Forum des peuples
The Forum des peuples is an annual demonstration organized since 2002 in Mali by the Coalition des alternatives africaines dettes et développement (CAD-Mali) joining together the alter-globalists of the developing countries.
Joined together at the same time as the G8-summits, the Forum des peuples wants to be a "popular space of education, of exchanges, of communication, of information, and of citizen actions". Furthermore, the Forum des peuples wants to come up with alternatives for the neo-liberal universe.
