Listen to this special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our regular PANW report with dispatches on the status of President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe who has spoken out in the aftermath of his return to the country after visiting the United Arab Emirates; a number of former anti-apartheid stalwarts in South Africa have spoken out in defense of financial minister Pravin Gordhan who the media has speculated is facing a politically-motivated prosecution; the United Nations has warned the government of the Republic of South Sudan over the acceptance of more so-called "peacekeeping " troops for deployment inside the beleagured state; and there has already been a diplomatic row with the arrival of United States President Barack Obama to the People's Republic of China. In the second hour we continue our monthlong focus on the literary contributions of African people with segments on Chinua Achebe, Langston Hughes and James Baldwin. This program also acknowledges the annual Detroit Jazz Festival.
