Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. Feb. 6, 2022 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the 35th Ordinary Summit of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where a debate on the controversial observer status granted to the state of Israel last year by the AU Commission Chair was suspended; Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has once again put forward the demand for a permanent seat for the African continent on the United Nations Security Council; the regional Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in East Africa says it will appoint an envoy to the Republic of Sudan; and a statue erected in France honoring a 19th century Algerian anti-colonial freedom fighter has already been damaged. In the second hour we continue our commemoration of African American History Month with a reexamination of the life, times and contributions of journalist, educator and organizer Ida B. Wells-Barnett. We then look in-depth at the proceeding of the ongoing AU Summit in Ethiopia.
