The All-African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP) is a socialist political party founded by Kwame Nkrumah[1][2][4] and organized in Conakry, Guinea in 1968. The party expanded to the United States in 1972 and claims to have recruited members from 33 countries.[5][1][2][6] According to the party, global membership in the party is "in the hundreds".[7]

Nkrumah's goal in founding the party was to create and manage the political economic conditions necessary for the emergence of an All-African People's Revolutionary Army that would lead the military struggle against "settler colonialism, Zionism, neo-colonialism, imperialism and all other forms of capitalist oppression and exploitation."[8][1][2][6]
