Brothers and Sisters, We believe the time has come for the Global African Community to prove to themselves, once and for all, that they are neither negligent nor complacent. Up until now all pressure to assist in developing the African Continent has come from International Organizations, which are, in most cases, non-African. So far their efforts have yielded success in garnering support for the cancellation of debts to the poorest countries of Africa, but their still remains much work to be done. We must prove to the world, once and for all, that we are not complacent; but rather a determined force, when we are well informed, more than capable of lobbying and supporting our leaders, to ensure they make the correct decisions which will create positive changes to the African People. As we are well aware democracy is a veritable platform to achieve these goals and we need to continue to stress the importance of free speech as a vital key for development and progress. |
