Dear Bro. Cedric, I am happy to see Allah Bless you with this assignment. Your insights are on-point. It is true, we do have much work to do. Keep up the great work! May be we can work together one day, Allah Willing. One thing I humbly suggest in the creation of a unified currency backed by gold is that each nation must gain ownership and control of the central banks first to be effective. The central banks have control of the nervous system of those nations' economies. Most central banks are still owned by the former colonial powers. I believe you will be Blessed to help relieve Africa of its economic suffering once and for all. May Allah continue to Bless you, Brother. As-Salaam Alaikum!

Muhammad Tue, 17 Mar 2009 21:12:38 +0000 http://www.cedricmuhammad.com/?p=301#comment-67 ASA Bro Cedric, I am so proud to have you representing the Black Nation at such an important meeting such as this. The Honorable Elijah mentioned that we would be the way that Africa would come out of the darkness into the light (im paraphrasing of course) and although you went on the strength of the Black electorate, Im claiming your attendance as a victory for the N.O.I. as well. I will make your blog known to the members of the Ministry of International affairs and maybe we can set up a phone conference with you to speak to us. Keep up the good work and let us now what we should be doing to help. I for one am tired of all the meetings nad not enough of the doing. At least you are doing. ASA

One thing how do you feel about the unionizing of the world? i.e. the European Union? Rumblings of a so called North American Union etc? I definitely do not disagree with your ideas and as a pan-africanist I understand and support your work but to add on...how do feel about the grabble of the IMF/World Bank on the African continent? One last thing, will blackelectorate be doing the economic and community summitt/conference in D.C. again this year? Once again Thank you. Hello,

Muhammad, I have been a blackelectorate.com viewer since 2001. I dug your piece on the need to develop the "Africana," a single currency for the African continent. I was first drawn to the site based on the your emphasis on Politics, Culture and Economics, as these have been my analytical guideposts ever since I first read The Crisis of the Negro Intellectual (Harold Cruse) shortly after graduating from college in 1990. I am writing to offer you assistance in your role as Rapporteur for the Diaspora and United States. I am a corporate banker currently playing the role of the "spook who sat by the door" in Corporate America. As a long time "economic practitioner" in Corporate America I have skills that could aid you in your task. Fortunately, I have been blessed to become a manifestation of study and not just a manifestation of money (to paraphrase KRS One). To that end, I am volunteering my service (professional, organizational, physical, monetary, you name it) to the Bureau of The First Congress of African Economists. Please call on me any time. Peace. Anthony Forbers Detroit, Michigan Bro. Muhammad,

As an African American who has been a student of African history for over 30 years; traveled extensively in Africa; and worked on behalf of Africa/Africans, I am proud that the AU has invited a young man such as yourself to participate. Currently, I am part of a project linking Dar es Salaam and Lansing, MI (Friendship City) relationship. Our goal is to be a catalyst and provide that linkage between our relatives in Africa and the Diaspora. Why should we in the Diaspora be included in the plans for Africa? Because, we are the ones who have been pushing the agenda in this country and elsewhere; we have always taken up the causes for Africa; have worked side by side with our African counterparts; and because we are Africans by blood and genes, who were stolen away. Congratulations on your accomplishment; I'm glad the AU selected you and I am sure that you represented. Keep up the good work!

I was also impressed by the fruitful discussions during this sober congress.I'm grateful to you and to all those who contributed to the excellence discussions that took place over the four days. As you said, we have much work to do. Our efforts have to make the Vision for the First Congress for African Economists a reality. However, as regards your proposal and to be more realistic, i think that the current five region approach may work better than the three one... Dear Cedric,
