A Pan-Africanist analysis of the United Nations requires that the institution be assessed through a dialectical materialist lens, through the positive and negative aspects of its historical development and current reality. The question is not simply whether the UN is “good” or “bad” in the abstract, but rather: under what conditions has it served as a terrain of struggle for the oppressed and to what extent should African peoples place trust in the United Nations today. . . .

#AfricanLiberationDay: We Unify or We Die
African people’s struggle against oppression, colonialism, zionism, and imperialism is commemorated each year with African Liberation Day. Founded on April 15th,1958 by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, the First Conference of Independent States was held in Accra, Ghana, and attended by eight independent African states. It aimed to create awareness and amplify decolonization struggles and symbolize African nations’ determination to free themselves from foreign domination and exploitation. . . .
