PAN-AFRICANIST INTERNATIONAL Dear Esteemed Friend, It gives us so much pleasure to express so sincerely that we have much appreciation for your indefatigable efforts towards the liberation and unification of the African continent. Consequent upon this, we would like to explore with you the possibilities for further collaboration in our common search for common grounds for common actions. The Pan-Africanist International seeks to build a movement that, with your help and support, may soon become a clearing house of information on the identification, defence and advancement of the interests of Main Street Africa. We do this through focusing attention, stimulating reflection, and enhancing informed responses on the following: I. RESPONDING TO REAL AND PRESENT DANGERS II. FACILITATING SELF-MOBILISATION: CHALLENGING DOGMA AND PROPAGANDA III. NETWORKING FOR UNITY AND STRENGTH IV. UPHOLDING THE ENDURING IMPERATIVES OF THE PAN-AFRICANIST STRUGGLE V. CONSOLIDATION OF INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY BETWEEN AFRICANS AND AFRICANS IN THE DIASPORA, AND AFRICA AND THE REST OF WORLD Our group believes that the construction of a new society free from exploitation and oppression has already began with the Arab Spring, the Occupy Wall Street Movements and the growing awareness of our people. We reject the global system of inequality between and within countries. We reject neo-colonial capitalism and all its horrors - poverty, ethnicity, racism, elitism, and the control of our lives by others. On this basis the Pan-Africanist International,(P-AI) promotes solidarity with the peoples of Cuba, of Occupied Palestine, and of Venezuela. We stand together with working people around the world, in their struggles for improved conditions of work and life. We fear that the reckless exploitation of nature and its resources, the expropriation and abuse of what belongs to all the worlds peoples for the private profit of a few, has very dangerous consequences for the survival of humanity, all living organisms and world civilization. The Pan-Africanist International (P-AI) stands and works in solidarity and comradeship with all those engaged in struggles for the sustainable and equitable use of nature and its resources; for the solution of the economic, social and political problems facing the peoples of the world. We reject Imperialism, now masquerading under a new name -Globalisation. We oppose its neo-liberal agenda driven by its handmaidens - the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the World Trade Organisation (WTO). This agenda allocates costs to the public purse, and hands profits to private interests. It has and continues to widen the gap between the rich and the poor, to subvert the sovereignty and democratic will of peoples and nations everywhere. Through Debt, Unfair Trade and Corruption these agencies facilitate the looting of the resources of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, for the benefit of a few principals in the developed imperialist economies, and their local agents. Everywhere and always, Imperialism and the control of the lives of others - generates poverty, misery, squalor and oppression for the overwhelming majority of the toiling masses. The Social Media Outreach of the Pan-Africanist International (P-AI) avail ourselves of this opportunity, to extend to the AFRICA FOR AFRICAN A.A the assurances of our highest consideration and welcome you to our website. It is our hope that together we can share ideas, and work to improve our world in the best interest of its peoples. Your comments and enquiries are welcome. We live in a very exciting moment of history in the struggle for the continental emancipation of Africa. As Hamid Dabashi puts it, “I think the ability of the people, the democratic will of the people to generate and sustain information and globalize it is far more important than secret wheelings and dealings between the powers that be.” It is for this reason we need each other more than ever before! For Life, the Environment, and Social Justice!
