A solidarity meeting with the people of Burma who are struggling for
democracy and human rights was held in the Africa continent with
students and youth representatives from various countries expressing
their support for the Burmese people.
The Solidarity Meet was held last Saturday in the on-going 15th World
Festival of Youth and Students in Algeria. The World Festival of Youth
and Students is being held under the banner of "Let's Globalise the
Struggle for Peace, Solidarity, Development, against Imperialism" from
8th to 16th August in Algeria. More than twelve thousand students and
youth from over 140 countries are participating in the 8-day festival.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Kyaw Than, President of India-based All
Burma Students League highlighted the current political situation in
Burma and sought the support from the international community for the
"talks" which is currently taking place between the ruling military
generals and opposition leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. "The international
community however should not rush into Burma for financial assistance
till some concrete results towards democratic changes come out (of the
talks)", he said. Another solidarity meet was also held yesterday
evening for the peoples of Burma, Korea DPR and struggling people of
Republic of Korea, Bhutan and East Timor.
The World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY), an international NGO
which has consultative status with United Nations and operational
relation with UNESCO, is organizing the World Festival of Youth and
Students. A formal declaration relating to world's issues is expected to
come out at the end of the festival on 16th August.
