Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Pan-African Journal

Listen to the Sat. May 28, 2022 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This is the first program in our Africa Liberation Weekend series commemorating the 59th anniversary of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the predecessor of today's African Union (AU), founded in 2002. We will feature our PANW report with dispatches on the call by the Chair of the AU, Senegal President Macky Sall, for western states to lift sanctions against the Southern African state of Zimbabwe; Tunisia has placed travel bans on several leading opposition politicians; Algeria is concerned about the security status of the North African state amid escalating jihadist attacks on the continent; and rebels in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have attacked a military base. In the second hour we look at the origins of the Pan-African Movement through the voice of esteemed scholar/activist Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois. We also will listen to discussions around the significance of Africa Day this year related to journalism, economic development and food security. Finally, we hear an address by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the founder of modern Ghana and Africa.
