January 20th, Opening Celebration
Scenes from January 20th Opening Celebration
I found the Brazilian woman in the middle teaching a group from Mozambique songs… both countries speak Portuguese!
These guys are with “Global Youth Greens,” part of the global Green Party.
The EPA is a big, current issue – it’s the European/African equivalent of the FTAA (Free Trade Association of the Americas)… the neo-liberal idea that free trade is good for all. Biggest joke in the world.
Farai, from the Uhuru Network Youth Group in Zimbabwe, building grassroots power amidst a crazy political situation (namely, a dictatorship).
I think this guy is Kenya’s Michael Franti. ;-) Behind him were about 20 kids doing all sorts of acrobatics and dance.
A women’s dance group from Uganda.
Me, day one, feeling the intensity of it all.
