Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 9, 2021 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the attempted right-wing coup at the United States Capitol Building earlier in the week; Zimbabwe is experiencing a rise in COVID-19 pandemic infections; Ethiopia says it has captured and killed several leading members of the TPLF in the north of the country; and Sudan signed a loan agreement with the U.S. government in the aftermath of being delisted as a state sponsor of terrorism. In the second hour we look in detail at recent violent events in Washington D.C. where thousands of supporters of the outgoing administration laid siege on the Capitol. We also listen to a statement and interview with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa commemorating the 109th anniversary of the founding of the African National Congress (ANC). Finally, there is a briefing by World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus discussing the pandemic and other relevant global health issues.
