The Fifth South Asia
Regional Conference of the parties and Organisations of RIM was concluded in
July 2003. The Conference was called and led by the Communists of the
Revolutionary Internationalist Movement and both full and candidate participants
of RIM from the region participated.
The Regional
Conference was held in a red area, a guerrilla zone located in the Bihar-Chattisgarh-Orissa-Jharkhand
Special Area in India. It was held in a warm and conducive atmosphere protected
by a company of the newly formed People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army led by the
Maoist Communist Centre, India. It began with the hoisting of the red flag. The
martyrs of the world proletarian revolution in South Asia and all countries were
commemorated by garlanding a memorial column and observing two minutes silence.
The sessions were held in the specially constructed Yenan Hall decorated with
slogans and illustrations reflecting the tasks and political orientation of the
Conference. At the front of the hall were portraits of Marx, Engels, Lenin,
Stalin and Mao. A revolutionary cultural team performed a program in many
languages in honour of the conference, in which the delegates joined, singing
songs in their languages.
The conference hailed
the growth of the revolutionary movement in the various countries of South Asia
and the growing trend of unification between the Maoist forces in India. "The
comrades from Nepal presented a vivid picture of the earth shaking advances of
the People’s War, which have threatened not only the Nepalese ruling class but
also Indian expansionism and US imperialism. The parties and organizations
participating in the Regional Conference resolved to fulfill their
internationalist duty to develop a powerful mass movement against any direct or
indirect military intervention against the People’s War led by the Communist
Party of Nepal (Maoist) under the leadership of Comrade Prachanda. The Regional
Conference endorsed the slogan "Hands off Nepal!!" and called on the
revolutionary masses of the world "look the Himalayas, a better world’s in
birth!"
In addition, the
Communiqué released said:
The Regional
Conference denounces the increasing military cooperation between the US and the
reactionary regimes of the region, especially efforts to set up basses and
sinister plans to utilize the reactionary armies of this region in the service

The Regional
Conference hailed the importance and timely formation of the Coordinating
Committee of Maoist Parties and Organisations of South Asia (CCOMPOSA). The
