African Liberation Solidarity Campaign launches pledge drive to support the International Tribunal on Reparations for Afrikan People ---------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ----------
Contact the Uhuru African Liberation Solidarity Campaign, 510-625-1106, giveback@SolidarityforAfrica.org
Africans from throughout the world will converge on Berlin, Germany, June 7-10, 2007 for The International Tribunal on Reparations for Afrikan People (ITRAP). ITRAP is the African people's court aimed at putting the U.S.A and European imperialism on trial for crimes against African people during the slave trade, colonialism and neocolonialism. The tribunal in Berlin marks a return to “the scene of the crime” where in 1884-5, European colonial powers drew borders designed to divide African people and facilitate the theft of their resources.
Key organizers of the tribunal include the African People’s Socialist Party, as well as African groups in the UK, France, Portugal, Spain, and South America. They plan to call experts and witnesses from throughout the African world to testify on past and ongoing crimes including:
• Genocide: such as that of the Herero in the Namibia region, Africans in the Congo region during Belgian rule, as well as the lynching campaigns and current police containment policies in the U.S.
• Theft of resources: such as diamonds, gold, oil, timber and other minerals stolen from Africa to develop Europe, resulting in extreme poverty for most Africans.
• Neo-colonialism: Western-backed African leaders that continue colonial terror, violence and exploitation.
Organizing an international event of this scope requires a significant amount of resources so the Uhuru African Liberation Solidarity Campaign (Uhuru ALSC) has launched a pledge drive to raise $15,000 by April 9th. Funds are urgently needed to bring judges and witnesses from around the world, for logistics and to spread the word.
ALSC raises resources for the campaigns and programs of the African People's Socialist Party (APSP), organizing African people worldwide to end more than 500 years of oppression and poverty, the results of slavery and colonialism. ALSC Coordinator Maureen Wagener states, “As African working people struggle to regain control of the resources of Africa to benefit all African people everywhere, ALSC encourages everyone to contribute to the success of the International Tribunal on Reparations for Afrikan People.”
Donations can be made online at http://solidarityforafrica.org/giveback.shtml.
Or checks can be made out to “I-TRAP” and sent to:
Uhuru ALSC, 484 Lake Park Avenue, Suite 357, Oakland, CA 94610

Are you aware that most slaves imported to Europe and the New World were SOLD by other Africans? As prisoners of war? Even the President of Senegal, Abdoulaye Wade is the descendent of Slavers. Are THEY going to pay 'reparations' too?
What about the limited number of Blacks that owned slaves in the US?
What about the fact that most White Westerners are not descendants of slave owners or benefitted directly from slavery??
Jan, your agenda on this site over the last few months would be better served if you made some effort to conceal the fact that you are a racist. Your attempts to promote divisions between Irish and foreign workers and blame foreigners for problems created by Irish employers are put in context by your latest rantings
Can somebody please assure me that this is simply not another one of those scams, similar to the Nigerian 419 emails/
There appear to be several aspects about this particular "Fund Raising Exercise" which simply do not seem to add up! By which I mean there seems to be a lot of missing information!.
This is not a scam. The funds are needed to bring witnesses and judges from Africa, Central and South America, North America and Europe to Berlin in June for the International Tribunal on Reparations for Afrikan People. The Uhuru Movement has more than 25 years of history regarding the Reparations demand, having organized and sponsored more than 12 Tribunals on Reparations for African People in the U.S., beginning in 1982. If you really want to see the African Reparations Movement gain some steam, support this Tribunal. Donate by Monday, April 9.
Uhuru, I apologise unreservedly for the scepticism of my fellow Europeans. Why are we suspicious of Africans on the internet looking for donations for a previously unknown organisation? Please take as much as you need from my account. Here are my credit card details:
Card No.1234567891011121
Account Name: Mr. G. Ullible
Expiry Date: 30/02/08.
Why bring them to Berlin, with todays technology surely teleconference can be arranged for this Puppet show
