Last week at the World Social Forum in Dakar, Senegal, the African branch of Task Force coordinating committee member Tax Justice Network, Tax Justice Network – Africa (TJN-Africa), released the African edition of Tax Us If You Can.

As Dereje Alemayehu, chair of Tax Justice Network’s African Steering Committee, put it in a blog last week from Dakar:

This report is a clarion call to civil society and governments across Africa to stand up against the injustice of those who dodge taxes, and the response from those attending the launch was clear: this is an injustice we can no longer tolerate.

Or you can read more about the report and the tax justice movement in Africa in Dereje’s blog post.
