Bamako IMC starts
Bamako IMC | 17.01.2006 16:06 | Globalisation | Indymedia | Sheffield | World
With the help of two Attac activists from Finnland I found a place to stay for a short night and finanlly hooked up with the french indymedia lot today.
From here various preparations are done, including for this matter the IMC Bamako, that will include a cinema.
We will try to fly more Indymedia delegates in from South Afrcia and Nigeria as we have in the last miniute secured some funding from a german foundation to do so.
It is all a big chaos of course with over 10.000 people expected to come to the WSF.
