| | The 7th World Social Forum (WSF, 20 to 25 January 2007) in Nairobi is one of those 'once in a life time' events in the lives of many people apart from the veterans who may continue to attend every one throughout their lives. It is an all comers forum. For instance, the gay and lesbian lobby in Africa are there alongside the maoists, mnachists, peasant movements, trade unionists, other syndicalists, radical scholars, grassroots movements, many roof tops movements, stalinists, trotskyites, leninists, fanonists, cabralists, castroists, nkrumahists, negritudinists, revolutionaries and reformers, all kinds of gender activists and womanists, and more. The reactionaries will say: 'all lunatics are in town'. |
