Social Movements in Africa / European Social Forum
Dave | 15.10.2003 08:39 | Oxford
Globalise Resistance Public Meeting
Social Movements in Africa
Speaker: Kate Prendergast
Thurs. 16th Otober, 7.30 PM
Oxford Town Hall.
Africa is suffering from devastating wars over its natural resources, such as the civil war in the DR Congo that has killed an estimated 3.3 million people, while enriching the mining corporations. At the same time, international 'agreements' are opening up Africa's economies to exploitation by the free market, while denying Africans access to western markets.
Kate will be looking at the resistance to these trends, focusing on initiatives from Africans' own social movements to resist neo-liberalism.
There will also be information and discussion about the European Social Forum in Paris this November.
