Cancel the Aggressive U.S. War Exercises! U.S. Troops Must Be Withdrawn!
Coordinating Committee of Friends of Korea (Britain)
The Coordinating Committee of Friends of Korea (Britain) on March 4, 2009, issued the following statement:
We protest very strongly the decision of the U.S. and south Korean authorities to stage the Foal Eagle and Key Resolve exercises in south Korea from March 3 to March 20.
These exercises are being held at a time when tension on the Korean peninsula has increased owing to the anti-reunification moves of the [south Korean] Lee Myung Bak puppet clique. Also, they are being held at a time when the U.S. imperialists and some others have become hysterical about the prospective satellite launch of the DPRK and have gone so far as to talk about pre-emptive strikes. We believe that it is very dangerous and irresponsible to hold such exercises at this time as they could easily turn into a real war.
These exercises are aimed at intimidating the DPRK and stop it from fully exercising its sovereign rights, as well as to stifle its socialist system by force of arms.
It is the inviolable sovereign right of the DPRK to conduct space research and to launch satellites for this purpose. No one should interfere in this. Moreover the development of space technology by the DPRK, which has been subjected to more than 50 years of sanctions and blockades by the U.S. and Western powers, is a great achievement.
We applaud this achievement, which is the proud fruit of the socialist independent national economy and self-reliance.
We demand that the Foal Eagle and Key Resolve exercises be cancelled forthwith and that the U.S. troops be withdrawn from south Korea.
We express our full solidarity with the DPRK at this time.
