50 years is enough/Jubilee south africa

A further comment anent the great march from Alex to Sandton. The gathering of multiple voices, multiple concerns and multiple demands at Speakers Corner, Sandton, was the new face of the new struggle. It is the face of resistance that will confront the new corporate power which threatens us globally. It comes at the necessary time. European power theorists are discussing worriedly, as they did at a recent meeting during the World Summit, "The future of Multilateralism". But in the U.S. talk of a new and greater unilateralism (under terms as various as "the grand strategy" or "the breakout strategy") which will greatly diminish national sovereignty and give the United States, as the all over-ruling power the right of pre-emptive and preventive strikes anywhere in the world, not merely to terrorist threats but also to any power which might threaten the superiority of the United States. It is for this reason that the new face of resistance comes at a necessary time.
