AADHIKAR DAILY WORLD COMMENTARY
0550 Hrs GMT London Saturday 31 December 2005
A day to pay homage to the
millions of people who
barely stayed alive in 2005, another year ruled by ‘democratic’, free-market opportunities to cause and to maintain hunger starvation and famine
The resources of the world
belong to the people of the world.
Most of the decisions made about the control and the use of the world’s resources during 2005 were made behind closed doors.
Or by small groups of individuals motivated by considerations of profit for the few and gratification for the minority.
Not moved by concern for the millions at home and abroad who are denied food and are condemned to just rot away.
In 2005 protest events took place against poverty and hunger.
But the G8 leaders showed that they did not have to pay attention to the needs of those in involuntary hunger and starvation. Populist self-seekers jumped on the bandwagons of allegedly anti-poverty shows.
Some even met GW Bush. None of these alleged activists against poverty issued a single sentence against warmongers.
They mouthed words vaguely. Others created barriers against the voices of the actually impoverished from reaching the wider public across the world.
Others who plotted against those in poverty have just been ‘honoured’ by the key=deciders of events and practices that keep[ poverty alive!
