Congratulatory Greetings of the Communist Party of the Philippines
to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)

The Communist Party of the Philippines extends its most militant greetings of solidarity to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on the 10th anniversary of the launching of people’s war in Nepal. We congratulate you and the revolutionary Nepali people for the brilliant victories that you have achieved in the past ten years of waging people’s war. We take this occasion to honor the revolutionary martyrs who have given up their lives for the glorious cause of national democracy, socialism and communism.

Creatively applying the universal theory of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism in the concrete conditions of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, the CPN (M) under the able leadership of Comrade Prachanda has led the Nepali masses in advancing the people’s war wave upon wave. You have successfully created revolutionary bases in the countryside, built a strong people’s army mainly from the peasant masses who are the main force in the new democratic revolution and dealt heavy blows on the reactionary armed forces. The wide countryside has now become the impregnable bastion of the revolution and only the big urban centers remain in the hands of the reactionaries.

Greatly alarmed by the growing strength of the people’s war, the ultra-reactionary King Gyanendra launched a coup d’état in February 2005 in a desperate attempt to stop the further advance of the people’s war. This has led to a greater polarization of society. In this new situation, the CPN (M) has creatively applied united front tactics to win over the seven main parliamentary parties to the platform of democracy to isolate the ultra-reactionary Gyanendra clique. Gyanendra’s scheme to use municipal elections to shore up support for his tottering regime has failed. The main parliamentary parties have boycotted the elections and the broad masses have stayed away from the polls in response to the call of the CPN (M) and the parliamentary parties to reject the sham elections.

The victories of the people’s war in Nepal serve as shining inspiration to the people of the world who are struggling against imperialism and reaction for national independence, democracy and social liberation.

The Communist Party of the Philippines under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is also leading the Filipino masses in waging a life and death struggle against US imperialism and the local exploiting classes of compradors and landlords for national freedom and democracy and later for socialism. The Filipino revolutionaries are in solidarity with the Nepali people and other peoples who are waging people’s war or who are preparing to wage people’s war. Our struggles complement one another and contribute to the overall weakening of imperialism and reaction.

LONG LIVE MARXISM-LENINISM-MAOISM!
DOWN WITH IMPERIALISM AND REACTION!
ADVANCE THE PEOPLE’S WAR TO TOTAL VICTORY!
LONG LIVE PROLETARIAN INTERNATIONALISM!
