February 3, African Union, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - On the 21st anniversary of the historic African Union Article 3(q) Ammendment that officially “invite(s) and encourage(s) the full participation of Africans in the Diaspora in the building of the African Union in its capacity as an important part of our Continent.”, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Interim Provisional Government of the Republic of New Afrika (PG-RNA), Siphiwe Baleka, announces that on February 1, the PG-RNA applied at the African Union Commission through its Bureau of the Chairperson to renew the Observer Status that was originally granted to Malcolm X and the Organization of Afro American Unity, (OAAU), the precursor to the current PG-RNA.

“This is a historic occasion for all the ancestors who struggled to defend their freedom and sovereignty since Pope Nicholas V declared total war and invaded our ancestral homelands and trafficked our ancestors across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas as prisoners of war . Through the process of ethnogenesis in the Spanish and Anglo Saxon colonies that eventually became the United States of America, we, the admixture of various African peoples, also developed into our own New Afrikan Nation. Since self determination is enshrined as a fundamental principle of universal law, it is appropriate that the African Union recognize the Republic of New Afrika and assist in its final liberation just as it did for the liberation struggles on the continent and culminating with the release of Nelson Mandela and the establishment of the post-apartheid government of the Republic of South Africa,. We are now preparing to conduct a New Afrikan & Afro Descendant Plebiscite for Self Determination as the necessary procedural step in our campaign,” said Minister Baleka.
