Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Aug. 11, 2018 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 declining price of cocoa in the West African state of Ghana; some 17 Nigerian soldiers were killed by the Boko Haram group in Borno state; the Togolese government has released a number of opposition activists in an effort to restart talks on reaching a political settlement inside the country; Cameroon's political crisis in deepening in the run-up to national elections. In the second and third hours we continue our monthlong focus on Black August with a rare archival interview of African American resistance historian Herbert Aptheker. Finally we look back five decades at the response to the release of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorder report on the urban rebellions of 1967.
