March on Washington October 26: Call for solidarity

March in Washington

The whole world was grieving, saddened, shocked and outraged by the atrocities of September 28 last on the peaceful population of Conakry. In more than 157 people killed, 1253 injured, dozens of women were publicly raped and abused by the red berets of the presidential guard.
On this painful and unacceptable occasion, the movements of Guinean women in the United States in partnership with the Guinean Forces Vives in the United States organize a protest march Monday, October 26, 2009 in Washington DC to express their solidarity with the victims and their support efforts and actions of the Forum Forces Vives.
We therefore invite the Guinean women, children and men, all American communities, African and all Democrats residing in the United States to go massively in Washington DC to encourage and solicit the support of the Department of State and Congress for the departure of captain Musa Dadis Camara and the military junta. Let us also march in DC to demand that the perpetrators of September 28’s crimes are brought to justice.
Liberian, Sierra Leonean, Ivorian, Malian, Senegalese, Bissau Guinean, Nigerian, Beninese, Togolese, Mauritanian, Cape Verdian, Gambian, Burkinabé, Nigerian (etc…) women and communities are cordially invited to take part in the march for the defense of the right , freedom, equality, justice and democracy.

Meet at Lafayette Park (across from the White House) Monday, October 26, 2009, at 10:30.
