Atlanta, Ga. – During the World African Diaspora Union (WADU) 5th Pan African Congress (PAC) anniversary conference in the Netherlands this October 28-29, 2011, African Diaspora leaders called for the re-Africanization of the African mind to successfully achieve the mission for a united states of Africa. Under the theme “The New African World Order”, Africans descended on Amsterdam from different parts of Africa, Europe, South America, North America, and the Caribbean to support a systematic Pan African agenda pushed by WADU for the scattered family members of Africa to organize as an economic, political and cultural power block in the world.
According to Dr. Leonard Jeffries, the keynote speaker of the WADU Europe event, “this successful and historic meeting in Europe was convened with the full support of WADU President His Excellency Dudley Thompson and in the spirit of our Ancestors such as those like Dr. John Henrik Clarke to promote Pan Africanism or perish.” During his address on the history, vision and foundation of Pan Africanism, Dr Jeffries impressed upon and charged the new WADU leaders of Europe to “agitate, educate and organize” in the spirit of Kwame Ture for the cultural, political and economic reintegration of African people as one powerful family.
The October meeting in the Netherlands came at a critical time in the 111th anniversary year of the formal launching of the Pan African Movement when former colonial states of Europe have escalated their agenda to re-colonize and enslave Africa under the guise of United Nations humanitarian assistance to Africa. Orchestrated from European capitols, European leaders have destroyed Libya, supported the genocidal attack on Black Libyans in northern Africa, reinforced U.S. militarization of Africa with Africom and have expanded NATO operations across Africa. The vicious attacks on Africa also came almost immediately after the United Nations declared 2011 as the year for the people of African descent.
The WADU 5th PAC anniversary conference chaired by Dr. Amanda Uzor was focused on the importance of the Diaspora saving Africa; the dire need for WADU Europe immediately; Western interference in African affairs; the kinds of forces in place to destroy Africans in Europe; the importance of media to educate and empower African people, everywhere; and the European cultural conditioning of Black Children that has destroyed the black minds.
Other key speakers and facilitators in addition to Dr. Amanda Uzor, Chairwoman, Africa Media Practitioners in the Diaspora are Dr. Sharifa Saa-Atma Ma’at, Co-Chair, WADU Georgia and Founder of Sankofa Visions; Mr. Moses Biba Kaylade, Founder/Director of Action Contributive De La Diaspora PanaAfricanie; Mr. Leshley Buleson of Percepolis Management Developing Consult, Ltd; Mr. Elvis Iruh, Editor-in-Chief- The Voice and Mr. Emmanuel Semanou, Pan African Activist, Ivory Coast.

Dr. Ndugu T’Ofofori-Atta, Dr. Leonard Jeffries, Mother Sybil Clarke (wife of late Dr. John H. Clarke), Mama Anna Swanston (Secretary for John H. Clarke), Baba Mukasa Dada Willie Ricks (Pan African Civil Rights leader) and was formalized with the election of Ambassador Dudley Thompson as its President in July 2007 in Kingston, Jamaica.
