Bad news from the Cairo Conference Organisers in Egypt. Unfortunately the annual anti-imperialist conference will be cancelled this year. Despite their determined efforts to secure a venue, even to the extent of having reserved a second location and kept it unannounced, state security has managed to sabotage the conference by threatening any venue willing to host it.
There will be a fuller public statement shortly on behalf of the organising committee explaining the situation.
However, if activists decide that they still would like to travel to Cairo, if they have non-refundable tickets or for other reasons, the Cairo organising committee will be holding a number of coordination meetings for consultation and planning. There may also be other activities depending on the profile/interests of those who will be coming.
This is obviously a serious set-back for those organising in Cairo.
