MAJOR CONFERENCE IN EL SALVADOR AGAINST PLAN COLOMBIA
On July 20-22, 2001, a major conference against Plan Colombia will be held in El Salvador. The International Action Center is an endorser of the conference and is planning to send a delegation.
The INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR PEACE AND SOLIDARITY IN COLOMBIA AND LATIN AMERICA is being organized by a number of major groups in El Salvador, including the FMLN. Significant and broad layers of leaders and organizations from throughout Latin America and the U.S have endorsed it.
Some endorsers include Nobel Prize winner Adolfo Perez Esquivel; Eduardo Galeano; and Rigoberta Menchu from Latin America, and Jose Saramago from Portugal. From the U.S. Ramsey Clark, Mumia Abu Jamal, Noam Chomsky and Prof. James Petras have endorsed. Anti-war organization from Europe OSPAAL, the Martin Luther King Center from Cuba, Ahmed BenBella from Algeria, and a number of groups from Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico are endorsing and sending representatives.
The objective of the conference is to shed light on the devastating effects of Plan Colombia, not only for the nation of Colombia but all of Latin America. The conference should be a resounding message against the militaristic plans of the Bush Administration.
With the belligerent tone and attitude of U.S. imperialism, support for this conference and all efforts against Plan Colombia are of great importance.
