African Party for the Independence of the Masses

African Party for Independence of the Masses (in French: Parti Africain pour l'Indépendance des Masses) is a black nationalist political party in Senegal. It was legally registered in July 1982. PAIM publishes Nation Africaine.

PAIM favours a form of direct participative democracy.

In spite of its name, PAIM shares no organic link with PAI. Unlike PAI, PAIM is a non-Marxist party.
