WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

UNITING AGAINST THE COMMON ENEMY, October 23, 1971 "
"What does the Black Panther Party mean when we say that we are revolutionary inter-communalists? In a few words, we believe that the world's people from a collection of communities, all dominated or controlled, by those who rule the United States.  The most common definition for a nation (as opposed to a community) is a group of human beings who have in common their own land territory, economic system, culture ( or way of day to day living), language, etc.  At one time men from one nation would go out, and through warfare, conquer other nations.  The conquer would bring under their control the resources, the people, perhaps everything that was sovereign or sacred to the other nations.  A variety of things would result: A government of the conquered nation; the foreign language may be imposed upon the people; the name of the nation might be changed; or most importantly, the economy of the conquered nation would be fully controlled by the conquerors." Huey P. Newton .

"We have a common enemy. We have this in common: We have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. But once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. And what we have foremost in common is that enemy — the white man. He’s an enemy to all of us. I know some of you all think that some of them aren’t enemies. Time will tell.
In Bandung back in, I think, 1954, was the first unity meeting in centuries of black people. And once you study what happened at the Bandung conference, and the results of the Bandung conference, it actually serves as a model for the same procedure you and I can use to get our problems solved. At Bandung all the nations came together. Their were dark nations from Africa and Asia." MALCOLM EL HAJI MALIK SHABAZZ
