You said: “ Africans on the continent should not expect ‘Africa oriented Diasporan Africans’ to take sides in their local disputes without affected sides showing interest in our objectives. Without sides demonstrating a willingness to cooperate with us to do what is in the best interest of all Africans on and off the continent, we cannot take sides. “

If different groups of African peoples organize resistance to capitalism and the pro-capitalist ruling elite on their own in their own respective countries because other Africans in other countries pay any attention to their struggle, so themselves also feel not concerned about other black peoples struggle, where is the Pan-Africanism in that you support? To you what is the basis of Pan-Africanism? Is it national self-interest or a powerful call to Black unity?

You said: “They really cannot hold us Diasporan Africans responsible for their ignorance and willingness to kill each other.”

You can’t dismiss western covert operations responsible for achieving the defeat of progressive populist movements, revolutionary leaders and scholars. It is western sabotage, demolition and subversive measures that are responsible for the systematic campaign of smashing hope and integrity in Africa. True, the continentals Africans are responsible for their own development, peace, and security. In fact, in many cases the Euro-American allies are not the sole oppressors, but to first condemn continentals Africans is to perpetuate racist and stereotypical representations of us because it is primarily the paramilitary operations of Euro-US that promote civil wars, ethnic turmoil, genocides and political instability in the Motherland..

We both know that in order to gain access to my country natural resources, the US itself don’t camouflage of providing intelligence and military on both sides of the war in the DRC. So don't you think we should primarily call into question the commitment of western powers to destabilize Africa, not continental Africans?
