[Imc-africa] Where we are with preparation for the WSF-IMC

Fri Oct 13 13:50:02 UTC 2006

Hi Janmaat! You Liala and Bih are in the list. The place to write to be 
included
in the list is here(imc-africa). I just need to redo ticket number and update
the wiki. But that will be done later. I must go now.

Bih! I apologize for not taking the time to reach out to all you folks 
who have
been struggling in the violent atmosphere in Ambazonia to do indymedia stuff.
Basically after that brutal response from the Cameroon regime, I had to 
hastily
leave the country. And for a long time now I've been working very hard round
the clock to put the images we filmed in Buea during the protest into a
documentary.
I'm happy that the information got to you before it was too late.
I understand Timothy or some other person from the guys still in exile in
Nigeria will like to come to the WSF. I sent word through Edith that, 
they will
have to personally write to the imc-Africa list to be included. I hope they
understood.
Bye for now.
