The U.S. wages a war against African people in Niger as it seeks to continue military and economic domination of that nation and the rest of the continent. In Haiti, an impending occupation uses African and Caribbean nations as a cover for U.S. imperialism. The U.S. Africa Command, AFRICOM, is replicated in Atlanta, Georgia with “Cop City,” an effort to impose militarized policing with the help of a compromised Black misleadership class.
Join the Black Alliance for Peace for the webinar, “From Niger to Haiti to Cop City, Defeat the War Against African People” that will kick off the 2023 International Month of Action Against AFRICOM. Hear commentary from organizers around the African diaspora analyzing why we must get the U.S. Out of Africa, Shut Down AFRICOM, and end the war against Black/African people.
