| Recently, a few articles in the press outlined the tension in America between the African Americans and African immigrants from the continent and from the Carribean. With a rate of about 50,000 legal African immigrants arriving in the US yearly, it is important for us as a collective to reinforce our global African unity as well as work together for mutual benefit. All blacks, whether from the continent or in the Diaspora are victims of global white-supremacy and have been conditioned to look at each other suspiciously and focus on our differences rather than the common elements of our extended family as well as see creative opportunities for all of us to benefit from our cooperation. continue> |

| Some
of our tension and suspicions originate from old historical mistakes
and resentments, cultural differences and social-political, economic
experiences as well as unique interests, problems and priorities. The
inclusion of the African Diaspora as an important part of the African
Union came as a positive step towards the effectiveness and
meaningfulness of the African Union.
Last
October, the AU Commission convened the 'First Conference of
Intellectuals of African and the Diaspora in Senegal. The themes of the
conference included Pan-Africanism, contribution of the intellectuals
from Africa & the Diaspora to the strengthening of African
Integration in the 21st Century, the relationship between
Africa and its Diaspora, etc. |
