⁣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?

⁣Benin is considered the home of voodoo, a religion often portrayed as black magic. Many voodoo rituals are shrouded in mystery and misunderstood. So are voodoo convents that are scattered across southern Benin. Local children spend months and even years behind the convent walls because their parents send them there. They believe it would appease the spirits in case of an illness or bad luck.
In voodoo monasteries, children are given new names and are forbidden to use their old ones, wear old clothes and speak their native language. Instead, they study voodoo customs and language and are initiated into secrets. Leaving a voodoo monastery requires a special ceremony that costs parents $50, an unaffordable sum for most in Benin.
Voodoo priests and supporters say keeping children in convents is necessary to preserve voodoo culture and traditions, but activists disagree. Children confined in convents miss out on education and sometimes have no one to return to because their parents are not around anymore. Activists from organisations like ReSPESD seek to reduce the time children spend in convents and cut the price of a release ceremony.
Activists are also working with local leaders in the programme, explaining the importance of education for Beninese children. While many are ready to change, some remain adamant. Hear from voodoo priests, local kings and children about life inside the convents and what voodoo means to them.

The US and France have threatened foreign intervention to re-install a pro-Western regime in Niger, which produces uranium needed for nuclear energy and hosts large US drone bases. This follows coups led by nationalist, anti-colonial military officers in neighboring Burkina Faso and Mali, which warn intervention could set off a regional war in West Africa.

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.

Today we will explore the political application of Afrikan Identity throughout history to the present day; and the necessity of clarity in Identity as a foundation Afrikan problem solving and visionary nation building.
