Coalition Together to Save the Sahel (CPSS, Mali)
The Coalition Together to Save the Sahel (CPSS) warmly greets all participants at the International Anti-Imperialist Youth Conference and expresses its deep gratitude to the organizers for this initiative, which brings together representatives of progressive youth organizations and popular movements from many countries.
Today, humanity is going through a period marked by growing instability. Armed conflicts, economic crises, sanctions, social inequalities, and multiple forms of political domination continue to affect millions of women, men and young people around the world. The concentration of wealth and power in the hands of monopolies and financial capital further deepens social divisions and widens the gap between developed and developing nations.
Young people are among the primary victims of this situation. Unemployment, precarious employment, the rising cost of living, and the direct and indirect consequences of wars and economic crises are undermining the future of millions of youth. Despite these difficulties, the world’s youth remains an essential actor in the struggles for peace, the sovereignty of peoples, social justice and the right of nations to freely determine their own destiny.
The CPSS considers that international solidarity among workers, students, peasants and all oppressed peoples remains more indispensable than ever. Strengthening cooperation among progressive and anti-imperialist organizations constitutes an effective means of resisting contemporary forms of domination, neocolonial practices and all forms of economic, political and cultural exploitation.
We reaffirm our commitment to the inalienable right of every people to independent, sovereign development in accordance with their aspirations. We oppose any policy that undermines the sovereignty of states, worsens inequalities or contributes to the escalation of tensions and conflicts. We uphold dialogue between peoples, mutual respect and international cooperation founded on equality, justice and peace.
In the face of the growing challenges confronting humanity, we consider it necessary to further strengthen coordination, the exchange of experiences and bonds of solidarity among progressive and anti-imperialist youth organizations worldwide. These efforts represent a shared responsibility in building a more just and balanced future.
The Coalition Together to Save the Sahel expresses its solidarity with all peoples who are fighting for peace, social progress, national dignity and the emancipation of peoples. We remain convinced that unity, internationalism and cooperation among progressive forces are essential conditions for building a world founded on justice, sovereignty and respect for peoples.
Long live international solidarity!
