Der har vaeret gang i den paa Verdens Sociale Forum.

Daglige demonstrationer og til sidst oprettelsen af et internationalt

netvaerk "USA out of Somalia"

Her er den indledningshilsen som er sendt ud i dag:

More than 100 yesterday signed on the list. With each of you having a

good number of further contacts this network can within days reach a

size to have a global impact.

Therefore you should forward this message or the content to all your

relevant contacts as soon as possible, knowing from previous

occupations that time just after is extremely important.

The basis for the network is presently the text on the leaflets for

the ”USA out of Somalia” daily demonstrations at World Social Forum

(WSF2007) and the proposal from Somali Social Forum (which include all

the Somali organisations at WSF2007), Stop the War Coalition and STS

International Solidarity. The proposal from the 3 organisations where

well received and goes into the final documents of WSF2007.

Text of Leaflet:

One month ago USA opened the third front in the so called war on

terror. Ethiopian soldiers were the frontrunners but his masters voice

was directly heard when bombs fell heavily over

southern Somalia. As seen before civilians suffers the most, also since

Kenya in contradiction to international law closed the border for

refugees.

The Ethiopian invasion, that do not have a popular backing at home have

opened up for warlords regaining power both individually and as part of

the transitional government.

The WSF should demand the foreign troops of invasion out of Somalia,

not to open up for warlords again but for the Somali people to really

decide on their own future.

The WSF should be a start for campaigning globally to this end.

Text of proposal:

That all relevant groups and organisations demand the foreign troops of

invasion out of Somalia, This should not to open up for warlords again

but for the Somali people to really decide on their own future with out

foreign intervention.

Everybody can enter an informal network by contacting one of the

proposing organisations. This can assure that the international

solidarity is in line with the striving for peace and self-centred

development in Somalia.

The mailing list is as you see disclosed but anyone can tell us to make

their email address open so that anyone from the list can contact you.
