Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Mon. Aug. 24, 2020 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features a PANW report with dispatches on the rise in COVID-19 cases in the Manicaland province of the Republic of Zimbabwe; the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is predicting a decline of nearly 9 percent in the GDP of the Republic of South Africa; leaders within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are still attempting to negotiate with the military mutineers that staged a coup in the West African state of Mali; and in the United States another urban rebellion has erupted in Kenosha, Wisconsin and an African American, Jacob Blake, 29, was shot seven times in the back by police. In the second hour we continue our month-long focus on Black August with a look back at the Black Panther Party and the history of state repression. Finally, we listen to a World Health Organization (WHO) briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues by Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
