The struggle of Pan-Africanism is well and alive. It is often said, “you can Kill the Revolutionaries But you can’t kill the Revolution”. To this end, kindly permit me to retrospect on the African struggle which has been accumulated in the struggle of Pan-Africanism (which is a political and social movement that seeks to unify African people and people of African descent worldwide).
Pan-Africanists advocate for the solidarity, unity, and cooperation of Africans and people of African descent to combat racism, colonialism, and economic exploitation. Pan-Africanism promotes the notion of a shared African identity and culture, as well as the belief in Africa’s potential for political, social, and economic development.
Many songs of Africa have died in the struggle of Pan-Africanism and below are some of their names and contributions:
- Kwame Nkrumah – Nkrumah was a key figure in the movement for West African independence and the first President of Ghana. He played a crucial role in the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), now known as the African Union, and advocated for a united Africa free from colonial rule.
- Patrice Lumumba – Lumumba was the first democratically elected Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. He was a staunch advocate for African unity and independence from European colonial powers. Lumumba’s assassination in 1961 was a significant setback for the Pan-Africanist movement.
- Julius Nyerere – Nyerere was the first President of Tanzania and a leading proponent of African socialism. He played a key role in the formation of the Frontline States, a coalition of African nations that supported liberation movements in Southern Africa. Nyerere’s vision of self-reliance and African unity continues to inspire Pan-Africanists today.
- Thomas Sankara – Sankara was the President of Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987 and a prominent advocate for Pan-Africanism and self-sufficiency. He implemented a series of radical reforms aimed at empowering the poor and marginalized in Burkina Faso. Sankara’s assassination in 1987 was widely seen as a blow to the Pan-Africanist movement.
- Amilcar Cabral – Cabral was a leading figure in the struggle for independence in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. He was a founding member of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) and advocated for armed struggle against colonialism. Cabral’s commitment to Pan-Africanism and anti-imperialism continues to inspire activists across the continent. And in Liberia, Cabral’s Estates was named in his honor.
Why is the Western Powers fighting against the Continent of Africa’s Independence for One Flag, One Central Bank, One Military, One Anthem and at the same time are members of the United Nations (UN) in my wisdom, the UN should have been established to protect Soveringty as well as to ensure human dignity by preserving human rights and freedom, cultures and resources.
The very Western Powers who are spreading the practice of democracy in every nation support the doctrine that democracy must works in confirmative with each nation’s Organic Constitution and NOT the Constitution of Super-Powerful-Nations against weaker Nations.
The theory of Dawinism must not be socially politicized. The theory is paraphrase that organisms evolve through a process of natural selection, where traits that are advantageous for survival and reproduction are passed on to future generations.
This leads to gradual changes in populations over time, as those individuals with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, ultimately leading to the diversity of life that we see today.
Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection has been widely accepted by the scientific community and is a fundamental concept in modern biology.
However, the theory must not be applied to political governance because everyone must be given equal opportunity Irrespective of strength and weakness similarly with stronger and weaker Nations.
And this takes me now to the definition of Sovereignty AGAIN which is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. It is the supreme authority within a territory.
on the other hand, Democracy is a form of government in which power is ultimately vested in the people, who exercise it directly or through elected representatives. It is characterized by free and fair elections, the protection of individual rights, and the rule of law.
NOW, WHAT WRONG IS THE PRESIDENT OF BURKINA FASO HAS TO THE WEST HOLDING THE ABOVE ANALYSIS CONSTANT.
