Say No to Busharaf, Say No to Negroponte
President George Bush has named British born deputy secretary of State John Dimitri Negroponte, the so-called "tought cold warrior" under the Regan era. Negroponte, from 1981-1996 served as ambassador to Hunduras, Mexico and the Phillipines. During his tenure in the Honduras military aid jumped from $4 million to $77.4 million as the Reagan regime prosecuted a muredrous war against the Nicaraguan people and the revolutionary Sandanista government that overthrew the brutal Somoza government. With the blood of 300,000 people on his hand from Central America, Negroponte is now slated to become the executioner of civil liberties in Pakistan,a country of 160 million--in collusion with the dictator Pervez Musharraf.
The Pakistani people will not be fooled by the manipulations of the Bush administration and their hatchet man. The Pakistani people are politically conscious and know what is happening in the world. Even now as Benazir Bhutto, the allegedly corrupt billionaire populist who was a two-time Prime Minister, alligns with the west, the Pakistani people are aware and have rejected her posturing. The people of Pakistan understand the role of the Choudhries from Punjab (PML(Q)) and the Choudhries from Karachi (MQM). For seven years both have supported Musharraf and continue to do so today, even after martial law has been imposed--which has brought with it mass arrests, beatings, murder and the silencing of any and all dissent.
Ambassador Negroponte will not bring any conscience to Musharraf, in fact he is there to strengthen the hand of the dictator. Pakistan is at a crucial point in its history. The oppressive forces are on the defensive and their benfactors in the U.S., represented by Amb. Negroponte care not for Democracy but in strengthening a corrupt and brutal dictator for their own imperialist interests of securing greater profit by dominating the rest of the world. What happened in Honduras will not be repeated in Pakistan. We ask of the people of the United States to stand with us and our fight for freedom and democratic rights.
Pakistan USA Freedom Forum calls on all Pakistanis to protest against the Washington administration that is patronizing the dictatorship. We should make Amb. Negroponte know that he is not welcomed to meet with any officials, be they in the Army or politicians or even step on our soil.
Pakistan USA Freedom Forum asks of the people to demand that:
1.) General Musharraf and his entire set should immediately lift martial law, resign and reinstate the 50 sacked justices, including Cheif Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chudary, who should then appoint a neutral caretaker government which chouls hold elections in January 2008,
2.) The elections would be considered bereft of any legitimacy if the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is not allowed to participate,
3.) All members of the heroic lawyers community, human rights workers, students, journalists, laborers, farmers and political activists must immediately be released.
For all self-exiled Pakistani political leaders, now is the time to return and fight for democratic rights for all of Pakistan. PUFF assures the world the Pakistani people will overcome and will make Musharraf the last dictator and will join in solidarity with the people of the world as we build a country on the basics of freedom and democratic rights for all. We stand in unison with the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Columbia and all the oppressed of the world fighting for an end to exploitation. Thanks to Pakistanis abroad and all those who have assisted the the struggle of the Pakistani people.
