Listen to the Sun. Feb. 28, 2021 special edition of the Pan-African Journal: Worldwide Radio Broadcast hosted by Abayomi Azikiwe, editor of the Pan-African News Wire. The program features our PANW report with dispatches on the announcement by the Zimbabwe government that it is gearing up its ambitious vaccination program for COVID-19; Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says the country would welcome international technical support in addressing allegations of human rights violations; Eritrea has rejected accusations of involvement in massacres in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia; and Nigeria has welcomed the release of some of the students abducted over the last several weeks.

Finally, we conclude our African American History Month commemorations with another focus on the life, times and contributions of Malcolm X (El Hajj Malik Shabazz).
