Even though the enslavement of Afrikan people was abolished by the European powers over 100 years ago, a new 'relationship' now exists between Afrika and the Western world which is a new form of enslavement which is probably more damaging to Afrikan people than it was 150, 200, 250, 300,350 years ago.NO HELP DEMO

INCA center, TIMISOARA under eviction threat
13-12-2005 20:46
INCA Foundation(in Timisoara) got a place from the city for a period of 5 years to develop a community center inside a historical part of the city (part of the defense wall of the old fortress of the city). Now after 3 and a half years inspectors came keen on finding stuff that is breaking the contract so that they have a motivation to throw us in the streets. Our strong conviction is that this was a deliberate act, and inspectors which came were not interested to find solutions to fix the problems they discovered, they were not interested in finding out if there is another side of the story and so on. They were sent to find a reason to throw us out.Netherlands: No logging for AWACS

Philipinos protest WTO
13-12-2005 16:57
" It is not and has never been an institution that had the betterment of the working peoples' welfare as its agenda..." WTO disputed in Philippine Congress. (Dec 6)
Resist! Spokesperson and Bayan Muna Representative Teddy Casino today questioned in Congress the Philippines' continuing membership in the the World Trade Organization (WTO). "The W TO is not by any stretch of the imagination an estbalished or elected government; but from the way it conduct itself, it has become the most powerful pseudo-legislative and judicial body in the world," he said.
