The World Social Forum does not get much attention in the mainstream media. Of course, they are too busy reporting on the latest bank robbery, I mean the robbing of banks, not the robbing by banks; they have no concern with making this world a better place to live on.
IPS: "In another departure from precedent, the 2006 WSF is being held in no less than three venues: from Bamako, the forum moves directly to the Venezuelan capital of Caracas - and later to Pakistan's financial centre of Karachi.
The fundamental concern of the World Social Forum is to mobilise people to make a statement ... that we need another world."
TMCNet: "A new leftist lite is emerging at the World Social Forum, unaffiliated with any political party and made up of university-educated activists, according to surveys by IBASE, the Brazilian Institute of Social and Economic Analysis."
FreeNewMexican: "The recent rise of left-leaning governments in Bolivia, Argentina, Uruguay and Chile makes the event a timely forum to exchange ideas, said Miguel Tinker Salas, a Latin American studies professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California."
Thanks to greedy neocons the world is becoming hell for increasing numbers of people. Capitalism cannot or will not deliver the goods, it is the cause of the problem.
WFP: "Nearly US$2 billion in food aid will be required in 2006 to ward off widespread hunger and starvation."
