Pan-African Nationalist Movement (PANM)
and the African Unity Movement (AUM)

These are the monikers for that association of African agents committed to the rapid evolution and revolution of a continent-wide autochthonous government and cultural institutions.  These nationalists are to be distinguished from regionalists and micro-nationalists. 

The African Liberation Movement (ALM) was subsumed for a while under the rubric of the PANM but with the assertion of an African Union the PANM was brought into clearer focus and distinguished from the ALM which sought nationalisms wedded to colonial borders.  PANM speaks to those who promoted the establishment of Africa as one nation.

The African Unity Movement (AUM) was a broader movement that included the PANM and federalist ranging from those that would accept a Union or Federal form of continental unity.  Some of the participants of the Casablanca Group were a part of this movement.
