welcome to candid africa truthful and unapologetic i remember two years later in casablanca morocco
the usage once again reminded his audience at least those who cared to listen to him
that they imperialists have left but remember that the imperialists like the cheetah before it never
changes its spots he may wear different masks but he changes not kwame may not have been a prophet
but his words have been fulfilled over the years three years later on the 25th day of may 1963
in our disciple by ethiopians if possessed he told those who are present
if we do not unite now if we do not leave with a single government now
if we allow our little countries to be the basis of our organization
then let me tell you in a few years a new order will have come into place
the neoconol colonial project it will be more dangerous more rapacious more pernicious and
all of us will pay once again he was right he was even right before he spoke because in 1961
the man for whom i am named patrice lumumba had been assassinated by the belgians
two years later sylvan was olympia of togo had been assassinated
three years later the osaki for himself had been taken out via kudita
one year later in 1967 namdi azikiwe had been taken out and abubakar south of our balewa
and they saw donor of soccer to hamadu bello had been removed from power
many followed ahmed bin bella followed modibo keita followed and those who remained it was not
for want of effort on the part of the earth while colonizers
could it has became as frequent as breakfast in africa
