Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. July 25, 2020 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features a PANW report with dispatches on the recent removal of the Prime Minister of the Horn of Africa nation of Somalia in a parliamentary vote of no-confidence; condolences are pouring in to the East African state of Tanzania where former President Benjamin Mkapa passed away this week; Iran has strongly condemned an aviation incident on July 24 where a United States warplane forced a commercial jet flying over Syria to descend; and a number of experts in the U.S. are advising that the country be placed once again on lockdown in order to stem the rising tide of COVID-19 infections. In the second hour we look at the recent passing of African National Congress (ANC) stalwart and Rivonia trial survivor Andrew Mlangeni in South Africa. President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa has delivered a briefing on the status of the measures to address the pandemic inside the country. We will hear a briefing from World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in Geneva. Finally we review the historic Detroit Black Rebellion of July 1967 on the 53rd anniversary of the event.
