Pan-Africanism


In the wake of the death of the Queen of Britain Queen Elizabeth II, social media particularly from Africa and the Commonwealth was awash with statements about how her reign looted precious resources from African countries.

Pan-Africanism, the idea that peoples of African descent have common interests and should be unified. Historically, Pan-Africanism has often taken the shape of a political or cultural movement. There are many varieties of Pan-Africanism.

With that said, Pan-Africanism should not be a lament of how the Imperialists disuniteid and looted from Africa but rather the author is of the opinion that Pan-Africanism should have been a Think Tank to develop the African Agenda.

If the earliest Pan-Africanists brought Independence then the post independence Pan-Africanists should have carried the mantle through the creation of Think Tanks and continue the promotion of the Pan-Africanism movement that every descendant of the continent.

Our continued lament of the atrocities of the ruthless period of Imperialism means we are not ready to move and change the face of the African Continent.
Our duty now is to plan and work the plans of promoting the African Agenda through Pan-Africanism
