Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to this edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. We will feature our regular PANW report with dispatches on the recent talks between South African President Jacob Zuma and his Zimbabwe counterpart Robert Mugabe over the development of trade regulations between the two countries; President Zuma of South Africa has given an address in response to the release of a report on "state capture" saying he rejects the legalization of politics and does not fear going to prison since he spent many years there during the era of apartheid; the Turkish government has continued its crackdown on opponents with the arrests of several leading Kurdish politicians; and Saudi Arabia is rejecting any responsibility for the damage done in its 20-month old war in neighboring Yemen. In the second and third hours we continue last month's focus on the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense with a rare archival audio file of an interview with Chairman Bobby Seale during his time in prison in 1969. Also the Detroit counterpart to the BPPSD, the League of Revolutionary Black Workers (LRBW), made a tremendous contribution to the theory and practice of African American liberation during the late 1960s and early 1970s. We will hear some of the leading voices of the League including John Watson, Ken Cockrel, Sr., Ron March and others.
