LaRouche Youth Movement leader in Germany, Portia Tarumbwa-Strid, addressed a conference of the Civil Rights Solidarity Movement (BüSo) in Berlin. It is a moral failure, she said, that Europe did not heed the call of the summit of the Non-Aligned Nations at Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 1976, which demanded debt moratoria and Western investment to develop the former colonial world.
