ALBA REPRESENTATIVES TRAVEL TO DAMASCUS TO SUPPORT SYRIA

NNN-AVN | October 9, 2011

CARACAS — The Political Council of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) will meet on Sunday Oct. 09 with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus to express their rejection of attempts at invasion and political destabilization on that country on behalf of the United States and its allies.

Delegations from Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Bolivia will put their political experience and will at the disposal of the Syrian people. Also their support in the pursuit of political stability in the Middle East country, detailed Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro after a meeting held with Venezuelan ambassadors to Europe in Geneva, Switzerland.

“We will reject all ways of interventionism on behalf of the empire, which seeks to use the Libya model to go to a violent process to change regimes,” said the diplomat, who would travel to Damascus, Syria, from Geneva, where he submitted Venezuela”s Universal Periodic Review report at the UN Human Rights Council.

Besides Maduro, at Sunday’s meeting the attendance of Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez is also expected, as well as Sub-Secretary for North America and Europe of Ecuador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Pablo Villagomez, Nicaraguan Ambassador to the United Nations, Maria Rubiales, and Bolivia’s Communication Minister Ivan Canelas.

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has been denouncing for months that his country is a victim of violence on behalf of terrorist groups armed from abroad.

In this connection, Syria’s Army and armed opposing groups remain in confrontation in different areas of the Nation. This has resulted in more than two thousand deaths, both civilian and security forces officers.

Foreign Minister Maduro stated that “fascist trends on the United States are reappearing,” concerning the statements of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who affirmed that he will attack “the evil socialism of Cuba and Venezuela.”

“These are fascist trends existing in the United States we had been talking about. They are tied to the right-wing sector in Venezuela.”

The Venezuelan diplomat said that the North American country has evidenced “absolute madness” given the statements of some representatives of that country, who said that “God created America to lead the world.”

“Those created by God to be free are the peoples of the world,” the Venezuelan Foreign Minister said.

In response to Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Jose Miguel Insulza, who requested Venezuela to abide by the sentence of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), over a former mayor who was disqualified in the country for deviation of public resources, Maduro said Insulza should “mind his own business.”

The IACHR ruled that Venezuela should lift the ban imposed on the former mayor, but Maduro explained that “the case is in Venezuela”s jurisdiction. The Court”s decision is in hands of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice and only they may determine the legality of any decision.”

“We have to fight the media and psychological war (…) manipulation and lies spread through media outlets, which seek to impose a situation of civil war and continued violence in Syria,” reported a press release from the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry.

  2. Perhaps I am stupid… but as far as I can see and value the situation in Syria, it is the President of Syria, mr. Assad, who is opposing the will of the People….. The People of Syria want freedom, equality, a normal life and peace, but above all an end to the dictatorial government of and by mr. Assad!
    Were I am opposing interference by any foreign institution, be it government or organization, I feel that the USA should stay out of the fight of the Syrian people, as should the ALBA in my opinion!

    Showing support for a regime, and a dictator or the leader of that regime, that is suppressing and oppressing the rights of the People is, in my probably not so humble opinion, not only stupid but moreover showing fanatism and fanatic idiocy!

    Were the ALBA seems to be a socialist movement, it is inconceivable to me to understand that socialists support an oppressive regime, that murders its own people, its own citizens!

    What IS the purpose of ALBA?
    To support the People, to support the People to develop freedom, peace and stability. or to support dictators, regimes and organizations that oppress the people, prevent freedom of and by the People, and that take away the rights of the People to determine their own faith and goals?

    IF the first is the purpose of ALBA, then I am of the opinion that ALBA is cooperating with dictators, supporting regimes that murder its own citizens, and then ALBA should be considered to be be put on the same list as Al Quaida and the Taliban…

    Just my opinion!

    • masteradrian,

      I think that in the absence of the campaigns of regime change agitation ALBA would be taking a different approach.

      One must remember when excusing actions of international aggression that it is the US that is one of the world’s biggest “killers of its own people” as well as the nation that is at war in six nations at the moment and has committed aggression against well over fifty nations in the past century.

      I suggest viewing The Revolution Business:

    • Western destabilization campaign? It seems its the will of the Arab people that is being felt now all over that part of the world. This hardly works in the Western Interest. The West though is not monolithic and they know they will look bad if they support Assad and the other dictators in the Arab world against public sentiment for reform.

  5. We can take a position against the global system driven by corporate capitalism while still advocating a market based approach to change. The key to this is empowering people to make better decisions in relation to their lives and reducing their reliance on the modern corporate/nation-state system. Assad and the people from Latin America are hardly any better… By associating and supporting with those who would look the other way to brutality of Assad and Gadafy you hardly offer a real alternative to the wrongness if the world.

    • How about not being taken in by the endless stream of war-mongering lies?

      Every state will use force to restore order. If our position were to support each and every uprising we would be committed anarchists.

      I am no great fan of state power, however it is clear here that these events are being fomented and that the Western imperial powers are selectively claiming the “responsibility” to “protect” when it serves their pre-set agenda.
