DESCRIPTION:NATO expands into Africa as US bullies the continent into more 
 militarism.\n\nSince the end of the last century with the fall of the 
 Berlin Wall and the disappearance of the Soviet Union, NATO is on the move. 
 Its “out of area” military operation in Afghanistan in 2011, lasted for 
 20 years. Since 1994 the African countries Algeria, Egypt, Mauritania, 
 Morocco and Tunisia are together with Israel and Jordan in the NATO 
 partnership program Mediterranean Dialog (MD) NATO. Thus began a “Global 
 NATO,” project to use the NATO military alliance beyond its own charter 
 obligations from the South China Sea to the Caribbean Sea forwarded to 
 Australia.\n\nAfrica’s long anti-colonial  history with its giant leaps 
 forward with infrastructure and development are now being challenged by the 
 re-entry of NATO and its ensuing military infrastructure throughout the 
 continent.  Global Women for Peace/ United Against NATO (GWUAN) and MAPA 
 present the first in a series of webinars on the terrible cost of 
 militarism around the world.  Women from Africa will share their experience 
 and concerns about these military developments in their societies, 
 countries and the continent.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n– Cyrille Rolande Bechon – 
 Nouveaux Droits de l’Homme Cameroun; member, International Peace Bureau 
 Council \n\n– Phakamile Hlubi-Majola – spokesperson for the South 
 African Union NUMSA (Metal Workers) \n    \n\n– Mikaela Nhondo Erskog  
 – researcher Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, a network of 
 research institutes in the Global South \n
