Are Mens Stomachs Bigger Than Womens

Demonstration of solidarity for the peoples of North Africa also in Alghero

full press release:

spontaneous A committee of citizens, it is formed in towns and on the social network facebook under the name of solidarity with the peoples of the Maghreb, where not now when? .

In just over a week the group has a strong membership, now about 600 members who have joined the mobilization to organize a march in Alghero of solidarity for the peoples of North Africa. The recent violence against the people who bravely rose up against the decades-long yoke of their despotic leaders (not just in North Africa but also in China, Yemen, Oman ...) have led many citizens to question the serious lack of protection human rights and the desire for democracy and freedom beyond the Mediterranean. The Committee, spontaneous and free of party affiliations, have joined the citizens' associations in many religious and civil, and political movements of opinion, the Faculty of Architecture of Alghero and individuals who choose to meet for a moment of reflection, witness and commitment civil. The event si svolgerà giovedì 3 marzo con raduno e partenza da Piazza Sulis alle ore 18.30 , il corteo silenzioso si svilupperà nel centro storico cittadino per terminare con un sit-in in Piazza Teatro. Letture e musica etnica arricchiranno il momento comunitario nella piazza d’arrivo e daranno l’opportunità a tutti i partecipanti di intervenire con spunti di riflessione sui temi della mondialità e della peace.

The event is logically connected to Demonstration for the Rights of Migrants of Sassari held Tuesday afternoon in Sassari and many cities of Italy.

The event aims to involve sensitivity to Alghero and different affiliations, joining participants in the shared objective of protecting human rights, the dignity of peoples and mutual respect. The prolongation of the violence in Libya should not in any way lead us to become accustomed to the tragedies taking place, leading us to consider them as inevitable and far. For this reason, the spontaneous group will continue to work, not relegating the march Thursday in an isolated event but rather enhance it to support a strong reflection of Alghero and proactive in our community about our company, prepared to send military and humanitarian aid throughout the world, but often unable to understand their responsibilities in what is happening in our neighboring countries, but also in the door of our house.

Il Mediterraneo dei gelsomini”


C’è una Italia che si riconosce nella lezione di coraggio e dignità che arriva dal mondo arabo.

Il profumo dei gelsomini arriva anche nel nostro paese, anche nelle barche piene di giovani con la loro domanda future.

Today blows from a region of old and new colonialists robbed, oppressed by corrupt officials and sold, raped by war and terrorism, too often disputed, divided and humiliated.

Alzare la testa si può, anche quando costa immensamente caro, come il prezzo che il popolo libico sta pagando in queste ore per aver sfidato il dittatore.

Siamo tutti coinvolti da ciò che accade aldilà del mare. Le speranze e i timori, i successi e le tragedie delle sollevazioni arabe disegnano anche il nostro futuro.

Viviamo conficcati in mezzo al Mediterraneo ed è da qui che è sempre venuta gran parte della nostra storia.

Non possiamo restare in silenzio, …

Uniamo le nostre voci per chiedere la fine della repressione in Libia e in tutti gli altri paesi coinvolti dalla rivolta dei gelsomini, from Yemen to Bahrain as far afield as China.
