WAR IS EVERYWHERE

The ongoing war in Ukraine between the Russian Federation and NATO is not a local conflict, but part of a global clash for the partitioning of the world that threatens to erupt elsewhere every day (Africa, Serbia, Azerbaijan, Armenia…). Having become a veritable meat grinder, with hundreds of thousands of deaths among forcibly conscripted soldiers and civilians, the conflict in Ukraine is already having an impact on African populations forced to emigrate due to the rising cost of cereals and the ensuing escalation in local clashes. After letting more than a hundred people drown in Cutro, the Italian government prepares its iron fist against migrants and immigrants (opening of new concentration camps in every Region, administrative detention even for asylum seekers), while boosting its Italian imperialism with the “Mattei plan for Africa”.

THE WAR IS ALSO HERE

A society at war can only be a secured and militarized society.

Between permanent States of Emergency and supposedly green transitions, smart city projects are preparing the transformation of cities into real digital prisons, flanking the already ubiquitous police and military with the installation of facial recognition cameras (as in the case of the “new ZTL” in Rome and Milan), sensors that monitor cellular traffic, smart control booths (as in Venice) and even microphones (as in Trento).

Between closures of newspapers and sites in the anarchist milieu and arrests of antagonists, trade unionists, and anarchists, the anarchist Alfredo Cospito is still locked up in the 41bis war prison, where he is expected to remain for years unless the Rome Surveillance Court (which will be again called upon to decide on October 19) orders otherwise.

Between increasingly secured borders and selective welcoming, the war is once again threatening even Ukrainian refugees, yesterday welcomed by Kiev’s allies with interested “solidarity” and today claimed by the Ukrainian State as cannon fodder. The Polish government says it is ready to repatriate “its” 13,000 Ukrainians, while the German State refuses – for the time being – to hand over “its” 120,000.

What will the filthy Italian government do – despite it is called “its best ally” by the puppet in charge in Kiev!? And what will we be able to do if they come and get these de facto renegades?

LET’S TAKE TO THE STREETS

Against sending weapons to Ukraine and any collaboration with the war

Against our imperialism, Italian imperialism and NATO imperialism

Against the society of police, military and technological control

Against the war prison: Alfredo out of 41bis!

In solidarity with all migrants, runaways, refugees, defectors

Oct. 19: Everyone in Rome for Alfredo’s audition.

Solidarity gathering in front of the Triboniano Street courthouse from 9 a.m. Alfredo out of 41bis!
