LONDON—We hear less now of the special relationship between the UK and the U.S. The capitalist crisis is so severe that every imperialist is too busy looking after themselves. 

Washington begged the British to stay in the EU, as Obama travelled to the UK to lecture the British about the necessities of staying within the European Union and Western imperialist realm. 

But the British public, guided by various demagogue white nationalist leaders, who did not plan for the consequence or outcome they were fighting for, gave the leave EU campaign a resounding victory.

Now the effects of the victory are sinking in and a new round of contradictions are emerging. The first one is the crumbling economy. 

The recent August elections have cut open the French neocolonial contradictions based on sucking the blood of Africans in Gabon for centuries. The highly-contested August 27, 2016 elections between Ai Bongo Ondimba and Jean Ping were an assault on African people’s consciousness and future, particularly the African working class.

I would like to thank you sister Njeri for extending the invitation to Uhuru movement to attend this important commemoration.

I would like also to extend the greetings from our Chairman Omali yeshitela and the central Committee of the African peoples Socialist Party to all of you present in this commemoration.

I would also like to salute the memory of sister Mawusi aka as sister Patricia Chambers.

Colonised people do not die naturally. Colonialism and neo-colonialism are the direct causes of our problems in our entire lives.

United Kingdom––At the June 23, 2016 referendum 51.9 percent of British people voted to leave the European Union (EU), while 48.1 percent voted for U.K to remain in the EU. This sent shock waves throughout Europe and world’s capitalist centers.

Britain’s population and its leaders woke up on the morning of Friday June 24th to a new environment defined by a nation split down the middle, gripped by shock, disbelief and uncertainty.

Since the assault on Africa began in 1415 by marauders from Christendom, which would later become known as Europe, the continent has never known a single day of genuine peace on our own terms.

From a land of free people, from a cradle of humanity and civilisation, Africa has been turned into an enslaved continent with the primary task of producing life and wealth for the European invaders, kidnappers and looters. 

This feudal European attack is different from the attacks by ancient Romans, Greeks, Western Asians and all other groups who attacked Africa before 1415, because they did not result in the creation of a global capitalist parasitic system as we know it.

The struggle between Pan-Africanism and African Internationalism is a contest for the truth, between African petty bourgeoisie and the African workers.

It does not happen in vacuum or in outer space, it happens in a  parasitic capitalist world that is split between oppressed and oppressors nations, between bosses and workers, petty bourgeoisie and working class.

There is no Pan-Africanism in general. It has a class ownership.
