“The total liberation and unification of Africa under an All-African Socialist Government must be the primary objective of all Black revolutionaries throughout the world. It is an objective which, when achieved, will bring about the fulfillment of the aspirations of Africans and people of African descent everywhere. It will at the same time advance the triumph of the international socialist revolution, and the onward progress towards world communism, under which, every society is ordered on the principle of –from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.” — Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah
Assata Shakur well known and revered member of the Black Panther Party/Black Liberation Army and Revolutionary, who is currently living in exile in Cuba has been placed on the United Snakes most wanted “terrorist list”. As we begin to reflect on the impact that Assata has had on an entire generation, on many African women and on the African revolution we must stop and recognize that this decision and announcement is primarily a fear tactic.
