As the African Union prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary the BBC's Peter Okwoche asks his colleagues at the BBC Africa what Pan-Africanism means to them.
They never once mentioned African American, what are you celebrating? Africans don’t understand the true meaning of all black people around the globe not just the African continent.
You are of course quite right. I like 2nacheki TV for news articles and Pan African Daily TV for some incredibly insightful and in-depth interviews with our modern day great minds.
Marcus garvey should be praised for loveing our people. What pan african means to me Is One African Unity from around the world. To come together as a nation of people. To work together. And Build build Build. No matter if they are from California to New York. Where ever we are pan africanism should be apart of our life's. Instead Of us working for those, Those can be working for us.
@@Free_Snooki no. I never understand that whenever Africans speak of unity and empowering themselves, people have to bring in white supremacy as if to be a pan african is to be anti white. Its ridiculous.
I haven't heard anyone mention the unification of "Africa with the Afro Diaspora" (African Living Worldwide/Descendants of Africa living in countries outside the continent of Africa)
It is overcoming the capital interests that breed wars for profit..the same that in one hand offer aid, and in the other barter our resources for guns at the same time preaching about humanitarianism
Fighting the capital interests is counterproductive and wrong. The capital is merely wishes of millions of people expressed in an impersonal way. Most of the global money come from pension funds and banks -- which effectively means ordinary people. When you take away corruption, capital becomes a great tool for prosperity, both for the global capital as well as the people living in a place. Imagine if Africa suddenly become as rich as Europe. How much buying power, how much market expansion that would mean for the capital? That would be a gold mine for everybody. Look at some post-Soviet countries for an example, say Poland. So it's not the capital per se that wants poor Africa, but it's just a difficult and long project. Like building a gigantic bridge or a skyscrapper, but a couple of orders of magnitude larger. The best way to start African renaissance is to fight corruption, at the same time start building *mutually* beneficial relationships with the global capital.
I am an indian who has researched,taught,supported liberation struggles , including anti apartheid movements in Africa and cities of India,wrote scripts for All India radio Swahili services, translated by the then head,madam Veena Sharma ji besides conducting independence days of certain African states in my univ. Worked also for Indo African states solidarity in my own way.Indeed so excited to learn about an healthy revival of sentiments of Pan African and African diaspora unity . As an indian, afn union and the UN must encourage their respective member states to work on an actionable plan. VITORIA E CERTA.
african elections are always contested the losing part mistrust to fix the problem the losing canidate must become vice president give stability rto election process
I appreciate the premise, however I would be less inclined to seek the views and definitions of those employed by the BBC. Every news article I've seen presented by this corporation of British broadcasting has done very little to highlight the Pan-African perspective, and a great deal to highlight the many social ills faced by a people facing aggressive and constant external influences (IMF, World Bank, European Leaders).
Do you have a wal mart or Costco store. With all that gold a ND diamonds the entire continental should be wealthy .have 4 or five bedroom houses aches of land farms and hearts of animals goog highways and infutructure
As long as they identify as Africans they will be included. North Africa is included by default in the vision of pan-Africa but Indians might struggle. White Africans I believe won't fit.
PAN AFRICANISM 2019 African American ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾👂🏿👂🏽👂🏾💓

Ironically BBC shouldn't be highlighting this! We need our own African media to future such a story

Proud to be African

Is it similar to white supremacy?

@@Free_Snooki no. I never understand that whenever Africans speak of unity and empowering themselves, people have to bring in white supremacy as if to be a pan african is to be anti white. Its ridiculous.
🤣🤣Garvey never stepped foot in Africa! His whole movement was a psyop!
Proud to be black. Pan African afro american

railroad uniting all national capitols in africa
the railroad united the lower 48 states n grew its ecnomy
common currency all african nation not picturing heads of state but the face head of beast but coinage and check system local national currency
Pan Africannism = Sankara/Madiba/Nkrumah/Nyerere as one person
why does the european union need a common currency?? 50 states same dollar
What are you talking about?
instead of head of state the face of beast with coinahe and check system used for national currency
Do you have a wal mart or Costco store. With all that gold a ND diamonds the entire continental should be wealthy .have 4 or five bedroom houses aches of land farms and hearts of animals goog highways and infutructure
😐........I see.
today railroad can run efficent total electric
United States of Africa
Is pan africanism limited to blacks? Or would for example white Moroccans, or Zambians of Indian descent be included?
It's for blacks
As long as they identify as Africans they will be included. North Africa is included by default in the vision of pan-Africa but Indians might struggle. White Africans I believe won't fit.
@@umojapress2857 not brown people then,how black are you,
@@jahvoice5097 To the bone.
@@george4281 no its for black africans and the black diaspora
ok but white supremacy
(ps : if someone is actually here can he help me to synthesize what the pink black woman is saying. its for my homeworks)
think the EU or the dollar a common currency needed in afirca
All these so called proud Africans but are not in Africa 😂😅 these people aren't proud Africans
Whoopsie.
No one is perfect.
