Dr. Cornel West, a presidential hopeful, made a bold promise to Detroit residents during a gathering at Mama Akua House. He pledged to "get rid of Africom" as part of his foreign policy stance toward Africa, receiving applause from the audience. Africom, responsible for U.S. military operations in 53 African nations, is criticized for undermining progressive activities on the continent. West's commitment to this, along with his advocacy for Palestinians and other progressive policies like universal healthcare and free housing, has garnered support. The Center for Pan African Studies expresses support for West's presidential aspirations, seeing him as a potential disruptor of the status quo in Washington.

We’re not the political ones here. We’ve got to tell the whole story of our country whether we like it or not, whether you like it or not.”

Governor DeSantis’ effort to suppress aspects of AP African American history is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has 80% of the world's cobalt. This rare mineral is essential to lithium batteries powering our cell phones, laptops, vaping devices, electric vehicles, hoverboards, power tools, etc. Without cheap access to cobalt,  the economies of the West and China would come to a screeching halt.
