		This article is about the historical and contemporary Anarchist movement in Africa.
		Genocide (Rwandan Genocide), warlord situations, and starvation can be loosely linked to a state of anarchy when the previous government falls, but it is important to note that catastrophically bad social and economic conditions existed prior to the collapse, which some may argue is the fault of the government.

	phorum - Breaking News - Anarchism’s Future in Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The prospects for anarchism on the African continent are, in the final analysis, inextricably tied to the future of anarchism worldwide.
		The obstacles to anarchism are, in the main, global; only their specifics are determined by local circumstances, as is the case in Africa.
		Against this backdrop, parts of Africa have erupted in orgies of violence, effectively spelling the beginning of the collapse of the modern nation-state system on the continent; and the rise of a new, angry generation during this chaos is an important factor in determining how and in which direction the present crisis is resolved.

	Social Anarchism/African Anarchism
		Opponents of anarchism, especially opponents on the orthodox left, often reject anarchist thought, activism and history with the critique that anarchism is a white middle class movement.
		Moreover the insistence that anarchism is adhered to by privileged Euro-descendant constituents denies unappologetically, the experience of those folks that are anarchist and of neither privileged group.
		Its further success is the confluence of the two, where anarchism is enriched by an African perspective, and the relevance of anarchism for Africa is explored.

	Social Anarchism/African Anarchism
		I have a strong affinity for Africa and an equally strong connection to anarchism.
		One of the last chapters, possibly interesting, about the possibility of anarchism developing as a movement and ideology in Africa, once again points to the factors that have worked against anarchism in Africa: colonial education, the legal system, the military class and the status quo.
		By explaining the situation, seeing how peripheral Africa is from the centers of power, the authors make a good case for the obvious relevance for anarchism on that continent.

	Anarchism in Africa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		In Africa the organised anarchist movement is quite young, starting with the formation of the Workers Solidary Federation in South Africa in 1995.
		In Africa the complete failure of capitalism to provide even the most basic necessities such as education, healthcare and even in many places water and food is blatantly obvious.
		The main role of the state in Africa is to ensure the steady extraction of raw matierials to the first world for the benifit of the imperialist powers and any opposition to this is usually met with severe repression.

	African Anarchism: The History of a Movement
		This fact, in part, explains why anarchist ideas are not spreading as fast as they should in Africa and elsewhere, in spite of the crisis of state socialism.
		In doing so, we are impelled by a two-fold sense of historical responsibility: to enrich anarchism and anarchist principles with an African perspective, and to carve out a place for Africa within the framework of the worldwide anarchist movement." ~ from the Introduction.

	African Anarchism - An Interview with Sam Mbah
		The authors argue that anarchism provides a coherent framework with which to comprehend and respond to the multiple crises afflicting the continent.
		Although anarchism is not complete without the Western European contributions, we believe there are elements of African traditional societies that can be of assistance in elaborating anarchist ideas.
		The inability to combine a coherent critique of the state and capitalism with a critique of racism has exacted an enormous toll on anarchism.

		In other countries sizeable anarchist movements exist today, and in most countries outside Africa anarchism is represented by at least one or two organisations.
		All the groups appear to be drifting away from anarchism, to 'revolutionary unionism', council communism or undefined post-anarchism.
		Anarchism will only become possible when the majority of society understands and also wants to introduce it.

		Jonathan: Notable anarchists of South Africa are those militants such as Thomas “TW” Thibedi, Bernard Sigamoney, Henry Kraai and Talbot Williams who founded the Industrial Workers of Africa and associated unions in South Africa between 1917 and 1919.
		Some of these prisoners are becoming very interested in anarchism and we hope that through them, in addition to the prison organising which they are now involved in, we can also reach their families, who have first hand experience of the repressive role of the state, and their communities.
		Jonathan: The majority of the proletariat in South Africa is fl however, largely due to the race history of South Africa with the lack of access to information of most underprivileged classes and especially for ‘non-whites’ during apartheid, until recently the majority of conscious anarchists was in fact white.

	Towards a Vibrant & Broad African-Based Anarchism
		Of the activist "isms," anarchism, at least in theory, promotes the kind of openness and risk-taking that actually encourages the constant regeneration necessary to meet new revolutionary challenges.
		Although anarchism still carries capitalist-constructed distortions, and leftist, Marxist dishonesty, it is both bold and dangerous for Africans to declare themselves anarcho-syndicalist and argue that anarchism has a legitimate place among liberation theories on the continent.
		In "Anarchism and the National Question in Africa" the authors again, I feel, rely too strongly on a European experience, which ties nationalism to capitalism, national and ethnic chauvinism, and the construction of a state.
