[WSIS CS-Plenary] Re: [Africa-CS-WSIS]WSIS, Civil Society and Multi-Stakeholderism

[djilali benamrane]

In my point of view, as long as the CS has not find
the way to ensure tis financial independancy, the CS
will be dependant on ether Governments, or
international inter-governmental organisations (IGO)
including the UN system, or private sector operators.
As long as we are dependant, we do have to identify 
our alliers... there is a French proverbe saying
better to deal with God better than with its
servants... it means that we have to try not to be
eaten by the private sector if we are not already
eaten. My speech will be different when the CS will
meet her financial independancy and it is suitable,
feasible and possible.
De mon point de vue, la société civile a un lourd
handicap celui d'être totalement dépendante
financièrement parlant.
Tant que durera cette dépendance autant dépendre de
dieu plutôt que de ses saints... dieu ici se sont les
Gouvernements et le diable anime les opérateurs du
secteur privé... prenons nos distances et évitons
d'être avaler par ce secteur privé devastateur.
Mon discours sera autre le jour où nous trouvons la
solution de notre autonomie financière et cela est
possible, faisable et souhaitable.
Amitiés
