The Kwame Nkrumah Youth Organization (KNYO) extend our exclusive solidarity and greetings to members of The All Afrikan People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) and to all who have dedicated themselves throughout the world for the Institutionalization of Afrikan Liberation day.

The KNYO wish to re-establish, the fact that May 25th is always AFRIKAN LIBERATION DAY, and not AU or Afrika Day as it’s been renamed. This is because it is a special day of Remembrance and acknowledgement to the liberation struggle, with the blood and toil of our founding Mothers and Fathers for our independence. It is also a day to reaffirm our patriotic commitments towards the envisaged total liberation of our continent, both politically and economically.

As Kwame Nkrumah Youths we are also in a firm solidarity with all oppressed peoples of the world. This is why the subject matter of the day on Imperialists Sanctions, suggested by the A.A.P.R.P concerns us.

Comrades and Friends, Sanctions, according to the United Nations declaration on human rights is criminal and illegal.

Comrades, in total violation of this declaration, The United States of America (U.S.A) has placed sanctions on over 30 nations including Cuba, Venezuela and Zimbabwe, which we see as a clear art of war, killing our brothers and sisters in these countries.

Comrades and Friends, over the last 30 years, the United States have spent over 14 trillion dollars to fight 13 devastating wars in the world, perishing over hundreds of thousands of human lives and properties. They have created discomforts, conflicts, economic chaos and disasters even to nature, including plaguing the entire world with various pandemics.

Comrades and Friends, the U.S have intervened in more than one hundred countries of the world with invasions, regime changes, economic hazards, hired wars, cold blood assassinations and what have you.

They fought in Bolivia, fought in Lebanon, fought in Vietnam, Japan, Iran, Iraq, Libya and you name it.  They will quickly endorse and applaud neo-colonial governments who timidly adhere to their foreign policies in the detriment of their own Natural and human resources.

Comrades and Friends, in the interests of the suffering masses of the world via our solidarity with the All Afrikan Peoples Revolution Party, we are firmly stating to the United States of America that your hands are stained and you have no moral decency to continue your economic sanctions over self-striving nations like Venezuela, Cuba and Zimbabwe. This is injustice, cruel and an art of war against innocent world citizens. We therefore call on all dignified nations of the world to stand up with us in total rejection and absolute condemnation of this art of war by the United States’ sanctions over the oppressed working people of the world.

Thank You.
