As the crisis of Capitalism deepens Internationally and the anticapitalist anti-imperialist Movement broadens, discussions about the building of an anti-imperialist African body in Sweden have also began.
Africans in Sweden have been unable to respond effectively to virulent attacks against the community not just because of lack of leadership but also due to an acute shortage of clear ideological direction. In the process, opportunists have continued to recycle exhausted methods of struggle that have mainly been geared towards opportunistic economic pursuits. The end result is that many Africans have been demoralised on the question of getting organised to fight racism, unemployment, discrimination, harassment and other attacks against the community. It is against this background that discussions for the formation of a body that can address questions affecting Africans from a class perspective are continuing.
With the help of a few concerned Africans, a draft declaration has been drawn and is guiding discussions (see below). The African is under attack from all directions and these attacks can be countered effectively by Africans organising on all fronts. We welcome all Africans who find this idea interesting. The African Left needs to regroup!

2. For an end to IMF, World Bank and WTO`s exploitative economic agenda in Africa and an end to IMF/World Bank/WTO`s influence in the continent.
