An Open Letter To The Imperialists And Neo-Colonialists: Arise African Youth!

How Sad To See Videos And Read Of Allegations Of How The Children Of Slave Owners Are Still Using The Children Of Slaves Children Like A Certain Black General Who In Himself Have Hard His First Share Of Racial Discrimination To Intimidate And Want To Still Do The Biddings Of His Modern Slave Masters. This Is Disheartening, Baffling And Beyond Comprehension. Sir You Are Not An American, You Are An African! Be Reminded By The Hanga Proverb That, “The Spots Of A Sheep Does Not Make It A Wolf And Give It Immunity Against The Wolf”!

It Is Equally Mind Bugling And Naive For The West To Still Think That, The African Today Is Same As The African Their Forebears Looted, Surprisingly Africa Has Changed And Most Africans Now Have Seen A Great Light. They Have Become Wiser And Rough With Tough Backs By Your Consistent Bullying.

Perhaps, Western Imperialist And Neo-Colonialist Feel Their Encounters With The Few Greedy Old Puppets Of Old African Leaders Who Lick Their Buts And They Dough Them Off With A Few Cents To Buy Their Conscience Make Them Think These Old Fools Without Conscience Represents The Reasoning Of The African Today. No Sir!

Dear Imperialists And Neo-Colonialists, The Africa Of Centuries Ago, Is Different From The Africa Today. The Africa That Did Not See Luxury As Part Of Human Life Is No More! The Continent Is Now Awake To Know That, God Did Not Put All The Gold, Bauxite, Uranium, Diamond, Oil And Other Natural Resources On The Continent Of Africa For Fun And For Imperialists And Neo-Colonialists To Come Carry It Away, Whiles Throwing The Crumps And Dust Of The Resources Into The Eyes And Palms Of The Few Greedy Old African Leaders Who Cannot Read Between The Lines.

Who Has Deceived You To Still Hold That The African Is Not Worth Anything Good? Why Do You Still Hold That, The African Does Not Belong? Why Are You Bitter To See Africa Have Good Schools? Good Roads? Good Factories? Good Hospitals? Good Leadership Managing The Affairs Of Their Own Affairs As The First President Of Ghana Osagyiefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah Pronounced? Why? Why Do You Think The African Is A Second Class Human And Should Not Be Treated As Humans Like You? Why Do You Think The Blood In You Is Different From The Blood In The African? Why Do You Think You Are Deserve Comfort But The African Deserve Suffering? The Marks Of Slavery Remains Fresh On Our Minds As We Connect The Dots From Wasipe To Salaga Ending It All At Elmina Among Others.

While I Address You In Pain, It Is A Shame Swallow The Reality Of The Few Old Fools On The Continent Of Africa With No Conscience Who Have Been Bought To Sell Out The Continent With Its Natural Resources To You. And These Old People Should Bow Their Heads In Shame. You Who Have Nothing To Offer Your Teaming Youths Will Do Your Best To Be Loyal And Not Betray Their Efforts To Take Back Their Dignity And Inheritance From The Bullies Of The West. How Long Should Must African Youths Die Crossing The Desert? How Long Should The African Youths Keep Drowning In High Seas In Search For So Called Greener Pastures? Is That Africans Cannot Create Greener Pastures And Eat Their Own Pastures On Their Continent? Alas, This Is The Time; It Is The Century Of Africa!

My Advice To The USA And France Aggression On Burkina Faso Is That, Africa Has Changed And You May Have The Shock Of Your Lives If You Hurt This Young Friend Leading His Country Unto Freedom And Prosperity. How Is That Your Business? Have You Not Looted Enough?

The African Youth Will Not Sit Back Anymore While You Quench And Silence The Voices Of Our “Prophets”. Our Continental Prophets Like Dr Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana Was Killed But We Remained Quiet, You Came Back For Thomas Sankara of Burkina Faso We Did Not Cough, Then You Demanded For Patrice Lumumba Of Democratic Republic Of Congo Without Any Question, And We Regrettably Greedily Sold Out Muammar Gaddafi Of Libya To You, Gladly You Accepted And In Return You Gave Us Pain As You Switched Off Our Light.

Today You Are Back Again Demanding For A Young Prophet By Name Ibrahim Troare Of Burkina Faso. The News Is That, This Term Round, We Will Keep Our Own. The Whole Of The Continent Is Behind Him And Countless Outside Of The Continent Are With Him. You Cannot Silence This Rising Voice. Your Intelligence Should Tell You That, This Ibrahim Troare Is Not The Usual Like His Forebears You Took Down. Cant’ You Hear The Roaring Of Support Behind Him Across The Entire Continent. From Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Guinea And All Over The Continent?

How Can There Be Peace In The World When The White Skinned Folks Still Feel They Are Superior To The Black Skinned Person? How Can We Talk About Justice When The Resources Of Africa Is Not Processed On The Continent But Outside Of The Continent And Any Attempt To Do So Is Met By Imperialist Aggression As Witnessed In Recent Times? How Can There Be Justice When The Ordinary Cocoa Farmer In Ghana Knows Not What Goes Into The Pricing Of The Cocoa Beans He Labours All Year Round To Produce? How Can There Be Justice When The Annual Budgets Of African Nations Are Drilled And Controlled By Colonialists And Imperialists Funding Strings? How Can Africa Be Relegated To The Background When It Comes To Discussions On Human Dignity?

Africa When Given A Fare Playing Ground Needs No Continent On The Earth But Every Continent Needs Africa. From Human Capital To Natural Resources, Every Continent Needs Africa. What Africa Needs Is Not Western Domination, But A Fair Playing Ground To Recover From Slavery. America And France Must Back Up From Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso Is Not Your Business Nor Your Responsibility.

And To The People Of Burkina Faso Troare Is Your Light And You Cannot Allow Anybody To Switch Him Off. Rise Up And Fight For Your Country And Your Freedom From Imperialists. Do Not Be Intimidated By Anyone. If You Fail Him, You Will Live To Regret. Go And Ask Ghanaians Today About Kwame Nkrumah! And Ask The People Of Libya After Gaddafi Was Killed!

To The African Youth, This Is A Time To Take Our Place On The Global Stage. No More Intimidation. The African Is Capable. Yes We Can! Enough Is Enough!!
