“The new enslavers of Afrika and Afrikans Worldwide�
DEMONSTRATION: 25[suP]th[/suP] May 1600 – 1900hrs
Haymarket, London SW1
[size=We, the Afrikan people living in the ][size=United Kingdom][/size][size= and our Pan- Afrikanist organizations, in solidarity and in alliance with global governments and organisations, wish to place in record our total condemnation of the International Monitory Fund (IMF) and its co-conspirator, the ‘World’ Bank. They have become, and still remain in 2007, the new ‘slave owners’ who continue to enslave Afrikan people at home and aboard. Their predecessors, also our enslavers, controlled and directed governments, private industries and churches which were all used to disable, dehumanize and exploit Afrikan people. Today they continue to do so by withholding our justified reparations for these crimes against humanity whilst simultaneously retaining us in criminal ‘death bondage’.][/size][/size]
[size=][/size]
[size=We do not owe them, they owe us!][size= ][/size][/size]
[size=][/size]
[size=We therefore call on all governments within the Afrikan nation, at both home and aboard, to Stop and examine their so-called debts to the World Bank and the IMF and have such debts, as well as the processes in which they were allegedly incurred, inspected by Afrikan Centered Accountants. Then we and the world will see if these so-called ‘outstanding payments’ are justified debt or rather the result of creative accountancy in the process of western international theft on a massive scale. ][/size]
[size=][/size]
[size=We call on the global Afrikan masses to rise up and support any government or other Organisation that will lead its people towards these goals. ][/size]
[size=][/size]
[size=Afrikan people are demanding Reparations, not only for hundreds of years of enslavement of our people, but also in the form of an immediate end to the relentless exploitation carried out against Afrikans under plans hatched and often executed by the World Bank and the IMF.][/size]
[size=][/size]
[size=We call upon the mass of Afrikan people and their allies to continue the fight for Reparations and to support the following upcoming events:-][/size]
[size=][/size]
[align=center]15th May Workshop. SouthBankUniversity: [/align]
[align=center]The Horrors of Slavery: 1800hrs[/align]

[align=center]16th May Press Conference South Africa House [/align]
[align=center]1200 -1330hrs[/align]
[align=center][/align]
[align=center]22[suP]nd[/suP] May Workshop. SouthBankUniversity: [/align]
[align=center]Reparations 1800hrs[/align]
[align=center][/align]
[align=center]25[suP]th[/suP] May Demonstration at IMF & World Bank[/align]
[align=center]1600 - 1900hrs[/align]
[align=center][/align]
[align=center]26[suP]th[/suP] May Afrika Liberation Day 12 O’clock[/align]
[align=center]1200 - 1900hrs[/align]
Afrika Liberation Day (ALD) planning Committee fully supports the call for reparations and call for an end to paying off the so-called debt allegedly owed by Afrikan nations to western bankers by way of creative accountancy.
By 1807, Afrikans had already liberated Santo Domingo – later known as Haiti – a feat achieved in 1804. Why would William Wilberforce, as a member of parliament at the time, vote to send troops to try and crush the victory of those same Afrikan people and re-enslave them, if 3 years later he truly committed himself to help them?
It was Afrikans, through the daily rebellions on the plantation, at the sea ports at home and in the Americas, on the transport ships, during so-called ‘seasoning’ when more than one third were killed, who put an end to enslavement.
Afrikans resisted our enslavement at every moment, at every level and in every way possible.
We therefore call on all of the governments within the Afrikan Nation, at home and abroad, to provide Afrikan people worldwide with information on the TRUTH about our liberation, including the names and history of our true heroes and sheroes within their territories, so that Afrikans can give informed responses to the lie of William Wilberforce’s Imperial generosity.
