Order of Kush and a new people's movement

In response to, , I would like to say that as an outsider, an African American who has more than an affinity with Africa and its politics, I believe a synthesis of "Nkrumah’s vision of continental political unity" and Nyerere's gradual approach to that vision can be realised.

Further, I do not think we Africans should dismiss Muammar Gaddafi so quickly. Rather, we should hear him out and look for common ground in his messages. The author rightly points out that "Pan-Africanism was rooted in anti-imperialist politics. It was a political and not an economic, cultural, or racial project."

In my view, the next step in the development of Pan-Africanism and the quest for continental unity of Africans is to arrive at a concensus that transcends political, economic, cultural and racial lines. What is needed at this juncture is a "People's Movement" that leaves petty politics at the door. We have started such a movement in the United States. It is a movement of people who have a passionate love for Africa and its people. We call it the Order of Kush.
