Burning
Spear Tours is proud to announce the 2007 All Diamonds
are Blood Diamonds tour, featuring Omavi Bailey and Dr.
Aisha Fields.
Omavi
Bailey is the Director of Burning Spear Media, a growing
multi-faceted revolutionary news and information institution
that presents the views and aspirations of African working
people worldwide.
Dr.
Fields is a physicist who coordinates the All African
People’s Development and Empowerment Projects, working
with people in Africa, and elsewhere in the African world,
to develop sustainable, renewable electrification and
water purification programs in their communities.
As
the eyes of the world focus on the issue of Africa’s blood
or conflict diamonds, Mr. Bailey and Dr. Fields are touring
the U.S. to expose the reality that even the so-called
legitimate diamond trade is dripping in the blood of African
people. Making their case with videos, PowerPoint presentations
and expert testimony, Fields and Bailey show that all
diamonds are blood diamonds. As Mr. Bailey states, “The
entire diamond industry is based in the colonial legacy
of 500 years of European plunder of the African continent
which has enriched the Western world to the exact extent
that it has impoverished African people.”
What
is exciting about these two dynamic, talented young people
is that they are dedicated to the struggle to liberate
Africa and all of its resources for the benefit of African
working people. As members of the Uhuru Movement leading
the struggle to unite Africa and African people worldwide,
Fields and Bailey put forward irrefutable solutions for
Africa’s crisis found not in charity or “relief” but in
African people themselves coming together to solve Africa’s
problems using Africa’s vast natural resources as their
birthright.
