Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day

WFDY Solidarity Statement on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day

The world Federation of Democratic Youth would like to extend its solidarity with Victims of use of Nuclear weapons in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on this sad commemoration of 66th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Day.

On this sad occasion we would like to remind that the first festival of WFDY had highlighted two issues in the village near Prague where there were devastated consequences of Nazi war. The first issue was how fascism and its alliances did its barbaric acts to the people of weaker nation, different ideology and races whereas another issue is on the use of nuclear bomb by the United State against civilian people of Japan. No logics can justify such use of nuclear weapons in the cities of any moral war and no any reason for safety and retaliation to any aggression can justify the use of nuclear weapon against any civilians and in the case in which the bomb was used by the USA against Japan it worth to underline that the country had, in fact, already surrendered and stopped hostilities. Due to the drop of these nuclear weapons in august 6th and august 11, 1945, 90000- 160000 people in Hiroshima and 60 to 80 thousand people in Nagasaki were died of which 60 percent were killed at its first flash burns.

WFDY has always clear stance about imperialist and war policy of Japan that had carried out lot of suffering to the people of Korea, China, and Indo-China and making alliance with fascism for aggression is condemnable; and people’s resisting for their liberation and freedom in the countries always deserve victory. In fact, such war policy of Japan had pushed and misused the peace loving, dedicated and patriotic common people of Japan for war and aggression against neighbors. At the same time, we have our all respect and solidarity to the common people of Japan that they are great aspirators against nuclear weapons, defenders for any violation against their constitution of non-aggression and to promote peace and harmony in the world.

The third and fourth festival of WFDY had highlighted the issue of nuclear weapon to be abolished from world; and in many times we had taken some serious campaign against disarmament. The world is stepping in 21st century and our tragic sadness of using nuclear weapons has matured by 66 years. However, it is invisible that all the accumulation of nuclear weapons in this world with capacity to destroy this world many times and every corner to demonstrate the final show of idiocy spending billions of dollars while people in other world are dying from hunger, starvation and AIDS pandemic.

Finally, we express our commitment to fight against accumulation of nuclear weapons on this planet and to fight for the cause of disarmament in which the imperialist world order is first and foremost responsible, and pushing the whole humanity into the brink of disaster. The world needs full denuclearization and disarmament, not the hypocrite measures that USA (the only country that has actually ever used the bomb) and its imperialist allies demand from other countries (Iran, DPRK, etc.) while they keep developing aggressions and occupations and more and higher technological and more precise nuclear weapons.

Further, we express our solidarity with the struggles carried out by our member organizations in Japan JLSY, KYLJ, DYLJ, as well as all other members of WFDY, in those fronts.
