RE: Calling All Africa, Let Us United

in #steemit7 years ago

The African Renaissance which we never cease to call with all our wishes should be neither a stake wish nor an empty shell. It is a noble, relevant, even necessary objective in the historical period we are living. Has it not been said somewhere that "African man has not entered history sufficiently"? Should we invalidate or confirm this assertion? Kwame Nkrumah, Sheikh Anta Diop, Nelson Mandela, and closer to us Thabo Mbeki, and others have not called for a burst of "African regeneration"? It is the same for Joseph Ki Zerbo and the various researchers and activists of the Pan-African cause who necessarily pose as a prerequisite the African Renaissance.
But does the photographic snapshot of the moment, the general situation of Africa, militate in favor of this noble ideal?
It is true that it may seem redundant, even tiresome, even useless to continue to dwell on the need for Africans to take - finally - body-fasten their own destiny, like all the nations of the world. But we must sacrifice to tradition and give our point of view on the question, however modest it may be. In any case, would our conscience allow us to fail in our duty
