In Gao (Mali) the fifth edition of the People's Forum started as a counterweight to the G8 summit in St Petersburg, Russia. Several hundred people from NGOs and other initiatives meet for three days to raise awareness about the problems faced by poor people in Western Africa. The People's Forum (photos: 1 |2 | 3) is a popular manifestation to educate, exchange, communicate, inform, plan citizens' actions and elaborate alternatives to neoliberal globalization.
This year the conference is devoted to issues such as immigration (fr), plunder of the natural resources of the South or privatization of state-owned enterprises. (For example the water privatisation in Senegal: en | fr)
Mali is the largest producer of cotton in sub-Saharan Africa, and farmers are fighting (fr) for fair trade.

He stole www.perfume.dostweb.com/perfume-online.html men's and women's fragrances and
www.perfume.dostweb.com to support a drug habit that started when an on-the-job injury led to an addiction to painkillers.
Tomasz Teterycz, 27, of www.perfume.dostweb.com/cheap-perfume.html London paid the price yesterday for a month of shoplifting. Justice John Getliffe of the Ontario court of justice sentenced him to 30 days in jail on four theft charges.
The sentence, to be served on weekends, is in addition to the 47 days Teterycz has served in custody awaiting yesterday's court date. The 47 days of "dead time" is considered the equivalent of 94 days of jail time under the www.perfume.dostweb.com/perfume-shop.html sentencing formula used in Ontario courts.
Getliffe was told Teterycz began the thefts April 8 when he stole eight bottles of men's fragrance valued at nearly $500 from the Real Canadian Superstore on Oxford Street.
The next day, he was caught stealing two bottles of women's perfume valued at $127 from www.perfume.dostweb.com/gucci-perfume.html the Bay store at Masonville Place.
On April 18, he was caught stealing a DVD player valued at just under $40 from the Wal-Mart store on Clarke Road.
The fourth theft occurred June 10 when he was caught with two packages of cologne for men and three containers of women's perfume from the www.perfume.dostweb.com/perfume.html Zellers Inc. store on Commissioners Road.
All the stolen merchandise was recovered by the stores. On three occasions, Teterycz was found to have no money with him when he was caught. The fourth time, he had $2.50 in his pocket.
Defence lawyer Richard Braiden said www.perfume.dostweb.com/discount-perfume.html his Polish-born client, who lives in London with his mother, had never been in trouble with the law until he was injured on the job at a metal-working company.
While being treated for the injury, Teterycz became addicted www.perfume.dostweb.com/womens-perfume.html to painkillers, said Braiden. Later, he developed an addiction to cocaine.
Teterycz was enrolled in one drug treatment www.perfume.dostweb.com/angel-perfume.html program but it didn't solve his problem, Braiden told Getliffe.
He's now seeking to enter a more rigorous www.perfume.dostweb.com/perfume-bottle.html residential program at a treatment centre near Guelph.
Getliffe sentenced Teterycz to 30 days on each of the four www.perfume.dostweb.com/free-perfume-sample.html charges, to be served concurrently.
