Sekou discovered EACN via U-Tube, said this about himself: “I am 32 years old African from Liberia. I have been living in Bremen Germany since 2002 and I have two kids. I am very impress ed by the life and philosophy of Malcolm X… how he managed to educate himself and move on standing for injustice , I will to everything I can to help my continent ..for example – recruiting members spreading t he message and any thing necessary. I am verymotivated and interested in developing Africa. It hurts me anytime I see my continent on TV I see no good images and this is the reason for disrespect to word African at our different working places or somewhere else in the west.
