The host of the World Social Forum on Migration (WSFM) in 2014 has been announced: It will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa. After the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) taking place in Mauritius 10 days ago, this will mark another major meeting on migration to be held for the first time in Africa. And that’s not all for Africa:
the “main” World Social Forum that will take place in Tunis 23-28 March 2013 will also highlight the issue of Migration. One of the proposed themes is
The Mediterranean dimension and the rights of migrants: bridges not walls
: “The Mediterranean day will focus on freedom of movement, migrants’ and asylum seekers’ rights. The arrival of the Flottilla Boats 4 people will be a moment to express and show solidarity with undocumented migrants and missing migrants who disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as to demand freedom of movement and the implementation of migrants rights.”

Dear Philip Fazal Masih, my reply to you is pretty much the same as the one to Felix Owuonda above – I am not involved in the organizations of these Events but I provide up-to-date Information as soon as it gets available and report from them if I manage to participate. So, if you subscribe to the blog you will be informed immediately once new Information is posted.
One clarification: Johannesburg is in South Africa, so this is where the conference will take place.
