Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Sorrow, tears and blood: France and its permanent colonies, By Toyin Falola

THANK YOU GLORIA AND GREETINGS TO ALL

THIS STATEMENT FROM KWAME NKRUMAH MAY BE OF INTEREST TO ALL

Without positive action, a colonial territory cannot be truly liberated. It is doomed to creep in its petty pace from day to day towards the attainment of sham independence that turns to dust, independence which is shot through and through with the supreme interest of an alien power.[92, p.104].

The prerequisite of a correct and global strategy to defeat neo-colonialism is the ability to discover and expose the way in which a state becomes neo-colonialist. For although a neo-colonialist state enjoys only sham independence it is to all outward appearance independent, and therefore the very roots of neo-colonialism must be traced back to the struggle for independence in a colony [94, p.98].

Besides, political independence, though worth while in itself, is still only a means to the fuller redemption and realization of a people. When independence has been gained, positive action requires a new orientation away from the sheer destruction of colonialism and toward national reconstruction.

It is indeed in this address to national reconstruction that positive action faces its dangers. The cajolement, the wheedling, the seductions and the Trojan horses of neo-colonialism must be stoutly resisted, for neo-colonialism is a latter-day harp, a monster that entices its victims with sweet music [92, p.105].
