Join the United Africa Movement!

Nimepokea kwa email:

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

"It is clear that we must find an African solution to our problems, and that this can only be found in African unity. Divided we are weak; united, Africa could become one of the greatest forces for good in the world.

Although most Africans are poor, our continent is potentially extremely rich. Our mineral resources, which are being exploited with foreign capital only to enrich foreign investors, range from gold and diamonds to uranium and petroleum. Our forests contain some of the finest woods to be grown anywhere.

Our cash crops include cocoa, coffee, rubber, tobacco and cotton. As for power, which is an important factor in any economic development, Africa contains over 40% of the potential water power of the world, as compared with about 10% in Europe and 13% in North America, not mentioning the wealth of solar potentials.Yet so far, less than 1% has been developed. This is one of the reasons why we have in Africa the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty, and scarcity in the midst of abundance..."

Kwame Nkrumah from "I Speak of Freedom A Statement of African Ideology"

If this was true in the 1960s when Nkrumah so articulately expressed it, sadly, same still obtains today, more than half a century later. From Cape to Cairo; Cape Verde to Madagascar, we are stirring up a new generation of Africans demanding real change, which is why, like Marcus Garvey, Patrice Lumumba, Gamal Abdel Nasser and Kwame Nkrumah before us, a United Africa is our Mission! Let's take her back!
Consider this your "Call to Duty".

Kwame Nkrumah wa Ghana

Kwame Nkrumah na mke wake na machifu huko Ghana siku ya Januari 20, 1963


Ule ukumbi mkuu wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam, unitwa Nkrumah Hall. Ilipewa jina hiyo kwa heshima ya rais wa Kwanza wa Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah.

Ghana ilikuwa nchi ya kwanza ya weusi kupata Uhuru barani Afrika. Ilipata Uhuru mwaka 1957 kutoka Uingereza. Mwaka 1960, Nkrumah alitangaza kuwa Ghana ni Jamhuri. Mwaka 1964, alisema yeye ni rais wa maisha ya nchi hiyo. Alikataza vyama vyote vya siasa isipokuwa chama chake.

Mwaka 1966 alipokuwa safarini China, alipinduliwa. Alikufa akiwa exile nchini Romania mwaka 1972.

Nkrumah alikuwa na ndoto ya bara Afrika kuwa, UNITED STATES OF AFRICA. Wadau mnadhani kuwa bara Afrika inaweza kuwa nchi moja kama majimbo ya Marekani? Tulivyo na lugha na utamaduni tofauti na ukabila sidhani kama itawezekana kwa sasa. Labda baada ya miaka 200!
