Patrice Lumumba. Lumumba was a great African patriot who was murdered with the assistance of the CIA under the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose assassination was also supported by Kennedy who followed Eisenhower in office. They killed them all, and expect us to be kinder and with a gladdened understanding they will continue to make us look foolish; but we are not.
As a member of the so called International community; if our other member western leftist and rightist countries are sincere towards peace and development in Africa; they would have created a certain peace and good development pattern; and help by using their media to preach peace building, and motivate Africans to be truly independent. Rather they decided to skulk in the shadows becoming an aberration that has doomed Africa; the imperialist nomenclature is a taboo to the appreciation of an ordinary African.
There has never been a sustained peace movement to stop the war in Congo or most of Africa. And there is imperialist-inspired war all over Africa. The people suffering from these wars have no access to healthcare, clean water. Millions of people are living in concentration camps called refuge centres, which are nothing but death camps. The sincerity on the part of the west, is purely a decoy; and as an expert in this sensitive area of International politics and jurisprudence; Britain, France and the US has not done anything to support Africa towards complete independence. The imperialists loot, kill and impose conditions on the people in Africa and their erstwhile middle east. What is responsible for the wars all over Africa?
These are wars to reverse the gains made through the struggles for independence. The response of the U.S. was to impose war in all the places where they could not control the situation directly. The genuineness for Africa’s development; their so called “21st century mass movement” to short-change leaders in Africa for their so called democratic surplices. Would this be taken in the height of democracy and good governance?
Africans especially the youths, and all the anti-imperialist worldwide to come together around the world in support of our common struggle to liberate and unite Africa and African people worldwide. The reason for my campaign which I have set out to do it so mount a 20yrs crusade to sensitize Africans in Africa and elsewhere through the world to build a common youth fronts, to express our desires and work towards agenda implementation. This as a platform opposing not the imperialist-sponsored wars in Africa, though inclusive, yet it is to establish a formidable peace warfare to embrace our responsible to rebuild Africa and quench our taste with the call to take immediate action towards our overall development in Africa. This must be a unanimous agreement to work together.
I tried last year to make a roll call also to the participant and organizers of the international Day of Action on August 20, 2010, honouring the August 17 birthday of Marcus Garvey, where Africans and all others would have mobilized in opposition of war on Africa, and on the continent and African people everywhere else. Unfortunately economic tsunami welcome its mighty praise on me
Africans everywhere must oppose Africom, the U.S. Africa Command that has been created to protect the imperialist status quo in Africa.
In rigorous citations; what about a long-term rundown on the history of war against Haiti, especially its successful struggle to defeat colonial slavery imposed on the people by France with the collaboration of the entire white world. Africans must research deeply on the history of support for the Haitian resistance and opposition to imperialist aggression there; black organizations worldwide must begin urgently to call for reparations to Haiti from the U.S. and France.
What about the synthesis that is blowing heavily? What about a probing on sharp analysis on the issue of psychological warfare, the ongoing, necessary assault on the consciousness of African people colonized in the U.S. by the various forms of media, functioning as a weapon of the colonial state? Have we thought about this?
What are the foundation lesions we have all learnt from the history of oppression and its current articulation in Colombia, where African people exist as an oppressed, colonized community, marginalized and under constant violent attacks and threats of violence from a neo-colonial state in the service of U.S. imperialism? Do Africans know this things at all? Do I begin to reiterate the sharp analysis put forward in the past and present on the rigorous living conditions of the Black Nation?
Do I further reiterate to excoriated the U.S. government for its colonial practices of mass incarceration of Africans in general and the criminalization and incarceration of political prisoners, those brave women and men who have often led the resistance of our people to U.S. colonial oppression? What about the use of the police in the U.S. as military occupation forces that regularly harass, brutalize and murder African people?
Need I say more? Are you aware that the damage done by imperialism to our people also includes damage to the psyche that will require a united effort by Africans ourselves to repair?
In my recommendation, I posited that a true Black Global Conference must be organized by a coalition of all known Black Organizations in the world and look into grey areas for immediate development, since asking for reparation will take a long while. We must begin to demonstrate our willingness to grow and outgrowth events; to start small but violently achieve a greater value of success.
All of the presentations in this conference should be empirically anchored towards reconstructing Africa; and encourages the Black people worldwide to return back home and help build Africa. This conference should opine and clearly demonstrate the significance of having this conference by Africans to examine the issue of war and peace on our own terms and not as people whose definitions have to meet the approval of a white left that often uses resource monopoly as a means to shape the discussions and agendas in Africa and African Communities worldwide.
This is my take in all of the issues that grieve me about Africa, and my hope in the years to come.
