New resistance alliance: The Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance

Posted on October 11, 2007 by Sappho

This morn­ing Al-Jazeera reported that Iraqi Islamic resis­tance fac­tions formed a new front called “The Polit­i­cal Coun­cil of the Iraqi Resis­tance”, the state­ment says that the fac­tions who joined the new alliance are:

1– Jihad and Reform Front.

2– Islamic Front for the Iraqi resis­tance (Jama’a).

3– Hamas-Iraq.

The Ara­bic announce­ment can be down­loaded here or here (PDF), the most inter­est­ing part of the announce­ment is point 10 (see below) “the for­ma­tion of a tech­nocrats gov­ern­ment” and not an Islamic gov­ern­ment as peo­ple expected.

Polit­i­cal pro­gram for the new alliance is the following:

1– The occu­pa­tion of Iraq is injus­tice and aggres­sion, not accept­able reli­giously and legally, resist­ing the occu­pa­tion is legit­i­mate by all laws.

2– Armed resis­tance to, is the legit­i­mate rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Iraq, which car­ries a respon­si­bil­ity to lead the Iraqi peo­ple to achieve their hopes.

3– The lib­er­a­tion of Iraq from for­eign occu­pa­tion and influ­ence and achieve full inde­pen­dence, and force the occu­piers com­pen­sate the Iraqi peo­ple for all the moral and mate­r­ial damage.

4– The Mujahideen oper­a­tions tar­get the occu­piers and their agents, the oper­a­tions do not tar­get inno­cent and the vul­ner­a­ble civilians.

5– We refuse any change in the pop­u­la­tion struc­ture of the Iraqi peo­ple, and the sec­tar­ian divi­sions of the peo­ple, and work to defeat the sectarian-ethnic project, and pre­serv­ing the unity of Iraq land and people.

The Kur­dish ques­tion will be con­sid­ered after the liberation.

6– The Return of the dis­placed to their home areas and to be com­pen­sated for their mate­r­ial and moral dam­age and pro­tec­tion for them.

7– No legit­i­macy to any con­sti­tu­tion, gov­ern­ment or law signed under the occupation.

8– The Can­cel­la­tion of all unfair deci­sions and judg­ments and release all pris­on­ers and detainees.

9– Non-recognition of any treaty or agree­ment signed dur­ing the occu­pa­tion, which con­trary to the rights and sov­er­eignty of Iraq.

10– The for­ma­tion of a tech­nocrats gov­ern­ment, man­ages the affairs of the coun­try dur­ing the tran­si­tional stage, this gov­ern­ment has no right to sign any pact or con­tract a related to the fate of Iraq’s sov­er­eignty and wealth.

11– Work on rebuild­ing the state of Iraq on a fair basis, that Iraq will be for all Iraqis, and to estab­lish jus­tice is the main goal, not accept the use of any party or author­ity to achieve eth­nic or sec­tar­ian interests.

12– Iraq is part of the Arab and Islamic nation, and work to estab­lish the Arab Mus­lim iden­tity of Iraq is the first priorities.

13– The main­te­nance of Iraq’s wealth, espe­cially oil and water, which belongs to all Iraqis.

14– Call Arabs, Mus­lims, peo­ples of the world and the inter­na­tional com­mu­nity to do their duty towards the Iraqi peo­ple to achieve the legit­i­mate goals, and estab­lish good rela­tions with the world based on com­mon inter­ests, and deal­ing with the inter­na­tional bod­ies to serves the inter­ests of Iraq and its people.

In con­clu­sion ….This project is not a sub­sti­tute for polit­i­cal Jihadi project, but it is complementary.

    Lady­bird, I reported this nearly two weeks ago on your blog:

    http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/4565633F-9691-44A8-B14E-F3D1F97C6414.htm

    Sev­eral nation­al­ist and Islamist armed groups have formed alliances in Iraq in what they say is a move to thwart a power strug­gle should the US mil­i­tary with­draw and the Iraqi gov­ern­ment collapse.

    This Resis­tance Man­i­festo is an emi­nently sane and just set of aspi­ra­tions for Iraq.

    More­over they are far more com­mit­ted to ulti­mately deliver on them than many of our polit­i­cal par­ties in the so-called demo­c­ra­tic West.

    The weak link in the cur­rent Resis­tance offen­sive comes at the end of this document.It is the ref­er­ence to the jihadist project.This is the point at which the resis­tance leave them­selves extra­or­di­nar­ily prone to infil­tra­tion by the Wahab­bist and Salafi US prox­ies who have,paradoxically,already done so much with their hard­line Islamist ver­sion of Islam to facil­i­tate US dom­i­na­tion in the region.

    By seek­ing to freeze devel­op­ing mus­lim soci­eties in sharia-ruled author­i­tar­i­an­ism
    with its inher­ent siege men­tal­ity they play directly into the glob­al­ist project of West­ern elites.The “arc of cri­sis” and lim­its to growth strat­egy of these elites seeks to restrict the ben­e­fits of mod­erni­sa­tion to the West and deny them to mus­lim countries.

    The envi­ron­men­tal­ism espoused by these elites is a cover for deny­ing these states,like Iran for example,the nuclear energy that would enhance their pres­tige and nego­ti­at­ing power with the pow­er­ful West­ern states,and chal­lenge the hege­mony of West­ern oil com­pa­nies by rais­ing the price of and restrict­ing access to oil.

    At the point when the US occu­piers have been dri­ven out of Iraq and the resis­tance sur­veys the dam­aged soci­ety it has fallen to them to rebuild they would do well to ask them­selves just how much they can achieve by con­tin­u­ing a jihad that was used so adeptly by the country’s ene­mies in order to destroy it.

    Lady­bird, the idea of a tran­si­tional gov­ern­ment of so-called TECHNOCRATS has long been ped­dled by the false friends of the Iraqi Resis­tance — those who are in real­ity agents and stalk­ing horses for the US, its Arab clients and other for­eign powers!!!

    My guess is that any so-called TECHNOCRATIC gov­ern­ment would be headed by none other than that exe­crable old CIA agent AYAD ALLAWI.

    With­out a tran­si­tional NATIONAL FRONT gov­ern­ment of bona fide patri­ots with a proven track record of oppos­ing the neo-coloniaol occu­pa­tion, none of the other sub­stan­tial demands of the Iraqi Resis­tance will ever be realised!!!
