In address to African freedom fighters on Facebook live, Ivan Kyei, a prominent political advocate and scholar, urged caution against the risk of inadvertently embarking on another colonial journey while seeking liberation. The impassioned speech took place on his Facebook live streaming addressing the new wind blowing within West African States.
As Africa continues to grapple with the legacy of colonialism and the quest for self-determination, Kyei’s remarks served as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between emancipation and the potential pitfalls of repeating past mistakes.
“Today, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in the struggle for African freedom. While the call for liberation is just and necessary, we must be vigilant in our pursuit, ensuring that we do not inadvertently fall into new forms of domination,” Kyei cautioned.
The political advocate emphasized that liberating oneself from the shackles of colonialism is a multifaceted journey. It involves not only political and economic independence but also the preservation of cultural identity, environmental sustainability, and equitable social development.
“We must remain true to the vision of a liberated Africa where our rich cultural heritage is celebrated, where our natural resources are managed responsibly for the benefit of our people, and where justice and equality prevail,” Kyei asserted.
He continued that there is need for a holistic approach to liberation, one that includes dialogue, reconciliation, and collaborative efforts among African nations and their citizens.
“Unity among African nations is the bedrock of our liberation. We must recognize that our strength lies in our collective will to uplift one another and challenge any potential neocolonial tendencies,” Kyei urged.
The cautionary message struck a chord with the audience, underscoring the importance of learning from history and safeguarding against the allure of exploitative relationships.
As the struggle for African freedom continues, Ivan Kyei’s words serve as a guiding light for those who seek genuine emancipation, emphasizing the imperative to be cautious, inclusive, and forward-thinking in the pursuit of a liberated Africa.
