Africa to be subject of UMFK presentation

FORT KENT — “Africa in the 21st Century” will be discussed by two speakers from the 1997 Africa Peace Tour during a University of Maine at Fort Kent International Performers Series at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Mouny Berrah, a former journalist in Algeria, and Josie Caetano, a former Mozambique activist who is teaching in California, will discuss the U.S. policy toward Africa, development, arms production, trade, peace and diplomacy on the continent.

They will discuss where the continent is, where it wants to be and what it will take to get it there in the 21st century.

The 1997 African Peace Tour features more than 15 presenters traveling through the United States to bring African issues to light.
