• Demands Asian Peasant Coalition
As Cancun prepares to host the 5th Ministerial of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in September, thousands of peasants from different organisations under the Asian Peasant Coalition (APC) forge solidarity with peasants worldwide by launching massive protest actions in different cities in Asia demanding their governments to get out of the WTO. Indian peasants and agricultural workers belonging to the Federation of Agricultural Workers and Marginal Farmers Union (APVVU), one of the convenors of the APC, have joined forces with other people's organisations demanding the Indian government to quit WTO. Huge rallies of peasants and other mass movements will take place in all district headquarters and state capitals in India on September 4. While Nepal is yet to be a member of the WTO, Nepalese peasant organisations are gearing up for its onslaught on their agriculture. The strong All Nepal Peasants Association (ANPA), one of the primary convenors of the APC, has joined hands with other peasant organisations in Nepal to protest its government's decision to join the WTO. A huge anti-WTO and globalisation rally of peasants and other mass organisations will take place on September 4 and 9 in Kathmandu. For more information,
