US troops raid IFC head office in Baghdad

On September 7 and 8, U.S. troops raided the IFC head office in Baghdad. The raid came after a series of IFC civil activities against the occupation. The troops were outraged when they saw the anti-occupation banners and posters showing international solidarity with Iraqi people hanging on the walls. They reacted violently and broke all internal doors, destroyed furniture, and confiscated most of the office property.

This cruel act is not a surprise to anyone familiar with U.S. administration policy which is to eliminate its opponents by all means. These kinds of acts reveal the true face of the occupation and its hypocrisy about freedom and democracy they brought to the Iraqi people.  These acts actually demonstrate the fact that the complete destruction of Iraq and daily genocide are the implication of this brutal policy and it can be achieved only by breaking the people will who are eager for freedom. 

As the U.S.-led occupation unleashed the sectarian gangs to take control of the society, it attempts to tighten its grip around the libertarian forces who oppose its projects and presence in Iraq. It turns a blind eyes to the daily killing of civilians in broad daylight and the sectarian cleansing that is conducted by groups whom it supports and uses the Iraqi wealth to oppress Iraqis. 

The occupation along with its puppet government in Iraq has failed miserably to bring security and basic civil services to Iraq. These vicious acts are the normal reaction to these failures. 

As Iraq Freedom Congress condemns those kinds of acts, it declares that it will continue the pace to struggle to end the occupation. There will be no security and stability without ending the occupation.
