The ILTT condemns the military coup of October 25, 2021 and we support the mass actions and general strike bringing the masses into the streets against the coup. The dissolution of the trade unions is the chief indicator of the class allegiance of the coupists. We call on the international labor movement to support the masses in their general strike to defeat the coup. The call for an October 30 \u201cmarch of millions\u201d must be propelled into an indefinite general strike in order to win. Sudanese labor needs militant leadership that will not accept military dictatorship, today, tomorrow or ever. We note the Junta has no different foreign policy from the unelected Hamdok regime and supports the regional war projects of the Saudi monarchy. The Sudanese masses gain nothing and lose much from these wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hamdok government did not defend the rights of the masses and their policies were not defensible, they did not sustain or advance the mass democracy that emerged in the general strike of 2019 that brought them to power. Their erstwhile main prop has overthrown them and instituted a policy that recalls the Greek colonels of the \u201860s and hopefully not the Pinochets. Unlike some of our opponents who fetishized bourgeois democracy and see it where it does not exist, we do not call for the reinstatement of the Hamdok government which has made its peace with the IMF, Zionism and has subordinated the country to China. China is its major trading partner in the whipsawing cold war between US and Chinese imperialism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamdok\u2019s primacy was as the facilitator of a civil\/military ruling class consensus that a two year transition from military rule to democracy is warranted. International Capital likes to foster two-year plans for the institutional bourgeois democracy. It seems to be the formula they habitually employ to excuse military coups. We call on the workers and farmers to immediately establish their own democracy with their own self-organized mass organs tailored to solving social needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To defeat the coupists and establish democracy, a general strike with the goal of reinstating Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok misleads the masses into a blind alley. To win the masses need to abandon the popular front and build a working class united front that establishes the workers government. The bourgeois regime is not capable of either establishing democracy or resolving the economic crisis.To resolve the crisis a revolutionary workers leadership must lead the masses to power. To win the general strike must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
