THIS WEEK *Special Session on the Rwanda Genocide: the Legacy of Colonial 
Powers in Africa*

---------------------------
Wednesday February 14, 2006
@ 6:30pm
Britannia Community Center
(on Commercial Drive at Napier St – address: 1661 Napier St)
---------------------------

This week’s MAWO educational class will feature a special presentation and 
in-depth discussion on the legacy of colonial powers in Africa. As a 
background to understanding today’s threats toward Sudan and the recent 
US-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia, we will examine the case of the 
1994 genocide in Rwanda. Who really planned and carried out this genocide 
and knew before it happened? What was the UN’s role? What is the track 
record in Africa of today’s self-proclaimed ‘benevolent’ saviours for 
Sudanese people? For further reading check out the MAWO Newsletter #14 
Article on the Rwanda genocide at

MAWO is also organizing an ongoing series of forums, petition drives and 
protest rallies calling for “US/UN Hands Off Africa”
Next forum: this Friday February 16th 6:00pm at the Britannia Community 
Center.

MAWO NEWS:
Since the launch of the MAWO Sudan/Somalia campaign just 3 weeks ago, MAWO 
organizers have collected over 1700 signatures on the petitions “No to 
Invasion of Sudan!” and “All Foreign Troops Out of Somalia!” MAWO is also 
organizing and building for the February 24th demonstration in Vancouver 
calling for "US/UK Out of Iraq!" "Canada Out of Afghanistan!" and "US/UN 
Hands Off Darfur/Sudan!" "All Foreign Troops Out of Somalia!"
