May Day and worker in Afghanistan


This year the celebration of May 1st accompanied with a bad news for workers in Afghanistan. Hundreds of poor villagers in the north of Afghanistan lost their lives in floods and tens of mine works died in an explosion in a coal mine in Samangan province a day before May.
More than 200 poor villagers died and tens of thousands other lost their homes and properties during the last week of April, more than 16 workers died on 30 April. But, the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs even did not issue a condolence message to the victims’ families and the government did not announce a national mourn on this human tragedy. The government and the candidates of presidential elections are busy with elections results and potential dealing and bargaining to seize power for exploitation of workers and the oppressed and serve to their imperialist maters. There is no attention to the lives of poor people and workers in vulnerable areas and dangerous working places by the puppet regime and bosses.
Left Radical of Afghanistan (LRA) expresses its deep sympathy with victim families and wish immediate recovery for injured workers.
LRA along with other progressive forces and workers unions will support the campaign for helping the harmed families of workers and poor villagers. LRA does not expect the puppet regime of Kazai and its imperialist supporters to allocate the large amount of money for the interest of the deprived masses. It is the task of workers and the oppressed to stand for their rights and struggle against the warmonger and unfair policies of imperialism and its child regime in Afghanistan.
LRA, call on workers for their unity and class consciousness to be able to independently defend their gains. The coming government as a result of fraudulent election on April 5th 2014 will not be a legitimate government because of mass boycott and intervention of US/Nato and full corruption of local authorities. The figures of the elections participants that the government shows to the media are a lie for deceiving the people. Most of the April 2014 presidential elections candidates in Afghanistan are warlords and war criminals who must be given heavy penalty not letting play on the fate of people for their dirty interests.
