Faux Akymanah. Panafricanism is not solely the connection with our ancient African cultures and trappings. It is, IMO, the ability to genuinely connect with the various African peoples worldwide. That is the central base of power for all black peoples. Black Diasporas are ignorant about the Motherland because they feel they are not related to it! They are the most devoid the common sense of sympathy and empathy to the sad victims of systematic genocide in black Africa today. There is no "Panafricanism" in that! In terms of paucity, the violence, and wars in Africa, American and European governmental secret services and U.S military destabilize Africa any “conscious” black Diaspora or Africa person knows that. So I realize that the black Diaspora and the world don’t care about the suffering of any people of Africa. Black Diaspora is paying more attention to Iraqis, Afghans, Kurds, and the Palestinians warfare with criticism of US policy. They act with conscience of opinion because they are interested in them. We know how the western world has destroyed the minds of the prodigal sons and daughters that refuse to come back home to the land of their traditions. They are scared they see no hope in Africa. The plain truth is nobody likes human rights abuses and awful misery. It is only the truth. Peace.
