THE SOLUTION TO THE MISTREATMENT OF AFRICANS IS IN THE HANDS OF AFRICANS – Ooooota Sebastian Adepo
The key to addressing Africans’ mistreatment rests with them. We must create a politically stable, intellectually empowered, and socioeconomically unified Africa. As the President of Ghana recently emphasized, when African nations begin to take themselves seriously, the rest of the world will follow suit.
A major step in this direction was taken in March 2018, when 44 of Africa’s 54 nations agreed to establish the Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA). This landmark agreement holds immense potential, aiming to increase intra-African trade, which currently stands at just 12%, and move it closer to the European Union’s remarkable figure of 65%.
While this represents meaningful progress, a critical question remains: are agreements and symbolic gestures enough? What practical steps can be taken to ensure these initiatives lead to real and lasting change for Africans?
