Still have not answered the charges
1) Does your organization recieve funding from American Neo-conservative persons or movements? Yes or NO
2) The African faces you mentioned below, are probably fronts as well.... we know how the game is played.... so tell us who is in the Kitchen running things, while you have a few black faces in the sitting room to fool africans?

Matek,
Evlyne Joe can write all she wants about the Free Africa Foundation and
send copies all over the world. I just don't read such TRASH from
someone who don't even know how to start a think-tank, let alone run
one. FAF is not accountable to her.
The message is FREE AFRICA. We stand for intellectual, political and
economic freedom for the African PEOPLE. These liberties existed in our
traditional system. They were suppressed under colonial rule. But, after
independence, the rest of our TRADITIONAL liberties were snatched from
us by our own African LEADERS. FAF motto is simple: Africa is POOR
because she is FREE. Do you agree?
Politically, only 16 out of the 54 African countries are democratic.
Intellectually, even though many African countries are signatories to
the Charter of African and Peoples' Rights, freedom of exp ression and of
the media is respected in only 8 African countries. And less than 9
African countries can be considered economically free.
We champion FREEDOM; hence the Free Africa Foundation. All sorts of
people identify with and SUPPORT our mission: White Americans, black
Americans, Africans, Canadians, Brits, etc. They send us donations in
the mail.
FAF is registered under Section 501 (c)(3) of the IRS code -- a
tax-exempt, non-profit organization. Thus, as a public entity it
receives financial contributions from the public. FAF cannot say its
contributors must be restricted only to blacks. That would be illegal.
Ask the National Association for the Advancement of Blacks (NAACP). It
also received contributions from whites and white corporations. When we
received financial contributions in the mail, we do NOT ask questions
about who the contributor is, what he did in the past, what type of beer
he drinks, etc.
Meron Agon afer, a fine Ethiopian woman, was our administrative assitant
who left in 1997. Her place was taken by Victor Maloma, a black South
African and now we have Victor Odamten, a Ghanaian. Our website is
designed and maintained by Divine Akere, a Cameroonian. Our research
fellows include John Orleans-Lindsay (a Ghanaian), Ambassador Imru
Zelleke (an Ethiopian) and Dr. Emma Etuk (a Nigerian).
If you think FAF is an "imperialist front whose purpose is to confuse"
Africans, then continue to delude yourself. James Blanchard, who Evlyne
rails constantly about, DIED 9 YEARS AGO. It tells you how much she
knows about the organization.
