[New-imc] cuba indymedia

Tue Jan 6 20:21:01 PST 2009

hello all,

it is amazing that soon we will have cuba/havana indymedia be part of the
global indymedia network. i salute everyone who unconditionally helped our
comrades from south america.

in light to this wonderful update i am also informing everyone that we
also have a collective in Singapore that is currently organizing for a
local indymedia. i am attaching this message to Seelan Palay (our contact
from Singapore). i hope they start to continue again their efforts to
finally build Singapore Indymedia.

cheers from the asian Global South.

solidarity,
jongpairez
