The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) invites you
to a seminar on

Invasion of Iraq: Effects and consequences for Africa

This seminar aims to stimulate analytical debate of the United States
invasion of Iraq and the impact it is likely to have on Africa. The seminar
will examine this topic from a broad social justice perspective and will
address questions of a possible depletion of aid and trade in Africa, and
the impact of changing global power relations. It will also focus on the
question of what implications the polarisation of the debate around the
Iraq invasion in South Africa is likely to have for violence and
reconciliation. It may also touch on post war scenarios and challenges for
reconstruction, reconciliation and development.

* Salim Vally ­ Stop the War Campaign
Salim Vally is a senior researcher at the Education Policy Unit at
the University of Witwatersrand and the chairperson of the Palestine
Solidarity Committee.
* Speaker from the US Consulate (to be confirmed)
