All set for Mesopotamia Social Forum in Diyarbakýr
The Mesopotamia Social Forum will be on this year starting on 21 September and it will last until 25 September. The venue is once again Amed / Diyarbakýr.
In the evening of the 21 the Forum will officially open with an inauguration march and the opening concert.
An "Ecology tent" will be pitch outside the Forum venue so to underline the importance of protection of the environment and ecological issue.
While the entire world is agitated politically, socially and morally, the organizers of the Forum said they "would like to spread our voice in resistance and hear other voices. We would like to walk together".
In a period of people’s spring in the Middle East, while some governments collapse, some governments are becoming more skilled. The convocatory message say that "While colonialists kill humanity and nature with bombs, dams and drugs/pesticides, resisting people are protecting themselves and creating the future. While colonialists monopolise and behave like a beast, opening war markets and serving "packaged futures" to the people, people are surviving their differences with respect and growing peace sprouts of honour. While the states try to erase the history of the people, people and the seekers of truth are confronting the past, constructing the memories.
Mesopotamia Social Forum is calling for solidarity to make the alternatives of the people visible and merging their voices for Justice, Peace of honour and Freedom".
