AA News February 1989

AA News launched the AAM’s ‘Boycott Apartheid 89’ campaign, calling for a new drive for sanctions against South Africa and a people’s boycott of all apartheid goods. The campaign would target Shell, gold and coal imports and tourism. The newspaper again warned about South Africa’s attempts to undermine Namibian independence and called for support for the AAM’s ‘Free Namibia Now’ lobby of the British parliament on 7 December. It highlighted the emergence of a radical Muslim grouping aligned with the mass democratic movement in South Africa. The newspaper publicised the March Month of Action on Women organised by the AAM Women’s Committee.
