This week's program features reports on the second anniversary of the counter-revolution in the North African state of Libya. The events have been marked by demonstrations and heightened security measures inside the country.
Several articles by apologists for imperialism have admitted that the U.S.-NATO led war that overthrew the Jamahiriya has been a disaster for the country and its people. These failures are now being utilized as a rationale for deeper imperialist intervention.
Egyptian organizations have called for an investigation into the death of activist Mohamed El-Gendy. Meanwhile demonstrations have continued across the country against the Freedom and Justice Party government of Mohamed Morsi.
In the Southern African state of Zimbabwe, the country is preparing for a national referendum on a new constitution. The vote, which is scheduled to take place on March 16, is a precursor for political elections later in the year.
Finally, the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice (MECAWI) has issued a call for a conference on Africa & U.S. Imperialism. The Conference is being held in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on May 25, 1963.
The program concludes with a tribute to Malcolm X, El Hajj Malik Shabazz, on the eve of the 48th anniversary of his martyrdom on Feb. 21, 1965.
