Kofi Annan is supposedly scheduled to visit the Gambia on April 28 people. Here is an excellent opportunity to show the UN what state our poor country is in and to highlight all the human rights violations that have and are still taking place in the Gambia. Here is a link about the visit http://abcnews.go.com/wire/World/reuters20000407_2652.html I am also working on the e-mail petition and a website to host the forms and will supply the list with a link in the next day or two. I still need to have the e-mail addresses (include regular post mail addresses too if u have them) of the organisations we want to protest to. I am also suggesting that we set up an organisation of sorts that will monitor these human rights violations in the gambia and make sure either through the press and and or the internet (establish a web presence), promote human and civil rights in the Gambia and also highlight the atrocities taking place. Such a web site/organisation will develop new methods of activism with Internet technology and provide an online voice to anyone whose civil and human rights have been violated or to highlight any corruption in the government etc. I can supply further details on the setting up the website etc if we want to go ahead with this. Thats all for now and just in case my e-mail address is [log in to unmask] Pope YN ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
