". We stand with respect before the pain for the thousands of dead, missing and homeless. The unprecedented solidarity confirms that the brotherhood of nations can raise a tsunami of humanitarianism, sweeping away the hypocrisy of governments and organisations. The fury of the earthquake highlighted the insensitivity of the capitalism sweeping the area. The disaster mainly hit the grass-roots classes. The predatory interventions in the environment by large companies looking for excessive profits are largely to blame for turning natural disasters into humanitarian disasters. Capitalism is preparing to re-build the interests of the multinationals on top of the graves, to turn the human tragedy into contracts and stock exchange indicators, to turn any 'humanitarian aid' into interventions by the imperialist centres. A newspaper in the United States terrifyingly wrote that the rich nations are providing the aid and they will dictate the terms. This means funding for projects with a depressing economic philosophy so that the multinationals can reap the benefits of 'reconstruction', ignoring the needs of the people. The money raised as a result of grass-roots solidarity must not be embezzled. The peoples who ran to help must not allow it. The creation of a trustworthy observatory to implement and strictly control reconstruction programmes for the benefit of the peoples, the writing-off of the debts of these countries and the provision without cutbacks of the aid programmed for other third countries are just some of the measures for relieving the victims."@en1
