Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 28, 2017 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program includes our regular PANW reports with dispatches on the closing of more than 20 schools in the city of Detroit which has been subjected to emergency management and other forms of outside interference for the last 18 years; United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order in defiance of the Indigenous people at Standing Rock to resume construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL); the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has sharply criticized the decision by Trump to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico; and the Egyptian foreign minister has met with his Ethiopian counterpart to discuss the development of the Great Renaissance Dam Project. In the second hour we will rebroadcast a radio lecture by Abayomi Azikiwe from 2014 chronicling the historical crisis of the underdevelopment of the city of Detroit within the context of the continuing attacks on African Americans. Finally we conclude our monthlong tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. examining his opposition to the war in Vietnam.
