• Fighters boycotted the next NDC protest
• The march for justice demonstration ends on July 6
• EFL explained that the NDC should also be blamed for the country’s woes
The Economic Fighters League has boycotted the next Democratic National Congress March for Justice protest, scheduled for Tuesday, July 6, 2021.
In a statement from the group spotted by GhanaWeb, the group named NDC as part of the country’s problems, and besides, they could not join in their protest, adding that the “system is flawed”.
“The point is, the rotten system that oppresses us right now is not supported by the NPP alone. The NDC is an equal partner in creating and sustaining the anti-people establishment that oppresses us. Once we understand this fact, we can see why the system can deny us our #FixTheCountry protest and allow the NDC to work.
“The rotten system is not afraid of the NDC. You cannot fear what is yourself, ”some parts of the statement read.
The declaration which was signed by the general fighter of the League of Economic Fighters, Hardi Yakubu, members and supporters of the group were invited to prepare for the next #FixTheCountry protest which is scheduled for Wednesday, August 4, 2021.
Below is Fighters’ full statement:
ON THE NEXT NDC EVENT
Many have asked us for our position on recent developments surrounding the upcoming NDC “March for Justice” which will take place on Tuesday, June 6, 2021.
The Economic Fighters League has always defended and will always defend the right of the people to demonstrate, to claim public space and to legally exercise their constitutional right to demonstrate. This is something we have been highlighting in recent months, especially after the June 2020 incident where security forces disrupted a legal rally, arresting our Commander-in-Chief and firing live ammunition at the crowd demanding his release.
However, we cannot fail to comment on recent events without raising what many know but may not feel free to comment on given the harsh environment we find ourselves in now.
The point is, the rotten system that currently oppresses us is not supported by the NPP alone. The NDC is an equal partner in creating and sustaining the anti-popular establishment that oppresses us. Once we understand this fact, we can see why the system can deny us our #FixTheCountry protest and allow the NDC to work.
The rotten system is not afraid of the NDC. You cannot fear what is on your own.
This is what guided our # NoVote2020 campaign in the 2020 general election where we called on people to boycott the election and reject the system. The system is afraid when you approach issues on a personal level as a citizen, not when one of its own partners seeks to speak out.
So why would the system be so obvious in its bias? By allowing the March NDC, the establishment is deliberately subduing and dismantling your power as citizens, further tying your hands to the rotten system where you continue to be denied your basic rights and needs.
It was this understanding that guided our decision not to participate in the NDC protest. While we won’t blame anyone for participating, it is our responsibility to tell you the truth in the hope that you will use your head.
We’ll see you all at the next #FixTheCountry event on Wednesday August 4, 2021.
Revolutionary greetings,
Boldi Yakubu
Combatant-general
The League of Economic Fighters
