03/19/2005 Il convegno "L'Africa in piedi in aiuto all'Occidente", in corso in questi giorni presso l'Università di Ancona, "è uno dei pochi incontri in cui gli italiani più che parlare ascoltano gli africani" - afferma Eugenio Melandri, coordinatore nazionale della campagna 'Chiama l'Africa', impegnata con altri organismi e enti umanitari nel proporre un'immagine del continente diversa da quella tradizionalmente diffusa dai media. La solidarietà ha guidato la discussione odierna, a partire dal riconoscimento dell'essere africano come uomo e donna adulti, in grado di soddisfare i propri bisogni, per primo l'autosufficienza alimentare, per continuare per il riappropriarsi del proprio sapere. Domani la chiusura del convegno.
