Walk of suffering

As part of Refugee week, the former chair of Derby Refugee Action Emmanueal Neba Fuh is walking from Derby through the East Midland and then on to Number 10 to present a million signature petition to highlight human rights violations in Africa. Doign the walk barefoot draws attention to the conditions which many Africans have endured in nations where corruption and effective dictatorship have led to widening disparities in wealth, fear and hunger which have driven processes of displacement. On the walk he has been joined by local activists and supporters, including members of the Making the connections network. see: http://www.derbyforafrica.org/Barefoot_Walk_to_London_About.aspx for more details - and hopefully the national press too.
