarian exchange of prisoners to proceed.
We ask you to
convey to all the comrades and fighters of FARC-EP our sincere condolences
and comradely greetings.
International
Relations Section of the KKE
