RA: Interview with Prof. Gene Sharp about methods of nonviolent action & 15+2

Rádio Angola (RA):  We had the honor to interview Professor Gene Sharp, the founder of the Albert Einstein Institution and the author of “From Dictatorship to Democracy,” to discuss the impact of his book around the world and the detention of human rights activists in Angola. Prof. Sharp addressed the applicability of his theory “Nonviolent Action” to defeat dictator around the world. In short, he provided a special message for Angolan young rights defenders (15+2) by encouraging them to continue to be brave, avoid endorsing violence because by doing so they will be helping the ruling regime.
