You know, there's a Swedish relative, simultaneously an old friend of mine (famous journalist) who was sitting in a hotel I think it was in Bangkok, and sending reports about goings-on in Vietnam...
Give the devil his due, but there's nothing to get excited about the sort of primer you're talking about, not even for Dr. Watson. I zapped through his buk in less than 60 minutes and found major holes in it. Nota bene:This is the 400 year anniversary of William Shakespeare who also wrote many books, quality books and sonnets.
No doubt about it, Sweden - exemplary Sweden put money where the mouth is and was morally, the leading European force against Apartheid in the Western hemisphere. Didn't the US consider the ANC a terrorist organization up to 1990?
The Swedish Anti-Apartheid movement is an old one. Smoke him out?Has he ever heard of someone called Lindiwe Mabusa ? Scores of actors here. I said scores! Last night for example Madi Grey was at the meeting.
Although I was in Nigeria 1981-84 (smile) and I'm not the kind of guy who writes"JIHAD" on his forehead and go strolling past the counter-terrorism headquarters in New York City, I have otherwise followed Sweden-South Africa relations closely since arriving in Sweden for the second time in 1971 – up to today Thursday 21st April 2016 – when I talked for an hour this morning with the former SWAPO ( Namibia) representative in Sweden after writing a short note to "Palme's Secret Agent", also, this morning.( Olof Palme was gunned down just a few days after he had addressed an anti-Apartheid meeting and his secret agent believes that the bastards must have done it. She also thinks that someone else should have got the Noble Prize instead of Tutu. You want to know who?
There is a difference between the Social Democratic Government of Sweden and other governments during the period under our purview. Last night one of the ladies that delivered from the floor (and like the other three had been working in South Africa) took up the matter of aid that could not get through to e.g. certain culture groups, because of the boycott...
Bangura could have done well to have got in touch with some of the major actors on the ground both here in Sweden and over there in South Africa, instead of depending mainly on second hand sources, newspaper gossip and some obsolete Google links. He could have also spent some time in researching the link between trade unionism in Sweden and in South Africa and all that that implied in real terms - I took up some of these matters in the Leonenet forum…

Yesterday evening at the Art Gallery in Tensta Stockholm, in a very compact 45 minutes, Anita Jansson summed up the Swedish anti-Apartheid Movement's contribution to fighting Apartheid and also gave some insights into the history of the Africa groups solidarity work in the same struggle.
Birgitta Karlström Dorp also known as "Palme's Secret Agent" also spoke briefly of her work in South Africa in the early 1980s when the small Swedish embassy in South Africa, manned by only three people clandestinely distributed approximately a billion Swedish Kronor to various anti Apartheid groups in South Africa...
