by:(Aden Alhgad) Ayad Al-shaibi- At first how you consider the situation in south Yemen and the
southern movement which call for self determination and how you evaluate the
Norwegian cooperation with this cause especially and the European cooperation in
general?
-- The situation in south Yemen is very bad. I have seen the photos of men and women, and even small children killed by the government forces. In a situation like that it is understandable that people rise up and take to the streets! If were in South Yemen I would have joined you! Unfortunately the government in Norway is doing nothing to support the people of South Yemen. Norway is part of the Western block, and our membership in NATO connects Norways policy to US-policy. As I have learnt, the USA is far more interessted in fighting Al-Qaida than to help the people of Jemen. They support the current President, and Norway follow US. When the US-government is using 60 million dollar on drones to fight terrorism, then no one in the Western block reacts. To tell you the truth; it is silence, complete silence when it comes to this issue! Everything Norways government is interessted in is the Martine-case. To my opinion this is totalt hypocracy! They are interessted in Jemen when it comes to pushing the regime to put the Martine-killer to court, but they don`t do anything regarding the human rights abuses that concerns ordinary people in Yemen.
-Could you tell us about your activities of solidarity with the south Yemeni people?
--I have been in close contact with Ahmed Al-Diani and will help him and the others with the demonstration in Oslo on the 7. of July. I will also write an article about South Yemen that I will send to one of the tabloids here i Norway.
- Could you tell us about your party. The Red party ?
--We are a revolutionary, socialist party. We are the only real anti-imperialistic and anti-war party in Norway, and we have fought for withdrawal of Norways troops from the war in Afghanistan. We were also against the Iraq-war and the bombing of Libya.It is important to fight imperialism and US-led wars around the world, and therefore our party also is against NATO. We want Norway out of the Western war-block. We want real solidarity with people around the world, and not the kind of solidarity that comes through NATOs bombs
- in the end I wanna ask u are you and your party with self determination for people of south Yemen?
--Yes of course we support self determintion for people in south Yemen!
