You, poor people in the developing countries…unionize
“If there were 150 thousand demonstrators in Genoa against globalization…. So we
have to consider NGOs desire for globalization for more humanity and balance”
It was comment of the French president Jack Sherak on demonstrators, who
protested in the Italian City “Genoa” against G8 summit that held on 20th July
2001. There were 150 thousand demonstrators from all world countries that came
to the coastal city to declare their refusing to the economical policies that
governments of the rich countries imposed. 150 thousand demonstrators that armed
with their bodies, angry throats, juice cans, music machines and smoky bombs
were in front of thirty thousand Italian soldiers that armed with advanced
weapons, who came to protect presidents of big countries (America, Japan,
Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Russia). 150 thousand demonstrators lifted
their signs that declared curse for presidents and demanded for deleting borders
between countries, opening rich countries gates to any one that searched for
work, editing fair commercial conditions and lighting debts of developing
countries.
The international contradicted movement that comprised representatives from
NGOs, parties and political organizations organized thousands of demonstrations
in Seattle 1999, Brag 2000 and finally in Genoa. It organized 30 thousand
demonstrations during the three days of the summit when there were one killed,
46 injured and 39 arrested that preached red area where presidents hidden from
angry demonstrators.
What happens now in Genoa is a small sample for the world that eight members of
the summit discussed in vain projects like establishing box for diseases
struggle in the world, searching for new mechanisms for drugs and decreasing
debts of poor countries. In fact, these projects are far from real needs of poor
people. For example, there is less than billion for project of international
medical care. About project of poor countries debts, there was no real intention
from presidents of the eight countries to decrease debts that revealed great
contradiction between benefits of the poor and rich around the world.
Therefore, the importance of role of the poor and their representatives
internationally and locally revealed that numerous people, who passed borders to
scandal policies of group of betrayers, were poor. At the time that
participation of developing countries presidents were very marginal and
unaffected.
The poor of the third world are seemed to be outside the picture although they
are in its middle that at the time they suffer from burdens of negative effects
of economical policies that the global system imposes, have no real existence or
clear voice that expresses their demands. Those poor countries suffer from this
crisis doubling because they don’t suffer only from poverty but they have no
real opportunities to express themselves through democratic system or
participate in making decisions that form their destines. Demonstrations in
Seattle, Brag or Genoa emphasized that the poor have to press to transform
globalization to agree with their conditions and demands. Moreover, they
asserted that the new global system has to comprise cooperation in making
decisions and unionize powers of the poor around the world by imposing their
demands. Therefore, the poor and representatives of NGOs and civil society
organizations have a historical duty representing in unionization of people to
press with all their forces to create their position on the square. Those
demonstrations are declarations for all poor people to inform them that
resistance is the only weapon for survive and achieving poor humanistic rights
for fair life.
The present stage of the world history is the stage of changes and historical
transformations that reform the global view and replace roles and positions
where we find ourselves in the back because we are developing countries.
Therefore, we have to create voice for the poor in our country by directing NGOs
and civil society organizations to poor farmers and labors and unemployed youth,
who rise their signs to ask for their rights.
Land Center for Human Rights declares his complete agreement for movement of
Genoa and in everyplace where betrayers gather to play with the poor destinies.
It asks all the poor, civil society organizations and NGOs in Egypt and Arab
world to cooperate to resist against despotism with our human rights in order to
live in more fair and humanistic society.
