No Bases: Ecuador, March 5-9, 2007

03-12-2006 20:17

After the recent elections in Ecuador the situation looks less defensive for the No Bases movement: with a presidential post-election re-confirmation of the unwillingness to extend the contract with the U.S. when the current lease of the Manta air base runs out in 2009 the No Bases movement(s) can presumably meet safely in Ecuador.
