Boycott or not?

April 1, 2008 at 10:14 am (Tibet)

These days, the debate about Olympic Games in Pekin is turning around the boycott of the opening ceremony by the states’ representatives. During the lightening of the Olympic flame, members of “Reporter sans frontiers” demonstrate their opposition to Tibetan events and they are asking for a boycott.

Such an act would be seen for sure. But would it be efficient? I think a general boycott would be, but we can not ask athletes to miss such a competition. The international Olympic Comity is responsible of this mess.

There is a real conflict and China is closing it very well to our eyes. I think we need to talk about it failing that we don’t see it anymore. Even if talking is wind, let’s do it hoping it will become a storm for Pekin.
