On the day UK Chancellor Gordon Brown visits a shanty town in Kenya, here is the collection of expert opinion from last month's Africa Social Forum which he should be listening to as he embarks on this tour to convince himself that, at best, the system as it currently stands is ok and only needs reforms and tweaking at the edges, and at worst, is institutional neocolonialism.Conference of Finance North Africa / Middle East

MP Accountability: Shaun Woodward - New Labour - St Helens Sth
08-01-2005 16:55
An open letter to Shaun Woodward, New Labour MP for St Helens Sth. In which I examine his actual parliamentary record (support for Iraq War, Tuition Fees, Foundation Hospitals and ID cards), how he (mis)represents his electorate, ask some awkward questions and urge change.Go to www.PowerToThePeople.org.uk research your MP, name & shame and contact them for an explanation. With the General Election looming, publishing their actual (and most probably poor) record could have a real impact. Hold 'Em To Account!!
ACT for Rosia Montana: Romanian activists resist Gold Mine!
08-01-2005 11:08
In Romania, centred on the village of Rosia Montana, locals are fighting against the development of the largest gold mine in Europe, a development which has received inter-national condemnation: the gold will be mined using cyanide technology, a procedure which has caused catastrophical environmental damage in the past. Local people, with interational support, have resisted this strongly. This is one of the most vociferous movements in Romania!Inspiring Spaces at WSF 2005

07-01-2005 08:56
With the terrible tsunami disaster giving added urgency to efforts to end poverty and reduce / cancel the debt, Blair and Brown yesterday announced their G8 presidency plans for reducing poverty.While this is all good it's clear that along with debt reduction / cancellation and more aid, the priority is also expanding free trade, but trying to make some of it fairer.
Below are some of the key points as excerpts from the media coverage:

Robert Fisk Interview - Middle East in 2004
04-01-2005 13:15
ROBERT FISK: Well, I think that the whole project in Iraq is finished. We are not being told by Mr. Blair in my case and Bush in yours that this is the case, and perhaps through their own misjudgment or their own fantasies, they don't even accept this themselves. But the American project for democracy or whatever its real purposes were, for oil, economic expansion, Middle East fit for Israel, whatever it may have been, that project is finished. It is hopeless. It cannot succeed.
