>The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] today joins the
>international community in celebrating the International Children day.
>As we do so we pledge to take issues that affect children in our
>country and the world with special interest in eradicating poverty and
>providing socio-economic support to child-headed families in rural and
>semi rural areas. We further pledge to popularise this Day (1 June) as
>part our international program to support all communist orientated
>initiatives since the commemoration of this Day was initiated and
>restricted to communist countries since 1925.
>
> While commending the recognition of this Day by neoliberal
>international groups in the form of G8 and others we would like to
>dispel the hypocrisy that they display in the world arena given their
>lack of practical commitment in eradicating poverty in Africa.
>
>We dispel their inconsistent position on the role and unilateral
>arrogance demonstrated by the United States of America on issues of
>global warming and causes of climate change due to its protection of
>industries whose emissions affect the environment. It is our view
>that this Day in itself reveals the significance of the role that the
>children of this generation will play in building a better world.
>Henceforth, we must heighten our struggle against capitalist
>industrialisation which prioritises super-profits at the peril of our
>environment for future generations.
