Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Bandung-Belgrade-Havana Conference is rescheduled from October 25-30, 2021 to November 7-14, 2022. By chance, Indonesia is the president of G20 from December 1, 2021 to November 30, 2022, and the 17th G20 Summit will take place in Bali on November 15-16, 2022. So, it would be historical for the Bandung Spirit Network of Scholars and Activists of Social Movements that its conference is to take place at the proximity in space and time of the G20 Summit.

LA FRANCE ET BANDUNG

Mercredi 20 janvier 2021, par DK // PUBLICATION

Darwis Khudori, La France et Bandung : les batailles diplomatiques entre la France, l’Afrique du Nord et l’Indochine en Indonésie (1950-1955). Avec une préface de Hugues Tertrais. Paris, Les Indes Savantes, 2021, 16x24 cm, 310 pages, ISBN : 978-2-84654-541-9
La France a été très concernée par la Conférence de Bandung car cette réunion afro-asiatique devait discuter des problèmes et des intérêts communs en Afrique et en Asie dans les domaines économiques, sociaux et culturels, mais aussi en matière de souveraineté nationale, de colonialisme et de racisme. Et cette réunion était organisée sans impliquer les puissances coloniales, dont la France. Cependant, à la veille de la Conférence, la France a été impliquée dans deux problèmes coloniaux épineux. L’un est l’Afrique du Nord dont les entités territoriales (Algérie, Maroc, Tunisie) se sont engagées ensemble dans des mouvements de libération nationale contre l’occupation coloniale française.

22/04 — LA DETTE AFRICAINE - Communiqué de la Ligue Panafricaine - UMOJA

A l’heure où l’humanité entière est en train de réaliser ses limites et son extrême fragilité face à la pandémie du COVID-19, l’on aurait pu s’attendre à plus d’humilité de la part des spécialistes du mensonge international.

L’affront lancé au monde par cette pandémie doit nous inciter à opérer des changements substantiels de paradigme et du mode de société que nous voulons. Au contraire, c’est avec stupéfaction que les dirigeants du monde dominant se sont illustrés par une valse de déclarations cacophoniques et tonitruantes au sujet de la Dette africaine destinées à «aider» l’Afrique à faire face au ravage annoncé du COVID-19, en appelant, tantôt à l’annulation des intérêts de la Dette, tantôt à une annulation massive de la Dette ou pour d’autres à un moratoire sur les remboursements en cours.

17/08 — SAMIR AMIN HAS JUST LEFT US PHYSICALLY

A source of fundamental references of our Bandung Spirit-based Academic, Social and Solidarity Movements, SAMIR AMIN, has just left us "physically" on August 12, 2018 - "physically" because his numerous works continue to guide us "intellectually" in our movements. He was involved in our movements since the setting-up of Bandung Spirit Network in 2005. See my article "Towards a Bandung spirit-based civil society movement: reflection from Yogyakarta commemoration of Bandung Asian-African Conference" (Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, Volume 7, Number 1, 2006). He gave an outstanding contribution to our conference "BANDUNG 60 YEARS ON: WHAT ASSESSMENT?" (The University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, June 27, 2014). His article "From Bandung (1955) to 2015 ; Old and new challenges for the States, the Nations and the Peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America" helped us in framing our commemorative conference "BUILDING SOVEREIGNTY, PREVENTING HEGEMONY: The Challenges for Emerging Forces in the Globalised World" (Jakarta-Bandung-Jakarta, October 27-31, 2015). Here are some tributes written by two members of Bandung+60 Scientific Board, Ama Biney and Ebrima Sall (Darwis Khudori, Paris, August 17, 2018).
