October 1, 2021 marked 13 years since the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) was established. The purpose of AFRICOM is to use U.S. military power to impose U.S. control of African land, resources and labor to service the needs of U.S. multinational corporations and the wealthy in the United States.

BAP-ATL and Friends of the Congo ATL are hosting an ATL AFRICOM Teach-In on Sunday, October 17th, at 6PM ET during Breaking the Silence Congo Week (congoweek.com), which is a week of activities that commemorates the millions of lives lost in the Congo conflict while celebrating the enormous human and natural potential that exists in the country.

Teach-in participants will receive a basic understanding of the purpose, history, and impact of AFRICOM on the African continent.
