The Redress

Revolution

The African revolutions of the 2000s.

---

The redress is a renewal of Pan-Africanism and African sovereignty movements following the Singularity. The Redress moniker was adopted from the “Demands for a free Africa”, a letter published by the Central African Nation, an anarchist cell which seized control of Chad in 2002 and remains in power to this day.   The redress, as a whole seeks to protect Africa from any form of imperialism, achieve parity with the west via removal of unfair international provisions and western biased institutions in Africa.  

History

“The Panic” in Africa, like in most of the Third World, had a large element of anti western sentiment which resulted in violence being directed towards so called imperialist institutions located in Africa, as well as the resurgence of Pan-Africanism and African national identities.   The redress started to form as a concrete social movement with the creation of the Central African Nation in 2000, the CAN was a large coalition of Pan African anarchists operating in Chad. The coalition took over Chad in 2002, in large part thanks to western support, after the Chadian government had been taken over by an extremist cell.   The CAN became the de-facto government after the fall of the autocratic government and soon came into conflict with their western allies for reneging the payment of debts incurred by the former government and setting an ultimatum for the withdrawal of foreign military personnel and military bases in Chad’s territory.   A new coalition led by France was called to restore order in Chad, which resulted in the 2004 Invasion of Chad which lasted until 2007 when the allied coalition agreed to a ceasefire.   This was considered a massive victory and sparked a wave of other organizations for national liberation, such as the Congolese International and the United Guinee.  

Effects

The most important effect the Redress has had is forcing many foreign powers to renegotiate or altogether abandon projects in Africa, as well as creating a united African market to protect from foreign influences.
