Africa Groups of Sweden (AGS) / Afrikagrupperna
Sweden
The AGS was formed in 1974 by several local Africa groups, some of them already active in the early 1960s. It gave unconditional support to the liberation struggle. It began its work by supporting the struggles in the Portuguese colonies and continued to work on Southern Africa lobbying the Swedish government to institute sanctions. It initiated the establishment of ISAK. It ended its activities in 1992 and was re-constituted as the Network Southern Africa / Nätverk Södra Afrika.
The Archive and Library of the Swedish Labour Movement holds the entire archive of the organisation covering the period 1974-1992
A substantial photo collection, covering the period 1970-2003 is held by the organisation itself.
