Greetings All.This article is taken from the SRDC (6th Region Diaspora Caucus) website.WE must remember that the African Diaspora does not begin, does not end nor does it revolve around the East Coast of the United States of America.WE must remember that English is not the language of preference for the entire African Diaspora.WE must remember how connected WE must remain by not allowing anyone or anything to cause divisiveness, while embracing the diversity that make up the African Diaspora.Here is a partial clip of the article.

For this purpose African Diaspora Community Councils (ADCC’s) have been set up with the help of South African Embassies. See ‘The African Union (AU) recognises and values its Diaspora’ The African Bulletin, December 2007, www.mediablackberry.com/index.php?oid=4849 which was the enthusiastic beginning, that developed publicly and behind the scenes, extending the ADCC into commissions and even projects. See also ‘ADCC Holland moves ahead!’ The African Bulletin, November 2008, www.mediablackberry.com/index.php?oid=6388 which demonstrated that the commissions formed had developed ideas for projects.For remainder of article go to http://srdcinternational.org/?p=601
