Will Africa Ever Unite?

“As far as I am concerned, I am in the knowledge that
death can never extinguish the torch which I have lit
in Ghana and Africa, long after I am dead and gone the
light will continue to burn and be borne aloft giving
guidance to all people” – Kwame Nkrumah

Those were the words of a leader whose death we
commemorate today. And as we commemorate this day; the
34th anniversary of the death of Osagyefo Dr. Kwame
Nkrumah, the Nkrumaistforum urges all Nkrumaists to
reflect deeply on these words not only for nostalgia
but in order to have better understanding of the
relevance of the kind of society Nkrumah sort to build
in Ghana and Africa, for Ghana and Africa, and for all
oppressed people the world over.

In commemorating this day, we remember that Nkrumah
was greatly inspired by Marcus Garvey and guided by
Padmore and Dubois. Like many freedom fighters before
him and after him, Nkrumah wanted freedom for the
people of Africa and all oppressed peoples. Ghana’s
independence was therefore a manifestation of Marcus
Garvey’s dream.

Nkrumah himself therefore became an inspiration to
many African freedom fighters. And he became so
because, characteristically, he was a leader without
self-doubt. He demonstrated that quality from the dawn
of independence when he declared – defiantly,
emphatically and unapologetically, that the
independence of Ghana was meaningless unless linked
with the total liberation of Africa.

Time has proved Nkrumah was right in his realization
that true political and economic freedom for Africa
could only be assured if Africa was united. To this
end he dedicated the rest of his life which all of
oppressed Africa, especially blacks the world over
remember and celebrate.

His passion and dedication to see Africa unite was
beyond question. So true was this commitment that when
he was overthrown as President of Ghana. Sekou Toure
of Guinea offered him Co-President in Guinea. Nkrumah
therefore stands as the only former head of state of
two countries in the world. To this end the
Nkrumaistforum salutes Sekou Toure and the great
people of Guinea.

34 years after his death, the name Nkrumah still
arouses deep, and varied and emotions. But today, the
Nkrumaistforum would rather urge all Nkrumaists to let
go the passion and ask ourselves, if we have we seen
the light that Nkrumah lit over 34 years ago. We must
also ask ourselves what have we done individually and
collectively to keep this torch burning?

As evident from the myriad of problems that still
confront Africa and oppressed people the world over,
whatever we may have done is woefully inadequate. What
we as Nkrumaist, Africans and oppressed people the
world over must do; is to rededicate ourselves more
purposefully to African Unity. We must individually
and collectively move the African unity project from
conference rooms, paper pushing seminars and fanfares
for our leaders, to grass-root education and
organization to compel our individual leaders to unite
us politically and economically.

It is our historic mission as Nkrumaist. We fail in
this mission, and we fail our people. Marcus Garvey
said; any race that fails to do what it must do to
survive will perish. Like Nkrumah, Marcus Garvey is
gone. It remains our duty to keep the torch burning.
It remains our duty to stay alive. It remains our duty
to ensure that before the end of the first half of
this century, Africa is united politically and
economically.

On this momentous day, the Nkrumaistforum urges all
Nkrumaist to begin the grass-roots education and
organization towards this end. Africa must unite,
Africans must be free. It is only when this noble
objective has been achieved that Nkrumaists can walk
with their heads held high.
