Footage from the first Pan-African Cultural Festival in Algiers, c. 1969. The ANC and FRELIMO were filmed in attendance. One of the placards reads “Long Live the Organization of African Unity (OAU).”

Democratic Yemen remains one of the twentieth century's least studied and least understood experiments of socialist state building.

We at Hamra Books intend to change that.

@oumarou_rahim Thank you! Ay jara Dagaaba cine no. It's not a common ancestry in the Upper West, to my knowledge. I think the Northern Ghanaians with Malian roots are mostly Mande.

Nkrumah’s Class Struggle in Africa is a great counterpoint to those who push the line that developmentalism & geopolitical multipolarity are the same as global class struggle. When someone who once pushed that line then wrote about the pitfalls of it, shouldn’t you listen?

I have seen a surge of (fake) Twitter "experts" on Sahel, JNIM, Tuaregs etc that I have never seen in 17 years on this Platform. Not even in 2012.
God help us !

Ça commence à essentialiser les Touaregs comme ça essentialisait les Kurdes lors des conflits syrien et irakien. Impossible pour certains "analystes" de concevoir qu’un même peuple peut être traversé par plusieurs dynamiques, orientation, objectifs politiques en son sein

Keita's marxist leanings may have been the reason he put an end to feudalist relations in Northern Mali post-independence but obviously what lingers are the consequences of dissolving the OCRS (upon other blunders). Mali's unitary statehood and aversion to autonomy since its inception aren't applications of a materialist understanding of nationalism. To look at the multiple rebellions in the North as balkanisation and jihad alone is lazy, especially when the disparity between rural and urban centres are what they are.

❗️ Le groupe Wagner annonce la fin de sa mission au Mali

"Nous avons éliminé des milliers de terroristes et leurs commandants qui ont terrorisé la population civile pendant des années… Et nous avons accompli la tâche principale: toutes les capitales régionales sont revenues sous le contrôle des autorités légitimes. La mission est accomplie", indique leur communiqué.

@fuutaanke19 I know! There are also no criticisms of the AES and no room for them either. They take attacks on Fulani, Tuareg and Arab communities as wins against "terrorism" but it comes across more like it advances their vision of racial hygiene.

C'est malheureux mais tu as raison. Ils ont divorcée le panafricanisme de sa racines en marxisme et crée une monstre haineux.

[Geelel 🏔️🧪 @fuutaanke19]

Le panafricanisme, en tout cas dans sa forme la plus mainstream aujourd’hui, je me sens pas du tout représenté par ce mouvement plein de haineux et de tribalistes

By far … There's a huge void in the movement now -- especially considering what we're witnessing with Carney. First Nations have already started blockades in Québec and Ford's Bill 5 is stirring up workers/Indigenous people alike. It would've been helpful to have a more coherent party address this.

@Yeah0419 It's a shame! I dearly miss the PCR-RCP of old, however.
