Borderless Africa
Africans Rising for Unity, Justice, Peace and Dignity convened one of the biggest gatherings of African social movements, activists, human rights defenders, artists and relevant stakeholders in MS-TCDC in Arusha, Tanzania from August 29-31, 2022. The All-African Movements Assembly (AAMA) brought together members of Africans Rising - pan-African social movements, activists, human rights defenders, advocates, and key stakeholders from 55 countries across the continent and territories in the diaspora. The participants adopted specific campaigns and actions geared towards addressing current issues affecting Africans. One of the key campaigns adopted is a campaign for borderless Africa or the free movement of African people and goods in Africa. Others are reparatory justice, feminist justice and an African single currency. Africans Rising used this Assembly as a rallying platform to stimulate discussions on emerging issues affecting Africa’s economies, galvanize support from social movements and to proffer solutions that are grassroot-led, inclusive, participatory and continent relevant. Prior to the AAMA, Africans Rising convened strategic regional consultative meetings aimed at collecting and collating views and perspectives from the members of the movement. The Assembly’s program itself was a product of these broad consultations.
