Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez led a rally against imperialism at the World Social Forum, telling thousands of activists they must unite their distinct causes to defeat the US “empire.” Mr Chavez urged activists to “take up the work of a great international anti-imperialist front to do battle in the whole world. We have to bring together all our causes. Unity, unity, unity! We can only do it united,” Mr Chavez said to rousing applause in a Caracas coliseum on Friday.

Sheehan hailed

The crowd went wild as Mr Chavez stepped on stage, and they kept cheering when he hugged American peace activis Cindy Sheehan before launching into a fierce attack on US President George W Bush's government.

“A kiss for you, brave woman,” Mr Chavez said as he introduced Sheehan, who is the mother of a US soldier killed in Iraq and who gained international attention when she set up a protest camp near Bush's ranch in Texas last year.
