I received the following message from my friend Ahmad Zahran<\/a> in London.<\/p>\n

Hello All,
The Marxism conference will start in London this Thursday the 7th of July and will last till the 10th. There will be two very important workshops in the conference that will tackle Egypt, one of them will about Nasser (by Anne Alexander) and the other one about The Struggle for Democracy in the Middle East (Ghassan Makarem, Salah Ayyad and Egyptian activist from Centre for Socialist Studies, Cairo).<\/strong> It will be very important for all those in the UK to try and attend those 2 workshops as it will give a very good background about the situation in Egypt for those who do not know about it.
Guy Tailor has forwarded below the main workshops that touch upon the Arab World issues so give it a read in case you find something of interest. Tickets for the conference are for 15 pounds sterling (for the 5 days), if you want tickets please email Guy.
Please read below for more information and visit http:\/\/www.marxism2006.org.uk\/<\/a> for further information. You can call Guy on +44 79 5668 1328.
