Tunisia’s Workers Party Hails SP for the efforts to free Zambia
By Staff Reporter
The Workers Party of Tunisia has hailed the Socialist Party for its tremendous efforts to free the people of Zambia.
In its solidarity message on the occasion of launching the Socialist Party, the Workers Party of Tunisia Secretary General, Hamma Hammami said the founding of a party of the working class, the peasantry and all the hardworking people in the country was a fundamental and essential moment in the liberation process of the great people of Zambia.
“We strongly support you and appreciate your tremendous efforts to free your people as a step towards the liberation of the peoples of Africa,” he said.
Hammami said his party would have loved to be part of the historic event but circumstances prevented them.
“The circumstances have prevented us from being among you, but make sure that our hearts and minds are with you at the moment when you are laying the foundation stone for a condition of liberating workers and laborers; it is the condition of establishing the party as an instrument of class and political struggle for liberation, emancipation and socialism,” he said.
Hammami said the African continent had manifested the paradox of the capitalist system as described by philosopher Karl Marx.
“On the one hand, it is a continent of plenty and wealth and physical and cultural capabilities, but on the other hand a continent of poverty, misery and famine, and reason is the continuous dominance of parasitic and exploitative classes tightly associated with the world monopoly capital which sees in our countries only a source of looting and banditry,” he said.
Hammami said the only option of bypassing this miserable situation was the broad popular national struggle that must be waged by the people of Africa led by their Socialist and revolutionary parties.
“The role of your party and ours and the rest of the brotherly African parties today is to create this state of struggle and help them to strengthen and be able to build the new Africa, a free and independent Africa, Africa of the peoples, not Africa of the rulers and agents,” he said. “This is a required step towards a world free of exploitation and dispossession, a world of freedom, justice and socialism”.
