forward from Sara Mills: IGALA 4 conference Fes, Morocco

[Mary Bucholtz]

IGALA 4 conference Fes, Morocco

As many of you know, the IGALA4 conference was planned to be held in Fes,
Morocco in 2006, and the planning for this was at a fairly advanced stage.
However, unfortunately, we have run into some institutional and political
difficulties with holding the conference in Fes, due to the continuing
conflict over Palestine and political sensibilities about this within
Morocco.  It is for this reason that, very regretfully,  we are having to
change the venue for the conference and we will send you more information
about the new location and date in due course.  On behalf of the IGALA
executive I would like to extend our thanks to Fatima Sadiqi the organiser
of the conference who has put so much into the planning and organisation of
this conference so far and we hope that at some stage in the future it will
be possible to hold the conference in Morocco.
