Toulouse, France: Sabotage of Rail Traffic to Disrupt Arms Industry in Solidarity with Palestine

Let’s sabotage their war paths

On the night of October 3 to 4, 2024, we sabotaged the railway tracks from Toulouse in a south-southwest direction. A tag was left nearby “Let’s sabotage their war paths”.

The paths of neoliberal wars cross all countries thanks to the railways.

Imperial war is being built here in Europe. Transport infrastructure is a key basis for its deployment.

The TSI (Transatlantic Security Initiative) as part of its European military mobility programme produced a report in April 2020. The objective is to increase freight capacity and digital connection within and outside Europe. This relationship resulted in new agreements between railway companies and military companies.

This is what is happening in Italy at the moment between Leonardo (an arms company) and the RFI (Italian railway network).

In France, the SNCF boasted of being the first industry invited to the parade on July 14, to honor its participation in the nation’s rearmament effort and its logistical support. It is not the only one, many others are taking advantage of the ongoing devastation, from the arms market to the reconstruction market. The south-western area of Toulouse is home to the SNCF, Thales, Airbus, Safran, and other war profiteers, among others. Symbolically, at least for one day, their workers had trouble getting to work this morning, sorry for the strollers who just wanted to go for a walk.

We answer the call of the 2024 Balkan Anarchist Bookfair: “Invitation to act against militarism and nationalism (1-10 October 2024). During this period, we invite everyone, in their own locality and in their own way, to organize actions against the conditions of war: nationalism, militarism, patriarchy, politics of exclusion, etc. We call for action against the arms industry and the transport of weapons, against all national military apparatuses, multinational military coalitions, and the increasing militarization of our societies. ยป

Solidarity with all deserters, war resisters, and conscientious objectors
