Nkrumah foresaw Africa’s vulnerability without unity – P.L.O. Lumumba
Renowned Pan-Africanist and anti-corruption crusader Professor P.L.O. Lumumba has said Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah foresaw that Africa’s failure to unite would leave the continent vulnerable to domination, humiliation and external influence.
Pan-Africanist and anti-corruption advocate Professor P.L.O. Lumumba has highlighted that Ghanaian political leader Kwame Nkrumah foresaw the dangers of a fragmented Africa, warning that the continent would be vulnerable to domination, humiliation and external influence. The former Ghanaian leader, who would have celebrated his 117th birthday, foresaw the challenges Africa would face if it remained divided, Prof. Lumumba stated in an interview with JoyPrime's Israel Laryea.
Nkrumah recognized that an Africa lacking unity would struggle to protect its interests and address issues affecting its people, Prof. Lumumba added. He argued that had the continent and the international community heeded Nkrumah's call for African unity, the situation today might be different. Prof. Lumumba emphasized that the former leader foresaw the consequences of division, particularly in the realm of peace and security, as the continent continues to grapple with numerous conflicts that often result in humanitarian crises.
