Argentina: the MST demands that the government break relations with the Taliban and not join the US

This Monday 23 to 11, the MST in the FIT Unit, section in Argentina of the International Socialist League, moved to the Foreign Ministry, where they delivered a note to demand that the government not recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan and break relations with that country. Alejandro Bodart and Cele Fierro led the protest, where women predominated in defense of their Afghan peers.

Bodart stated: “It is evident that two decades of US domination have deepened the problems and have not guaranteed any basic rights in Afghanistan.. The Taliban coup and its new government only mean the replacement of one oppressor with another. The Taliban government must be isolated, reject all foreign intervention and defend the democratic right of the Afghan people to decide their own destiny. In this sense, we support the resistance of the workers and women that exists in the country and we call for the broadest international unity so that it can triumph against obscurantism and imperialist interventions.”.

Cele Fierro added: “Just as the Yankee soldiers committed abuses and sexual exploitation against the women and girls, the whole world knows that the Taliban are the most horrifying obscurantism. We do not trust any 'moderation' of those anti-rights religious fanatics, but only in the resistance of women and the Afghan people, together with international solidarity”.
