The World Social Forum is coming to Kenya and Africa for the first time since her inception about five years ago. Known as the largest gathering of the civil society advocating with and for the poor, the social forum will provide Africa with an opportunity to show case her struggles against global and domestic injustices such as the heavy debt burden, unjust international trade laws and biased donor-aid condionatlities which ensure that Africa forever remains an economic colony of the so called developed countries.
