Dockworkers in South Africa have blocked a Chinese arms boat from reaching
Zimbabwe... but the crackdown continues. As the ship moves up the Southern
African coast looking for a new port--and China weighs whether to recall the
weapons--African unions, citizen groups, and church organisations are launching
a campaign to stop arms from fuelling the Zimbabwe crisis.
Avaaz is joining with them and a global coalition including Oxfam, Amnesty, and
IANSA to build support throughout Africa and round the world. Stopping the arms
is a concrete step leaders can take to help bring justice to Zimbabwe. Add
your name below now--we hope to unveil the petition in Southern Africa
before next week!
