The Ethiopian connection to the Pan-African movement
Article Abstract:
The Pan-African movement began in the 18th Century as a belief in the common historical and social destiny of Africans. The movement began in the western world since most of the African nations of the time were still under colonial rule. However, Ethiopia, being one of the only two independent African states, played a crucial role in the movement since it was used by Pan-African leaders as a springboard into Africa. At present, Ethiopia continues to be a critical player in the Pan-American movement. It has become a major testbed for the continued success of Pan-Africanism because of its economic and political difficulties.

The new diaspora - African immigration to the United States
Article Abstract:
There have been a growing number of Africans migrating to the US because of the political and economic situation in Africa and due to the globalization of world economy. England and many countries with colonial ties to Africa have had stringent immigration policies which has made the US an attractive place for migrants. The immigration trends are analyzed based on statistics. The immigration is likely to grow given the economic situation in Africa and US's current immigration policies.

Christianity and traditional reality in Kenjo Jumbam's 'The White Man of God.' (African author and his concept of the ideal religion)
Article Abstract:
A religion that encourages and paves the way for original thought is advocated by Kenjo Jumbam in his book. 'The White Man of God' is a critique of Christianity and Catholicism whose dogmatic approach relegates man to the periphery of progress evidenced by the European's attempt to subjugate and impose their collective will on Africans. The ideal religion should evolve from man's experiences and enable him to live a peaceful life.
