Yours is a great contribution to our cause of Pan-Afrikan Liberation. We would encourage more focus upon the increasingly powerful grassroots struggle throughout the continent and diaspora of Afrika on Pan-Afrikan Reparations for Global Justice. It is also imperative to begin to shift away from mere radical academic descriptions of the Afrikan and global situations in order to highlight more of the escalating grassroots battles against the neocolonialist order of the imperialist domination of the continent and diaspora of Afrika.

The real challenge of our times is to build the urgently required new forms of organisation within the Pan-Afrikan Liberation movement that can meet the challenge of confronting neocolonialism on the continent and in the diaspora of Afrika today. The Handbook of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah very well points the way forward. Our resurgent Pan-Afrikan revolutionary likes of the Zapatistas are already engaged in battle-testing skirmishes at the grassroots within and outside Afrika. Those who seek to know them and recognise and support their own self-determined efforts can do so! Those who want to hear only the sound and fury of empty pseudo-radical academic claptrap can also do so!

We of the Pan-Afrikan Task Force for Internationalist Dialogue (PATFID) will give wholehearted support to Pambazuka in bringing more into its very good spotlight the actual organisational efforts and mass struggles to confront the neocolonialist forces of imperialism. Our radical-sounding Afrikan intelligentsia of today are spending too much effort on academically interpreting our situation. As welcome as some of their academic contributions are, the point is to act in order to effect true Pan-Afrikan revolutionary change. We need more trailblazers along the revolutionary path of the likes of Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah and Amilcar Cabral - men and women who not only think as revolutionary freedom-fighters theoretically but also engage in the actual practice of mass organisational work for concrete transformations! Please, turn more of the Pambazuka spotlight on true Pan-Afrikan revolutionary organisational and fighting action throughout the continent and diaspora of Afrika! We of the PATFID can work together with you in promoting dialogue between grassroots Pan-Afrikan revolutionary activists and the rest of the world.

Uhuru! Amandla! Ngawethu!
