Battle for Africa
Battle for Africa Kɔrɔ Naka 64 Views • 3 years ago

⁣In the 1960s most African countries gained their independence but more than six decades later they still experience political and economic pressure from the West. African current laws concerning resource extraction make it as easy as possible for private corporations to take resources out of the continent. And in most of the countries production licences that were issued by former colonial institutions are still in place. However, Africans’ growing awareness that they can form their own self-governance creates more freedom of choice for African countries, and makes them less dependent on the Europeans.
In 2022 Mali openly defied French neo-colonialism and forced the international coalition to withdraw troops from the country after decades of presence. ‘All of Africa is watching Mali right now. We are adjusting our course in Africa here in Mali. <...> I think we are gradually moving towards our sovereignty’, says painter and art history professor Oumar Kamara. He believes that European democracy doesn’t match African culture. ‘But in Russia, I realised that we were respected in Africa. They had a totally different policy and opinion concerning African countries. Neither the Soviet Union nor Russia ever colonised any African countries’, adds the scholar. Thus, in their battle for freedom, a growing number of Africans are willing to have closer ties with Russians, as they think Russia can give them security. What future awaits rapidly growing African society?

"Cobalt Red": Smartphones & Electric Cars Rely on Toxic Mineral Mined in Congo by Chil
"Cobalt Red": Smartphones & Electric Cars Rely on Toxic Mineral Mined in Congo by Chil Kwabena Ofori Osei 37 Views • 3 years ago

The Democratic Republic of the Congo produces nearly three-quarters of the world's cobalt, an essential component in rechargeable batteries powering laptops, smartphones and electric vehicles. But those who dig up the valuable mineral often work in horrific and dangerous conditions, says Siddharth Kara, an international expert on modern-day slavery and author of _Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives_. In an in-depth interview, he says the major technology companies that rely on this cobalt from DRC to make their products are turning a blind eye to the human toll and falsely claiming their supply chains are free from abuse, including widespread child labor. "The public health catastrophe on top of the human rights violence on top of the environmental destruction is unlike anything we've ever seen in the modern context," says Kara. "The fact that it is linked to companies worth trillions and that our lives depend on this enormous violence has to be dealt with."

The Pan African Congress Movement (PACM) is promoting the theme of the Grand African Renaissance for a number of successive African Liberation Day (ALD) conferences. As 2023 will be the second year we use the theme, the title of ALD this year is, The Grand African Renaissance (Part 2).The Grand African Renaissance means that we Africans must have a Grand African Renaissance (or Grand African Renewal or Rebirth) as individuals and as a people, so that we may return to our authentic African culture and modernise it, so that we may manifest our Pan African ideals. This Grand African Renaissance will not be achieved overnight and has to focus on the following areas: Spirituality, Languages, Health, Economics, Politics, Entertainment, Education, Labour, Law, Sex and War.This show is the ALD launch event, an international, and Pan African panel reasoning on: How do we support the Grand African Renaissance individually and as a people?The Pan African, international, panellists are: Baba Professor James Small.A scholar activist, dynamic speaker, and organisational consultant.

We will do this jointly with like-minded Africans and African organisations in the UK and globally, as the sum of our parts are greater than our individual efforts.
