Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. May 20, 2018 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the Egyptian role in the foreign minister's meeting in Algeria to discuss the current security situation in Libya; Sudan President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has met with his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby to work on the development of a free trade zone; South Sudan has put forward the terms for unity talks among the various SPLM factions; and international health organizations are continuing to monitor the new outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the second and third hours we present the next chapter in our monthlong commemoration of the 55th anniversary of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the forerunner of the African Union (AU). We look back at the imperialist plot surrounding the political assassination of Congolese Pan-Africanist leader Patrice Lumumba. Finally we review the intervention of Malcolm X (El Hajj Malik Shabazz) and the-then newly formed Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) in the Congo crisis during 1964.
