On the occasion of the Chernobyl disaster anniversary, the French pressure group « Sortir du nucléaire » highly encourage you to take part in the international action day.

Reactor No 4 at Chernobyl exploded on April 26th 1986, 22 years ago. That day, the biggest technological and industrial disaster the world has ever known began. Chernobyl keeps claiming victims nowadays : its irreversible and catastrophic impact on health (cancers, multiple organ failures, mutations...) will affect generations to come.

Towards peoples alternatives in Africa and Europe

We, civil society activists engaged in a wide range of peoples’ movements and organisations in Africa and Europe met in Lisbon from 7-9 December 2007 to express our opposition and resistance to the neoliberal free trade and investment policies that European and African governments are implementing in our countries, and which they propose as a framework for the “Africa- EU Strategic Partnership”. While the leaders of two continents gathered in Lisbon to decide the future of Africa, we came together to further the social and political dialogue among our peoples because we defend our right to resist concretely and to propose alternatives, and we are confident of our capacity to put them into practice.
