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.

    How to stop a pan connector leaking when you can't remove the toilet to replace it.

    Hi all, I'm hoping the title says it all - I've got a low level toilet in an old-fashioned community hall that is concreted to the floor and the pan connector is leaking. It's only a small leak thankfully but there's no way to get the toilet out without breaking the pan and opening up a world...

    Silicon sealing a back to the wall WC pan

    The pan is screwed down using a Screwfix/Rawlplug fitting kit and I have sealed the pan to the wall tiles. My question is: Do I need to also seal the pan to the floor tiles? I think it looks neater without silicon to the floor tiles and it would create a sealed void should the cistern inlet...

    How long can it take to replace a fully back-to-wall WC pan?

    Bit of a head-scratcher and I know the answer is 'how long is a piece of string'. A potential customer wants a fully enclosed back-to-wall pan (the type with no access from room side) replaced. Not something I have done before. While there is an access panel where the concealed cistern is...

    Replacing a toilet, but don't recognise this soil flange in the floor to join a pan connector?!

    Hope someone can identify what I need to connect my new toilet pan to the vertical soil pipe in the bathroom floor. The old toilet's pan drained vertically into the soil pipe. I now need to fit a new toilet + pan connector, but the flange in the floor doesn't appear to be catered-for when it...

    Pan connector rubber seal

    I recently had to change a toilet. This was connected to the soil pipe by a flexi connector. Unfortunately the rubber seal on the soil pipe end of the flexi needed to be replaced, I was unable to find any stockist for just the rubber seal, so ended up buying a complete pan connector and using...

    Making a plinth for a pan to sit on

    Old cast soil connection is too high for modern pans and re-doing soil run connection to stack not desired by customer (or by me for that matter.) Current toilet pan is on a plinth anyway (he'd never even noticed!) I have a few pieces of 25mm marine ply kicking round which should do the trick...

    Pan Waste Connector slightly up hill

    The old toilet has been changed for a vanity unit. There is a soil pipe adapter, very well fitted onto the old cast iron pipe which brings the diameter up to modern standards. This has a deep rubber connector aperture. The soil pipe attaches about 2cm higher than the toilet outflow which...

    Removing a bottom fitted toilet seat from a sealed pan.

    My girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment, and the toilet seat is in desperate need of replacing. I didn't think it'd be too much hassle, but I've run into a bit of trouble. The seat seems to be fixed from the bottom, but there's no way to access the bolt as its "inside" the toilet...

    Pan Connector, Which One?

    I've recently bought a 70s house and I am currently doing a bit of DIY before I move in. There is a nasty smell coming from the under stairs toilet and when I looked I could see whatever it was sealing the pan connector isn't doing it's job any longer. I'm not sure what connector I need. I've...

    Soil pipe inlet too high for toilet pan

    I'm replacing a toilet pan & the current install has a pan connected to the soil pipe with a flexi wate, but the pan exit is almost 100% lower than the soil pipe entry. Short of setting the pan on plinth, what would be the correct install?

    Cistern overflows to pan when the shower is running.

    The toilet cistern overflows into the pan when the shower on the floor below is running. Why would this be? They say the shower seems low on pressure recently. Again why would this be and what is the connection between the problems if there is one?
