Listen to the Sat. June 1, 2019 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 escalation in fighting around the Libyan capital of Tripoli between the Libyan National Army (LNA) of Khalifa Hafter and the United Nations backed so-called Government of National Accord (GNA) headed by Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj; Malawi has re-elected President Peter Mutharika to serve another term in office; Sudanese head of the Transitional Military Council (TMC), Abdel Fattah al-Berkhane, has met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed in Addis Ababa who said the Horn of Africa state will not interfere in the internal affairs of Khartoum; and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has officially been launched by the African Union (AU). In the second hour we begin our monthlong commemoration of Black Music Month with an examination of the cultural contributions of the legendary Duke Ellington. Finally we look back on the 98th anniversary of the so-called "Tulsa Riot" of 1921 which killed hundreds of African Americans and destroyed Black-owned businesses, churches and homes.
