Yesterday in Copenhagen, where leaders have come together to discuss the fate of the climate, lead G77 negotiator, Lumumba Di-Aping of Sudan, broke down in tears. To a small group of press and civil society supporters, he divulged that many African negotiators, pressured by developeing countries, and some succumbing to their own self-interest, were ready to sign a weak deal.
African civil society leaders took action inside the Bella Center, chanting and making noise so that negotiators in Copenhagen would hear them. See http://350.org for more information.
The rich nations benefit from the use of fossil fuels, the poorest nations stand to lose the most from climate change. Sad, truly sad.
Raise your voice Africa... there are people living in these rich nations who stand with you!!!
