NYC Emergency Forum on American Led War on Africa

 

Jamaica, NY. As the African Union continues the call for foreign intervention to halt in Libya , Africa, African Diaspora leaders are planning to meet in Jamaica , NY in an emergency forum called “ Africa is Burning”. The forum will be addressed by Dr. Molefi K. Asante, a leader of Afrocentricity International and a member of WADU Executive Support Council. The meeting is a response to the assault against Libya by U.S./European powers to promote their economic interests in Africa, to undermine the African Union attempt to establish a unified self-determined Africa and to promote European way of life as the supreme over other peoples of the world.

 

The forum will also give a frank assessment of the American led war against Africa . The U.S. is also conducting other major military campaigns against other Black and Brown people in the world with former Western colonial powers. America with its longstanding slavery and colonial experiences and now with a Black President should be a model for the struggle for justice in the world. However, it continues to trample on the rights of weaker nations of the world with the full activation of the modern high tech Anglo-American war machine. Like the slave raids on Africa over several centuries, this war driven to promote the interests of corporate greed, will continue over for years to send children of former enslaved Africans and the sons and daughters of Europe, to fight unjust wars in Africa and other parts of the world.

 

The attack on Africa was supported by key members of United Nations Security Council which is dominated by former colonial powers such as the U.S. , Europe , members of the Arab League and a few unfortunate members of the African Union. The Security Council resolution which called for a no-fly-zone is a cover for the European military to implement their longstanding plan to reenter Africa to disrupt, divide and dominate key resource areas of Africa as a way to facilitate the reestablishment of their empire loss after committing genocide against each other during WW11. Unlike, the 19^th century nationalist dogmatic and ravenous crave for wealth that drove them to self-destruct in both World War 1 and WW11, they are now unified in the 21^st century as one powerful European capitalist block.

 

The meeting organize by WADU-NY is to continue in the tradition and exemplary leadership provided by the Pan African Movement after the formal ending of chattel slavery over a century ago. Pan Africnaists have consistently fought unconditionally to support to our African Motherland to promote human rights, justice and freedom. Early African nationalist leaders such as Reverend Henry Highland Garnet, Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, Dr. Martin Delaney M.D., and Harriet Tubman are examples of those who fought in the American Civil War to end chattel slavery. They and those like Booker T. Washington, Dr. WEB Dubois and Reverend Edward Blyden initiated the Pan African Movement following the formal enslavement of Africans in the late 19^th century.

 

The meeting in NYC is also a follow-up to the recent emergency meeting by key Pan African leaders in Georgia and other parts of the world. Pan African Diaspora leaders are calling for the following actions to be implemented: 1. Immediate cessation of military assault on Libya by air, land and sea; 2. implement the United States of Africa and the African High Command as a Pan African government and military command and control structure for the full integration and protection of Africa; 3. All people of goodwill and Black communities to engage in continuous civil actions and mass demonstrations across the world against the military invasion of Libya as a priority phase for the re-colonization of Africa; 4. African Union leaders to eliminate all foreign military bases, including Africom and other European bases in Africa; and 5. The African Diaspora community leaders are urging the African Union to implement plans for the African Diaspora to gain dual-citizenship as a way to strengthen the resolve of the African Diaspora to invest and promote a sustainable and empowered 21^st century Africa.

 

Other leaders like Omowale Clay of December the 12^th Movement will participate and a representative from the African Union is also invited to update the Diaspora at this forum.
