Media for social change

During the World Social Forum, in the streets of Dakar, a human sea of some 50, 000 people chanted and marched for, among other things, peace, justice, better access to education and health. A handful of people could also be seen holding signs of solidarity with the people of Egypt saying messages like: "Egypte, on entend ta voix. Ton Heure. Ton choix." or "Senegal - Egypte. Du peuple au peuple" Here's an audio piece with messages of solidarity from the people of the World Social Forum to the people of Egypt.

Since January 25, Egypt is currently in the midst of a popular uprising against the authoritarian regime of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. (Who has been in power for the past 30 years!)
