The Statement issued by the Secretariat of the World Federation of Trade Unions (WFTU) is given below:
WORLD FEDERATION OF TRADE UNIONS
HM 07.04.2017 Athens, Greece – 7 April 2017
“The USA role and the bombings in Syria
“It is known all over the world that the USA, the European Union, Turkey and
the Gulf monarchies have founded, financed and armed the ISIS. Their goal
was dismembering Syria and founding new puppet states in order to steal the
region’s wealth. Today, with the USA bombings against Syria, the government of Trump
continues the policy of the previous Presidents. Through these bombings, it
supports the ISIS. It makes the situation even more dangerous for a
generalized war. The class-oriented trade union movement demands: – The foreign troops to leave the Region
– To stop the imperialist intervention against Syria and the whole Middle East – The wealth-producing resources of Syria belong to its people. – The peoples of the Region are the only ones who have the right to decide freely and democratically on their present and future. – to stop chemical weapons use by everybody”

I agree with WFTU. But any reason why WFTU chose to remain silent on the Chemical attack by Syrian Government on its own people. Is it because it is an internal matter of Syria? Kindly clarify Sir
Dear Comrade, WFTU have always opposed the chemical warfare, which is inhuman. In this case, there is still doubt whether it was a chemical attack by Syria against the ISIS, or whether it was an explosion of chemicals kept with the ISIS. This is similar to the case of US attack on Iraq in 2003, where the former justified the attack on the basis of an allegation that Iraq was keeping weapons of mass destruction. But later US itself told no such weapons were found. The chemical issue can be an excuse for the present attack on Syria.
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you Sir. The US never attacked ISIS directly, despite their atrocities. And now suddenly the same US attack Syrian Government forces without providing proof for chemical attack.
