Comboni Message from the World Social Forum 2015. “After two years, the World Social Forum (WSF) has returned to Tunis in a context of growing instability and violence in North African Countries and the Middle East. The WSF set out to be a sign of peace and hope for the process of the “Arab Spring” which has been threatened by terrorism and runs the risk of being perverted by religious fundamentalism and repressive governments. The WSF participants have repudiated “every form of terrorism”, including the arrogance of militarism and the systemic violence of a homicidal economy.” […]

We are approaching the end of the World Social Forum 2015 in Tunis. The chilly and windy weather disturbed the participation and the attendance to the different conferences and this was affected by the unfavorable atmospheric condition, but as Comboni Network we tried our best to be present in them. The World Social Forum ends today with the assemblies of convergence and the March final in the afternoon. Tomorrow, the day will be dedicated to the Comboni Forum that aims to share the challenges that the WSF present to the missionary pastoral activity in the countries and continents where they minister.

Il Forum dell’orgoglio tunisino. Non proprio «globale», essenzialmente maghrebino, molto di base, il Forum sociale mondiale che si conclude oggi, dopo tre giorni di workshop, incontri e manifestazioni, ha mostrato soprattutto un’anima tunisina. Un’anima ferita dall’attentato al Museo del Bardo dello scorso 18 marzo, solidale con le vittime e i loro familiari, ma anche un’anima fiera di essere riuscita a reagire e mostrare al mondo che almeno un’“altra” Tunisia è possibile. Non quella degli islamisti e dei terroristi. Ma quella di un popolo che ha voglia di guardare avanti con fiducia e senza paura. [Avvenire.it: di Anna Pozzi]
