Join us for an eye-opening discussion featuring Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao, former African Union ambassador to the United States, and Peter Grear. In this video, we delve into Dr. Arikana's powerful speech at the 14th Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Lectures at Cape Coast University in Ghana. She challenges the narrative of Africa's independence, revealing how the 1950s and 60s decolonization efforts left Africa with superficial "freedom," symbolized by a tree whose roots have been neglected.

Dr. Arikana passionately critiques Africa's leadership and multinational corporations, calling them modern-day colonizers. She praises the recent youth-led uprisings in countries like Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso, which mark the start of Africa's peaceful economic liberation. Emphasizing the importance of knowledge in this revolution, Dr. Arikana calls for required readings such as Kwame Nkrumah’s works and Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
