Africa

Africans in the Democratic Republic of Congo came together to protest the extended neocolonial ruling of President Joseph Kabila on Monday, September 19, 2016. What began as a peaceful demonstration turned deadly as police shot at protestors with live ammunition.

These recent elections held on August 3, 2016 for all district, metropolitan and local municipalities in all nine local provinces in Occupied Azania (South Africa) have confirmed the African National Congress’ (ANC) decline which was noticeable in the last 2014 parliamentary elections. 

This time the ANC received 53.9 percent of the national votes. This is the first time that the ANC has secured below 60 percent.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) received 26.8 percent of the votes and Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) received 8.2 percent.

This means that the ANC in certain cities and towns will have to share power with EFF or any other organization.

OCCUPIED AZANIA––The U.S. Consulate in Occupied Azania (South Africa) denied African Socialist International Comrade Tafarie Mugeri’s request for a U.S. visitor’s visa. 

The request for the visa was made so that he could attend the African People's Socialist Party's (APSP) July 2016 Cadre Development School (CDS) at the Party’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. 

It was announced on May 3, 2016 that Haiti would become a Member State of the African Union (AU).

The African Union Commission, however, informed the public on May 26, 2016 at their summit in Kigali, Rwanda that Haiti will not be admitted as a Member State of the African Union, as been reported by several media sources.

According to one of AU’s Constitutive Acts, only African States can join the African Union.

It is nearing the August 2016 election time in local municipalities of Occupied Azania (South Africa) and all neocolonial political parties in the country have begun campaigning!

From the African National Congress (ANC), the Democratic Alliance (DA), all the way to the radical sounding Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the masses in Occupied Azania are being told what each party will do for the people.

It is a grand contest all over the country––but the question remains the same as it has since South Africa was born: what about the African working class and its interests?
