The program will feature our regular PANW report with dispatches on the drought impacting Southern, Central and East Africa; tobacco farmers in Zimbabwe have staged a protest over the payments for their products by the banks; the Central African Republic government is requesting international assistance to avoid a humanitarian and security crisis; and the Syrian foreign ministry has announced that the military has shot down an Israeli Air Force plane which breached its territory on friday.

Finally, Ella Baker, the ideological and political founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), is honored through an address she delivered in New York City in 1968 on aspects of the-then struggle for African American liberation.
