Nationalism and Reparation in West Africa

Lang Fafa Dampha

Description

After more than 50 years of independence, sustainable reconstruction in the form of effective African integration and development has not been in line with the aspiration of African people. This has been symbolised by the transformation of the Organisation of African Unity to the African Union in 2002. Will the new African Union be able to remedy this situation? What is the essence of African reparation in this modern age of diplomacy and globalisation?

If we are to remain free, if we are to enjoy the full benefits of Africa’s rich resources, we must unite to plan for our total defence and the full exploitation of our material and human means in the full interest of all our people... ‘to go it alone’ will limit our horizons, curtail our expectations and threaten our liberty. Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, (Africa Must Unite).
