African Union African Diaspora Committee Germany AFROTAK cyberNomads elected for vice presidency African Union African Diaspora Deutschland BLACK EVENTS DEUTSCHLAND AFROTAK TV cyberNomads Afro Deutsch Event Promotion Black commUNITY Community. Since 2007 the South African Embassy consults AFROTAK TV cyberNomads for expertise on media-strategy. The SA Embassy invited me as representative for the African Union Conference RCC (Diaspora in Europe Regional Consultative Conference) in September 2007 in Paris.
In 2007 the South African Embassy asked AFROTAK TV cyberNomads to assist in calling together the AFRICAN DIASPORA Germany. Because of our expertise in getting together a very international crowd for 3 Major Black Media Congresses in Berlin and and for organizing the First Panafrican Literature Award in Germany – the May Ayim Award under umbrella ship of the UNESCO Germany – we were asked to develop a strategy for the gathering of the African Diaspora in Germany.
We started with a small round of people and slowly we made progress on the European platform as well as on the national level. At some point around middle to end of 2007 Mr. Kennedy F Trumenta joined our meetings.
In 2008 after we had gone through the 3rd Round of people leaving the work and coming back to it – we decided to finally put a Verein in place. Adetoun Kueppers-Adebisi had been asking to do so for ever since we had started with the process to get into the German Structure of working things. Since at first many some had objections because they wanted to soley be on the mandat that the African Union had given us it was a long process to get this development through.
Here You see some Pictures of the origional team that got the African Union African Diaspora going:

Self-introduction and Vision (max. 3 min)

Coordination board
- What ought to be done
1) The coordination board acts on mandate by the African Union. The mandate structure will be applied to cover all other regions of Germany. Thus the
coordination board will identify key players and multipliers and give out mandates for the Bundesländer to reach out for the Diaspora as a whole. The coordination Board acts as an umbrella (Dachverband) for the African Diaspora in Germany.
(Central Council for Africans/ Zentralrat der Türken/ Juden etc.)
2) The coordination board will organize its activities making it possible to function within the German system. To produce benefits and synergies on a maximized scale the long-term organizational form will be a Verein (e.V.).
3) The coordination Board will not try to reinvent projects but instead base its working upon cooperation with existing ones to realize the
4) The coordination board should look for expertise to fill in their positions instead of giving out positions according to ranks or power. Only action upon knowledge will bring advancement for the community as a whole.
- How many people
1) The coordination Board should be constituted following the basic outline of the working commissions of the African Union. There are 7 major working commissions in the structure of the African Union. Thus their will be 7 chairs that can give out further mandates to fill in expertise from people skilled in specific topics.
- Voting
Since the coordination Board gives out the chairs following the expertise of its members the positions are determined by discussion. The positions are given out for the duration of one year.
