Who are the visionaries for Africa. Which leaders will take up the mantle for Africa's development. Who will take over from the independence leaders . At independence, leaders who stood for Africa's interests were either overthrown or quickly assassinated by America's CIA, or French and British intelligence officers. Any leader that offered even an iota of fighting for the common African was quickly eliminated.
I have in mind such leaders as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, DR Congo's Patrice Lumumba among others. The leaders who overstayed in power were those who were able to sing the tune of the coloniser. I have in mind such leaders as Mobutu Sese Seko of DR Congo, and Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso.
What can young Africans do to promote the agenda of the visionaries and discard the greediness of the traitors to the African cause?
One, we must fight differently. Today's battles will be in the hearts and minds rather than in the battlefields. In the age of globalisation, the threats to Africa are ever more present. The former colonisers have regrouped and are now the new globalists, aiming to subjugate Africa just as their ancestors did. This must not be allowed to happen.
