Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to this edition of the Pan-African Journal hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. We feature our regular PANW reports with dispatches on developments involving the November 20 attacks in Bamako that resulted in over two dozens deaths in the West African state of Mali; anti-racist demonstrations struck the city of Minneapolis this week where an African American youth was killed by the police; student anti-racist demonstrations are continuing throughout the United States after initial actions were held at the University of Missouri at Columbia two weeks ago; and a former police officer in the Detroit area was convicted in the severe beating of UAW member Floyd Dent. In the second hour we look at the historical developments surrounding the current conflict in Mali where regional divisions as well as U.S. and French interventions have worsened instability and violence over the last four years. Finally we examine the Movement for Black Lives spreading rapidly across campuses through an audio file of a broadcast from November 20.
