U.S. Hands off South Africa
On Friday, March 21st, in front of the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, the December 12th Movement held a spirited rally opposing the U.S. government’s current attack on South Africa. The rally was called in response to the U.S.’ expulsion of the South African Ambassador to Washington who had suggested that President Trump was encouraging white supremacy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told the South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool that he had to be out of the U.S. by March 21st.
Speakers at the rally defended South Africa, denounced the racist and fascist tactics of the Trump administration and voiced their fervent support of Pan-Africanism. They noted that the U.S.’s contradictions with South Africa were greater than simply the Ambassador’s comments.
They included the fact that :
• the U.S. was outraged that South Africa had taken Israel to the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court for its war crimes and genocide in Gaza
• South Africa was taking legal steps to return the land stolen by the white settler minority to the indigenous inhabitants of the country
• In the midst of U.S. mass deportations of non-white, undocumented immigrants, Trump has offered political asylum to all white South Africans who feel discriminated against
• Co-President and white South African Elon Musk was having his business interests restricted by the South African government.
Rally participants distributed information to the throngs of people who were at the U.N. which included large numbers of women from around the world who were attending the annual UN Commission on the Status of Women. Several African women voiced their support of Black people looking out for each other in a situation like this.
Ironically, March 21st is already a significant date in South Africa’s history. On that day in 1960, the racist South African government murdered 69 Black people who were peacefully demonstrating against the apartheid regime. The “Sharpeville Massacre” mobilized international condemnation of South Africa and catalyzed an internal armed resistance which eventually led to the election of ANC [African National Congress] leader Nelson Mandela as the country’s first African President in 1994.
Participating organizations included: World African Diaspora Union (WADU) • Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) • National Association of Kawaida Organizations (NAKO) • Incredible Credible Messenger • Pan-African Workshop • Universal African Peoples’ Organization • Workers’ World Party • Coalition to Preserve Reggae Music • International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal • Universal Social Justice Org • Elombe Brath Foundation • Operation P.O.W.E.R! • Sudanese Resistance Front (SuRF) • Haiti: Our Revolution Continues (WBAI Radio Program) • Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL) • Palaver • Families and Friends of the Wrongfully Convicted • People’s Organization for Progress (POP) • Red Carpet for Social Justice Women's Coalition • PAL-AWDA • Fuerza de la Revolución • Struggle La Lucha • Pro) Libertad • Harlem/Palestine Peace Walk for Justice and Liberation • AAPRP * Committee for the Elimination of Media Offensive To African People (CEMOTAP)

In West Africa, the countries of Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso are uniting in their fight to free their countries from the French control of their economies and armies. They have created the Alliance of Sahel States, a confederation with the stated goal to pool resources to build energy and communications infrastructure, establish a common market, implement a monetary union, allow free movement of persons, enable industrialization, and invest in agriculture, mines and the energy sector, with the end goal of federalizing into a single sovereign state.
How can we learn from this movement as we work to build Pan Africanism?

Join us at Sistas' Place Friday March 14th at 6:30 pm.
