HUJAMBO! On behalf of our beloved President, His Excellency Baba Dudley Thompson of the World African Diaspora Union (WADU) and its leaders, it is our pleasure to invite you to the next historic WADU Summit and African Heritage Tour from July 5-10, 2010 in Addis Ababa , Ethiopia . Our 2010 theme is “Economic Self-Determination with a United Africa .” The 2010 Summit marking the 110^th anniversary of the first Pan African Congress (PAC) is to continue building a powerful African Diaspora with Africa .

At the last WADU 2009 Summit , Her Excellency Amina Ali, African Union Ambassador to the U.S./Diaspora charged the African Diaspora to do more to support African unity and advancement. Since that 2009 successful Summit , we have taken the message to other parts for the African Diaspora to build support for the political and economic union of African people. Recently, WADU leaders also took this message to President Abdoulye Wade of Senegal during the 50^th anniversary commemoration service dedicated to African and African Diaspora unity and renaissance. Our President, Baba Dudley Thompson leaders impressed upon the major leaders from across Africa and the African Diaspora that the time is now to move forward as One Africa.

Our WADU 2010 Summit is focused on the fulfilling our Pan African mission knowing quite well our responsibility to our ancestors to continue reshaping the African world. We are carrying the mantle of those noble Pan Africanists who in 1900 and successively initiated the models for direct civil and global action for African freedom. Our 2010 objectives are to: 1. Press for the political union of African people (2007 Summit ); 2. Promote our Pan African culture as central to African thought and action (2008 Summit ); and 3. Make the economic reconstruction of African communities our business (2009 Summit ). As a result of our 2010 WADU Summit, we will fully engage the long term prospect for a Pan African economic model and agenda that will create new opportunities and promote new networks for trade, businesses and investments across the Africa world. Indeed, WADU intends to mobilize the best of the African Diaspora for the rebuilding of our Motherland and thus urging the African Union to ensure that the African Diaspora has the rights to dual-citizenship, political representation, and business partnerships. Finally, WADU will expand African cultural education and heritage tours to reconnect and recommit our people to our beloved Homeland, Africa .

We look forward to your full participation in the WADU Summit beginning on July 5-15, 2010 in Addis Ababa . Your participation will send a powerful message of our commitment and willingness to move forward with the Pan African agenda envisioned by our Ancestors to build a powerful Africa and African people. Please contact us at 718-523-3312, 404-527-7756 or WADUPAM.ORG to confirm your participation, to become a WADU organizer or to give financially to assist us in meeting our goals and objectives.
