LaRouche
in Liberia
www.larouchepub.com/pr/1997/africa_ops.html April 5, 1997 -- The Schiller Institute
issues a new appeal to President Clinton, urging immediate action on the
plight of the refugees. The appeal, which has received hundreds of signatures
so far, was drafted by Helga Zepp LaRouche, founder of the Schiller Institute, and Godfrey
Binaisa, former President of Uganda and founder of the African Civil Rights
Movement, urging an immediate stop to the genocide in Zaire. The resolution was amended, and adopted as
amended (one abstention), by members of the body assembled on April 5, 1997 at
the Riverside Church in New York, to honor the 30th anniversary of Dr. Martin
Luther King's speech there against the Vietnam War. Former government officials and concerned
citizens from the nations of Haiti, Burundi, Nigeria, Liberia, Togo, Pakistan, Zaire,
and El Salvador, also supported the resolution. A committee of the African Civil Rights
Movement determined, at the close of the event, to circulate the resolution
for signatures. |
