30.000 Amazonas-Indigene wurden während des Kautschukbooms in nur 12 Jahren versklavt, gefoltert, vergewaltigt und dem Hungertod überlassen. Heute jährt sich zum hundertsten Mal die Veröffentlichung des Untersuchungsberichts des Iren Roger Casement, der diese Gräueltaten aufdeckte.

Editor‘s Note: This was another interview I was really looking forward to. The FTP Movement on the Ning network has plenty of activity but one element stands out heads and shoulders above the crowd, the site originator Bro. Kalonji Changa.

I admire his tenacity, his organisational skills and the clarity of his political perspective and it shows in his sincere efforts to raise the consciousness and condition of the African Diaspora.

It‘s more than just another social networking community for African folks, its a movement making inroads in freedom of the African mind. Get on board. – The Angryindian
