OPERATION OMEGA
3, Caledonian Road, London, N.1.
"No boundary is legitimate which attempts to separate those in pain from those who can help. Human beings do not need permission to aid those threatened with death."
OPERATION OMEGA IN BANGLADESH
In Bangladesh a people against its will is being suppressed and terrorized by an army from West Pakistan. The world seems incapable of stopping this tyranny, and the 75 million people of Bangladesh have been isolated. The world waits for them either to be eliminated, or for them to become sufficiently strong to force the West Pakistan army to retreat.
Meanwhile, reliable and independent reports make it clear that masses of people inside Bangladesh are facing acute shortages of food and medicine.
OPERATION OMEGA has no choice as a humanitarian other than to cross the border into Bangladesh. In the first instance we have to show the victims and the rest of the world that there are human beings who refuse to let them be isolated, and in the second instance to get relief assistance to those in need.
THE INTENT OF OPERATION OMEGA IS EXPRESSED AS FOLLOWS;
Our intention is to take food and medical supplies into Bangladesh and distribute them ourselves to civilians in need.
The Pakistan government has been told of OMEGA'S intent, and governments throughout the world will be told. But no permission will be sought for OMEGA to enter Bangladesh. We do not recognize Pakistan's authority over Bangladesh.
We are ordinary people, convinced that the world's humanitarian aid must not be used for its own political ends by the Pakistan regime, and that no barrier must be allowed to exist between those who suffer and those who seek help.
The Method of Operation Omega is as Follows:
The team will fly to India and meet up with our Inkman and the members of the OMEGA ONE team now in India. Thereafter everyone in India will work I together. They will purchase relief supplies and medicines in India, and attempt to locate two vehicles for the first border crossing. The OMEGA ONE vehicle will be driven to Calcutta as soon as is possible after its arrival in Bombay and thereafter will be put to whatever use is most effective.
Entry into Bangladesh will be made by two vehicles together. In case of any incident immobilizing the first team, the second team will attend and help, and also send back word to the border contact. He in turn will immediately alert the communications network. For the purposes of communication and support, there will be at least one OMEGA volunteer at the border and one in Calcutta whenever this is necessary for maintaining effective contact with London.
OPERATION OMEGA to Bangladesh could mark the beginning of a new era: an era in which governments will have to deal directly with the “human Factor". No longer will they have the luxury of ignoring letters, petitions, resolutions and crises at a distance, instead they will have to deal with the stubborn flesh and blood of those who are compelled to act by their very definition of what it is to be human.
