Great Success
With the participation of 60 trade union leaders from 37 countries, the 2nd PAN-AFRICAN WFTU Affiliates and Friends Meeting was held on February 4-6 2013, in Khartoum, capital of Sudan.
The large attendance, the open, democratic dialogue, the criticism and self-criticism, the quality of the debates and the resolutions confirm the rising course of the WFTU and its dynamic presence in Africa.
The prestige of the WFTU, the proper arrangements made by SWTUF and the militancy of the class oriented trade unions from the African continent provides with a new optimism our coming struggles.
The family of the WFTU is constantly growing and constantly getting stronger; constantly, new affiliates are joining us.
The documents, the resolutions and the Action Plan for Africa 2013-2014 that were voted are rich and will defend the rights of the ordinary people of Africa against the exploitation and the plundering of the wealth-producing resources by the capitalists and the capital.
The WFTU thanks all those who took part in this important meeting and pledges that it will continue the joint efforts and will stay firm on the side of the Working Class of Africa until the final victory.
