Not what you're thinking that while you are working. But now to the topic: In the past week and a half I told the young world of Tshwane of the World Youth Festival. Yes, there are. In many socialist countries such as Venezuela or Cuba, and in some countries, who like to flirt with socialist rhetoric, such as South Africa, the World Youth Festival even risen again to quite important.
for world peace, against the empire! was now - the South African press was limited almost entirely in their reporting on this aspect - this event is not always very organized everything in detail. In other words, the ANC Youth League has taken some time ago that once independent, state youth development agency NYDA. That was the extent practical, as that there are dozens of well-paid jobs NYDA in which one really need to do anything. Besides speeches by those authorities in this country anyway, no one expected anything. Said NYDA then took over the organization of the World Youth Festival, was responsible, inter alia, any of its directors, Andile Lungisa, who acts otherwise as Vice-President of the ANC youth. I have him on the fourth day of the conference also happened to meet when he asked me about the entrance to the media center. We know what you are doing ...
Was better organized: North Korean delegation The dedicated organizers succeeded in the first four days of the festival for more than fifty percent of the own organization chaos sacrifice, they accomplished addition, thousands of delegates for days to be without regular meals (if for once got a delivery, security guards secured with machine guns, the issue so that the parched crowd not to storm attaches) and international delegations go up to three times the accommodation to leave because the planning was simply non-existent. Since there is almost no more weight that even the shuttle buses often initially came hours late, the accreditation list was found and female speakers as Winnie Mandela did not appear, because no one had invited them in time.
South African demonstrators at the closing rally would be thematic to mention perhaps that seminars such as "housing as a human right" or "The role of young people in the fight against illiteracy" turned out completely and discussions about free education and inclusive health insurance models - which allegedly are as far up on the ANC's agenda - South Africans got along without the podium. If this inability to well-paid political cadres still always sounds the freedom song of Solomon Mahlangu, ended its life in 1979 with 23 years on the gallows of the apartheid regime, because he wanted to fight for equal rights for all people in his country, then leave the already a very uncomfortable Feeling in the stomach. To Ehrrettung the event was, however, be mentioned that the second festival-half was much rounder, the seminars were some very interesting and informative, and informal contacts between the youth delegations to network so global, anyway the most important on such a festival.
Global popular food company touts anti-imperialist backdrop. Additionally, I want complain not only suffering and evil, because now turns to the story and a charming fairy tale begins:
One night it so happened that a group stormed a South African delegate to the media center. The men and women said, to seek their guidance. The course was very seldom deign to mingle with the infantry and was absent on this evening. One has finally fallen not just in activism, just because we invited 12,000 international guests who like to know more about the political situation in their country. They did this way, after all, also found himself well. When asked what she would bring up the wall for so declared now so some of the people so applied, that they had received nothing to eat for ages and also the buses, they should bring them to their accommodation, not to be found be. That sounded realistic. But it was unfortunately completely wrong, learn how at the press conference the next day was. The youngsters were roused by the conference so that they would defeat the imperialism right here and now. Hence the storm. Also makes sense to me, although it is a pity that the parties actually did appear to have no idea what they were doing. The only question is whether the youth league top brass are aware of in which role they would be in this game. Hallelujah!
pure enthusiasm to the final rally
