AU DIASPORA DECLARATION:
TEN YEARS AFTER
DATE: 23 - 28 MAY, 2022
ADDIS ABEBA, ETHIOPIA
The 25th of May 2022, The World Africa Day, will mark the tenth year since the Heads of State and Government and Representatives of the African Union, the West Indies, Latin America, South America, and varied representatives from the African Diaspora met during the Global African Diaspora Summit in Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa and witnessed the historic adoption of the African Union-African Diaspora Declaration concerning the Diaspora Sixth Region of Africa.
Now, African Diaspora Civil Society organizations, Pan Africanists, and African Activist Organizations have taken the initiative to organize a special Roundtable on the AU Diaspora Declaration: Ten Years After. The event is being held with the support of the African Union Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC), CIDO, and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
There will be serious and frank discussions to evaluate the success of that Diaspora Declaration, as we lay out a clear, decisive, actionable, accountable, and attainable path forward according to its intent.
So, please make plans to join us, in person or online for this defining event in the history of the Descendants of those taken from the continent and displaced throughout the world.
