Africa
26.12.2005 Questo č un invito a vedere l’Africa dalla parte giusta. Dalla parte degli africani e delle africane che difendono la vita, i diritti, la dignitą del loro continente. Dalla parte di coloro che resistono allo sfruttamento, alla rapina delle risorse naturali e umane, alle guerre e alle dittature, alle forme vecchie e nuove di colonialismo. Saranno loro a dare vita al Forum Sociale Mondiale policentrico che si terrą a Bamako, in Mali, dal 19 al 24 gennaio prossimi. Nello stesso periodo, altri due Forum si terranno a Caracas in Venezuela e a Karachi in Pakistan. Nel gennaio del 2007, poi, i movimenti sociali di tutto il mondo si ritroveranno in Kenia. Il percorso iniziato a Porto Alegre nel 2001 continua a mettere radici in tutti i continenti. L’alleanza globale per un mondo diverso diventa pił grande. Diffonde speranza concreta di cambiamento.
