Professor PLO Lumumba has warned that while colonial powers are once again seeking to divide Africa in order to conquer it through a new scramble for the continent, such tactics can no longer serve as an excuse for Africa’s inaction. He insists that Africa must recognize its collective strength...

Africa no longer wants to align itself with the great powers, whatever they may be” The role assigned to Africa in this 21st century is evocative of the image that certain powers of our continent still have: their zone of influence. We must be concerned about the place that Africa occupies on the world stage. The great powers want to reduce Africa to a purely instrumental entity in the service of their causes and obviously do not want the continent to be able to play an important role. The fractures of the colonial era between a so-called French-speaking, Spanish speaking, Portuguese-speaking, Arabic-speaking and English-speaking Africa have diminished, as have the post-Cold War ideologies that dominated the entire second part of the 20th century. Today Africa wants to be itself, it is “Africanophone” if you allow it. Africa expects more equality, respect, equity and justice in its relations and partnerships with the rest of the world, with the major powers, whatever they may be. Today Africans want to be true partners. In the concert of nations, Africa must be listened to for dialogue to have meaning. The lack of listening perverts the meaning of the dialogue, which turns into a juxtaposition of monologues and biased reasons. Africa certainly does not have the same megaphones as the great powers of the world, but the voice of Africa counts and must count if we want to have Africa as a partner on major international issues. Moreover, Africa expects a true partnership and our allies must make an effort to accept the spirit of such a partnership. Our allies cannot always expect unconditional support from the continent. Africa wants to cooperate with its allies on the basis of its well-understood interests. #UNGA #UNGA2023 #UNGA78 #Africanophonie #APA #AfricanPoliticalAlliance #PanafricanCongress #LomePanafricanCongress #Lome2024 #Panafrican #Panafricanism #LPSF #LPSF2023 #OurAfrica

NOW DECLASSIFIED: CIA PLOTTED COUP AGAINST NKRUMAH Ghana's president, John Dramani Mahama, says that newly declassified documents from the US archives implicate the CIA in the coup that ousted the nation's first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. Mahama made the significant announcement on 6 March during the celebrations marking Ghana's 68th Independence Day. Nkrumah, a prominent pan-African figure during Africa's decolonisation, envisioned an industrialised Ghana that would lead the continent towards self-sufficiency. His aspirations were abruptly halted when a military and police coup took place on 24 February 1966, while he was on a diplomatic mission in China. As a pan-Africanist and socialist, Nkrumah launched initiatives aimed at achieving political and economic independence for Africa during a period when much of the continent remained under colonial rule. He dreamed of a united Africa liberated from imperialism, a vision he actively pursued by organising the first All-African Peoples’ Conference in Accra, Ghana, in 1958. In 1963, he was instrumental in founding the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), the forerunner of the African Union (AU). Due to his dedication to socialism and pan-Africanism, his willingness to work with the Soviet Union and China, and his efforts to foster anti-imperialism across Africa and beyond, Nkrumah increasingly became perceived as a threat by the US government, which initiated plans to depose him. The coup in 1966 disrupted Ghana's path to industrialisation and led to prolonged political turmoil. Today, the West African nation grapples with substantial foreign debts owed to imperialist institutions such as the IMF, while ordinary citizens face rising living costs - an unfortunate departure from Nkrumah's original vision. Additionally, Western powers have similarly undermined other influential African leaders, including Patrice Lumumba of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Amílcar Cabral in Guinea-Bissau and Sylvanus Olympio of Togo.
