According to the Irish Times 'At least 5,000 teachers, parents
and students gathered outside Leinster House this evening to express
their opposition to Government spending cutbacks.' More like 12,000
according to organisers. The response to budget cutbacks have shaken
the political establishent. Opposition though has been mostly
sectional, first pensioners, later on the same day Students and tonight
parents and teachers.

There is an NGO located in the capital of Liberia (Monrovia) called Youth for Community Academic and Development Services (YOCADS). A friend of mine has been in touch with the executive director (called Alphonso Weah) for months now and he is very keen to organize protests on Nov.5th in Liberia.

For
some years the student movement in Colombia has been the victim of
systematic persecution on the part of state agencies (DAS, OTP, CTI,
ESMAD, Army and National Police) and parastatals. In our memory are the
murders of 14 students between the years 2002 to 2006, the many
arrests, disappearances, torture and displacement that in recent years
have been filed against the students, or made subject to such agencies.
