Infosets on the Rise Despite Hardships and Political Unrest

In this issue of World Citizen News, we have two sets of Statements of Importance to share with you, from Infosets in Ethiopia and Nigeria.

Last February in Kembolcha, South Wallo, Ethiopia, 32 students and other world citizens gathered to explore issues about the evolution of world government. As you will read, World Syntegrity has now expanded not only within that village but throughout the region and the country as well. Literally daily, we receive letters from individuals in Ethiopia who express their interest in the WSP and their commitment to a vision of one, peaceful world.

For world citizens in Badagry, Lagos State, Nigeria, the road to their first Infoset was a long, difficult one, fraught with political, logistical, and economic roadblocks. With Nigeria under military rule, "there was serious tension everywhere," said the Infoset's organizer, Mathew Obata, last October. "We have to call off this Syntegration pending when sanity will return." But Obata vowed to host the Infoset before the end of 1995, "because all our scribes and players are waiting for the final words from we, the organizers." Last month, we received the statements from their Infoset, which was indeed held last December.
