Solidarity with Egyptian Uprising!
Tuesday 5.30 - 6.30pm at the BBC on Oxford Rd. Manchester.
Egypt has been a cornerstone of the US "war on terror" and America's strategy for dominating the Middle East. Not for nothing is Egypt second only to Israel in the amount of US aid it receives, including $1.3 billion a year for the security forces alone--the same forces who have killed dozens of protesters in the last few days and injured thousands more.
President Mubarak has made Egypt a US client state for decades. If his tyranny is overthrown the implications are momentous. Around the world solidarity rallies are being held. The Egyptian rising, inspired by the movement in Tunisia, is shaking the world.
Manchester Stop the War calls on all those who support the uprising of the Egyptian people will hold a Solidarity Rally to support those fighting for democracy and against war.
