Pakistan: Killings in Karachi spark mass workers resistance – forward to
revolution and working class power!
15 May 2007
In Karachi on Saturday 12 May members of the Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM),
part of the ruling coalition in the Sindh provincial government, which
supports the regime of General Pervez Musharraf, launched a vicious armed
assault on the opposition movement. As violent clashes followed, the
military put some 14,000 troops onto Pakistan’s streets operating a
shoot-to-kill policy, which left over 50 people dead and some 150 injured.
On May 14th the opposition responded with a nationwide strike, which
paralysed Pakistan’s main cities. Luke Cooper reports on the
pre-revolutionary situation and argues the working class must be won to the
struggle for power.
