Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Aug. 11, 2019 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azkiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on two statements of solidarity issued by the South African Communist Party (SACP) related to the role of United States towards the Republic of Cuba and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela; Angola and Kenya are discussing the potential for enhancing their economic relations; a number of African leaders have witnessed the signing of a peace agreement between the ruling FRELIMO party in Mozambique and its longtime adversaries of RENAMO; finally an editorial published in the Zimbabwe Sunday Mail says that the Chimurenga spirit is alive and well inside this Southern African state. In the second and third hours we begin a monthlong focus on Black August, a commemoration of the resistance history of African people from slavery and colonialism to settler-colonialism, imperialism and neo-colonialism. We look back at the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1804 through the lens of Caribbean-born historian CLR James. Later we reexamine the role of British imperialism in the spread of slavery and colonialism.
