Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Aug. 26, 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 upcoming national elections in the Southern African state of Botswana; the Southern African Development Community (SADC) will be tackling the current political crisis in Comoros Islands; the government in the Republic of Namibia will be negotiations surrounding land redistribution in the next few months; and the newly-inaugurated head-of-state of the Republic of Zimbabwe, President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has appealed to opposition forces to work towards the building of the country. In the second hour we continue our focus on Black August with a rare archival audio file on the character of political repression leveled against the Black Panther Party some five decades ago. Finally we look back at the national independence struggle in Namibia where on this date (Aug. 26) of 1966 the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN) began its armed struggle against the racist apartheid regime then occupying the country.
