Pan-African Journal: Special Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sun. May 29, 2022 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. This is part two of the African Liberation Weekend. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the announced sanctions by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) government against neighboring Rwanda over the status of rebel attacks in the east of the country; a Sudanese woman, Amira Osman Hamed, has been chosen for a human rights award; the Malawian currency, the Kwacha, decreased 25 percent in value in recent weeks; and the African Union summit discussed the crisis in food security on the continent. In the second hour we look back on the life, times and contributions of Congolese revolutionary leader Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba and the circumstances surrounding his assassination. In addition, we examine the unanswered questions involving the death of former United Nations Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in then then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) in a mysterious airline crash. Finally, we feature an archived audio report on the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in Cuba during April 1961.
