Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast

Listen to the Sat. Jan. 28, 2023 edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the disbanding of a special police unit in Memphis after five former officers were indicted on murder charges; the military government in the West African state of Burkina Faso has ordered the withdrawal of all French military forces from the country; Mali has explained why it is moving closer to the Russian Federation in relations to security matters; and the North African state of Tunisia is preparing for another elections amid concerns about voter turnout. In the second hour we listen to the press conference in Memphis where charges were announced against five former police officers in the killing of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols. We then examine the recent developments in Burkina Faso where anti-French sentiments have reached unprecedented levels.
