Fifth Norwegian Soldier Killed in Afghanistan – the Socialist Left Party Has Blood on their Hands

- The only way to guarantee that more Norwegian lives not will be lost in Afghanistan is to stop the Norwegian participation in the predatory war in Afghanistan, Henrik Ormåsen – spokesperson for Serve the People – Communist Leauge – states.

Serve the People condemns the government which is behind the Norwegian participation in the war and wants the soldiers home immediately.

- The Norwegian government, where the «peace party» Socialist Left Party participates, is responsible for the Norwegian war participation and thus also has the responsibility every time a Norwegian soldier is injured or killed, Ormåsen continues.

Taliban is no solution

- Taliban is no solution for the people in Afghanistan. Taliban stands for an ultrareactionary and oppressing politics against women, they want to bring Afghanistan back to the dark ages. We support the Afghan people’s right to throw out the occupiers. But it is obvious that the Afghan people will gather around those who run the resistance against the occupiers. As communists we cannot support the ultra-reactionary, women oppressing and islamist politics of the Taliban, but we support the Afgani people’s right to throw the occupiers out.

The US-imperialist occupation of Afghanistan has up to now cost more than 500.000 people their lives. As long as the occupiers don’t withdraw, there is no reason to believe that ther will not be hundred thousands of victims who will meet a too early death, Ormåsen ends.
