Speak out for Libya

Submitted 13 years 5 months ago by Lizzie.

After decades of indifference, it seems strange that the West should now so suddenly develop a conscience concerning the welfare of Libyan civilians. Libyans have long suffered the tyranny of Gadaffi’s dictatorship, well-armed as it is by companies based in the ‘developed’ world. So why is it only now that those arms sales licenses have been cancelled?

Submitted 13 years 8 months ago by Anonymous.

Soundcheck 2011: Resurrecting Hope. What a weekend. We came expecting to be challenged, to discover more about unjust situations in the world around us, to be inspired by the stories of others in the SPEAK Network.
