Africa Must Unite Against Neocolonialism And Imperialism http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/artikel.php?ID=205367

Over half a century ago, one of Africa’s most illustrious sons, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah fearlessly fought for and led the present day Ghana to achieve independence from British colonial rule. At the time, Nkrumah did not only believe that the Blackman was capable of managing or worse still, mismanaging his own affairs, but he also foresaw and exposed the subtle machinations and exploitations by the Western powers to perpetually maintain the status quo by ensuring that the African continent and indeed most part of the world remained divided and for that matter incapacitated economically, politically, and most importantly militarily.

It is time for Africa to unite and resist the oppressors’ rule. Ghadafy is not the enemy of Africa and the world. The enemy is the 21st century form of neocolonialism and imperialism which uses brute military force against emerging economies not only in Africa but throughout the world. No country in the world has the moral right to decide who should be the leaders of other sovereign countries. It is the inherent obligation of citizens of each country to choose their own leaders through non violence processes.

In the 21st century I expect America and her so called allies to encourage and support smooth, non violence, well thought out constitutional democratic change of governments not only in Africa but throughout the world. The use of military force, civil disturbances and violence to change political regimes belong to the past. Any attempt to use military force to settle disputes either political or otherwise is self defeating at best. America’s “unsuccessful” invasion in Iraq is still fresh in our memories. Enough is enough. Above all, I dare say that Africa Must Unite
