AFRICANIST MOVEMENT TO HOLD
ANTI-IMPERIALIST CONFERENCE IN GUINEA
By Kabietulai Byllor Jalloh*

An anti-imperialist conference to discuss the effects of multinational corporate exploitation, political and economic crisis and cross-boarder extortions in West Africa will take place this December in Guinea, a press release from the Africanist Movement stated.

The conference will be organized by the Africanist Movement and aims at bringing together Africanist leaders and representatives of African revolutionary organizations to discuss key issues and problems associated with Africa’s liberation and unification process.

“The Africanist leadership conference is part of an annual grassroots leadership programme designed by the Africanist Movement to involve African workers and poor peasants in the unification and liberation process of Africa from neocolonialism and imperialism,” the statement said, adding that, “the decision to organize a leadership conference in Guinea was the result of a resolution passed at an emergency Africanist leadership meeting held last month in Conakry.”

Africanist leader, Chernoh Alpha M. Bah said: “this conference should help us adopt a final programme and strategy that will guide our efforts to achieve a free, united socialist Africa.”

Since 2005 the Africanist leadership conference have gathered Africans from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea, Gambia, Senegal, Burkina Fasso, Guinea Bissau, the United States, England, Belgium and Holland to discuss Africa’s development challenges.

The Africanist Movement intends to make this year’s conference a landmark as it coincides with the fifth anniversary of the movement.

“We will try to get participation from as many Africans as possible if we are able to raise the resources required for the programme,” the Africanist Director said and added that, “this conference will have far reaching effects for the expansion of our activities.”

Last year the Africanist leadership conference was held in Dalaba and this year it is scheduled for Labe in the north of Guinea and will take place from December 28-30, 2007.
*Kabietulai Byllor Jalloh, an Executive Committee of the Africanist Movement, is the Personal Communications Secretary Attached to the Director.
