Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent. Based on a common goal dating back to the Atlantic slave trade, the movement extends beyond continental Africans with a substantial support base among the African diaspora in the Americas and Europe.Pan-Africanism can be said to have its origins in the struggles of the African people against enslavement and colonization and this struggle may be traced back to the first resistance on slave ships—rebellions and suicides—through the constant plantation and colonial uprisings and the "Back to Africa" movements of the 19th century. Based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to "unify and uplift" people of African descent.At its core, pan-Africanism is a belief that "African people, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny". Pan-Africanist intellectual, cultural, and political movements tend to view all Africans and descendants of Africans as belonging to a single "race" and/or sharing cultural unity. Pan-Africanism posits a sense of a shared historical fate for Africans in America, West Indies, and on the continent, itself centered on the Atlantic trade in slaves, African slavery, and European imperialism.Pan-African thought influenced the establishment of the Organisation of African Unity (now the African Union) in 1963. The African Union Commission has its seat in Addis Ababa and the Pan-African Parliament has its seat in Johannesburg and Midrand.

    Can anyone advise? I am trying to remove the cistern from a Bellavista low level close-coupled pair. I have removed all the fixings but I cannot get the cistern to lift. I suspect that it is just a very tight fit in the rubber seal between the cistern and pan but I am afraid to pull too hard...

    Can you put a pan connector into another pan connector?

    Seen it done plenty without leaking. Looked at a job where it would be the easiest option, but is it a bodge and should you really just change original pan connector for something better suited even if that means breaking up sand and cement and faffing about?

    'S' trap 'back to wall' low level pan

    Can you still get these? The outlet is underneath the pan. The flush is normal back entry. The fella ended up paying a fortune for a 'dock M pack' (one of those disable wc kits) which brings the pan forward enough to connect to the drain. :D
