NEW ‘BLACK FACE’ ATTACK ON TRAORÉ
On 4 June 1962, revolutionary pan-African leader and first president of Ghana Kwame Nkrumah (1909-1972) spoke about skinfolk who betray the struggle for liberation. During a conference in Accra for African freedom fighters, he said that imperialists ‘operate from European and African centres, using agents who I am ashamed to say, are often unpatriotic sons of Africa.’ He added that they buy ‘personal satisfactions with the betrayal of their countries’ safety and integrity.’ These words remain as relevant today as they were over 60 years ago. African Stream’s @Sannario_ looks at the latest hit job against Burkina Faso’s president Ibrahim Traoré - penned by an African hand attached to imperialist strings.

On Malcolm X’s 100th birthday, we honor a global freedom fighter. In the final chapter of his life, he made the bold case to the United Nations that the fight for Black justice in America was part of a worldwide movement for dignity and liberation. We must carry forward Malcolm’s mission — at home and in solidarity with the oppressed worldwide. This day is a powerful reminder that the fight for justice, equity & truth is far from over.

“I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” — Minister Malcolm X
He was born 100 years ago today.
Rest in power.
