Omali Yeshitela, leader of the Uhuru Movement, will speak on Darfur and
the current conflicts in Sudan. The Uhuru Movement founder has spent
much of the last year traveling and speaking in Africa and Europe on
proposals to solve the crises of poverty and war throughout Africa by
merging Africa's microstates into a single nation.
Sudan, Africa's largest country, is rich in oil, gold, silver and
copper. It's fertile land includes mountains, rain forests and most of
the water flow from the Nile River, but its people face starvation and
widespread displacement.
Yeshitela contends that the resources of African are the birthright of
African people everywhere. He suggests that the re-establishment of
indigenous control over the continent's vast natural resources will
enable a revival of the rich and advanced African civilizations of
pre-colonial times.
In his Philadelphia presentation the Uhuru leader will review the
history of the region, identify the forces behind the current crisis and
offer proposals for local action in support of the struggle for African
control of African resources.
He will be joined by author Penny Hess ("Overturning the Culture of
Violence"), who will present slides and discussion on Africa's colonial
past and the current economics behind the violence.
This event starts at 7:30 pm and is free and open to the public.
