Hunger strikes in various provinces to demand the cancellation of oil price rise have succeeded in gaining broad sympathy from students and people living near the hunger strike posts. These posts put up banners titled "nationalise mining industries, repudiate foreign debt and leave any government that is pro-foreign interest (Golkar Dan Demokrat party)" received good responses.

PermalinkI think we need to gather news and especially analysis of this global food crisis. I suggest we create a series of threads on <a href="/http://z11.invisionfree.com/Kasama_Threads/index.php?s=7510bf8b06b7358ccabd1b9f0d217347&showforum=2" rel="nofollow">Kasama Threads</a> where each of us posts what we uncover.
