Thanks For 2014; Support Delegation To AU Summit; Stay Vigilant & Let's Build Our Union In 2015

Hujambo! Family, as part of this 2014 report, the leadership of WADU is very grateful for your love of African people, as a global African family, and seeking your continued support for global action, leadership and donation for 2015. The year 2014 started with WADU calling for pressure on the African Union to establish an emergency Presidency due to the major imperialist attacks on Africa. They have failed and so the situation is worsening for all Africas. This coming AU Summit in January 2015, WADU is also calling for you to pressure the AU to stay in Ethiopia until a Union Government is established. Indeed, WADU is pleased to that President Mugabe of Zimbabwe will become the Chair of the African Union starting in January 2015, but he cannot do this alone and we need your support.

The AU Summit in January 2014 was also the finale for the 50th anniversary year of the OAU. In 2013, under its theme of Pan Africanism & the African Renaissance, the Chairperson of the AU Commission, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma proclaimed Dr. Kwame Nkrumah as our model asserting “we must as President Nkrumah urged fifty years ago, apply the single-mindedness and strength to achieve the mission of the social and economic liberation of our continent.” However, by 2014 Africa continued its dire trend downward on the misery index as part the fallout from the massive attacks on Africa, starting with northern Africa. 2014 has had a major increase of problems in nations like CAR, Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Kenya, Somalia, Egypt, Libya, DR Congo, Sudan, Burkina, Zambia, Mozambique… Also, we have more expansion of Africom and Nato in Africa disguised as fighting against Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and Ebola.

The year also started out with the planned unprecedented meetings with the African leaders, the European Union and the United States of America (EUSA) to promote military, economic and political partnerships with African leaders. The meetings occurred with the EUSA militarization of Africa, corporate land grab, massive exploitation of African resources, and the near hijacking of the AU. As the African leaders met with EUSA, the world witnessed a defeated Africa falling prey to a war for Africa's re-colonization.

2014 was also was also a particular challenging year for WADU with the transition of our beloved Baba John Watusi Branch, Chief of the Secretariat of WADU into the Ancestral world at the start of the year. According the Office of the President of Gambia Yahya Jammeh “Baba John Watusi was a fervent Pan-Africanist and a son of the soil...” By May 2014, WADU co-founder and freedom fighter Baba Elombe Brath also made his transition. Former South African President Thako Mbeki proclaimed Elombe Brath a “foot soldier and a General of the Pan African Movement”. Let's continue their work as our great legacy.

As we prepare for the year of 2015, WADU is urging all to press the AU for an emergency All African Government, with distinguished nations and representatives of the African Diaspora. As we advance into the year 2015, we urge all African people to act on the following: 1. Organize Garvey-Nkrumah political action committees across the Diaspora and Africa to pressure the AU to establish a Union government in honor of the Marcus Garvey centennial legacy; 2. Organize with WADU and other organizations to establish Pan African community collectives to advance our Diaspora governance; and 3. Join delegates from across the world to Ethiopia this January and the WADU Pan African Movement Summit in 2015.

Finally, as a result of the WADU forum at the African Union Office in New York on December 15, 2014 with key African leaders of Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and the U.S., we agreed on the following: 1. Africans to push for President Robert Mugabe to create a united states of Africa during his tenure as the Head of the African Union; 2. Restore AUDiTT as an official Diaspora instrument to promote the sustainable development of Africa, including the fight against the Ebola epidemic; and.3. African Diaspora to collaborate with key Caribbean and Latin American nations for greater integration with Africa, with the establishment of an African Diaspora embassy in Ethiopia, to be spearheaded by nations such as Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica.
