The West In Panic As Africa Decides To Start Manufacturing Nuclear Weapons Professor Lumumba advocates for a united Africa without borders between its countries. He envisions a return to Africa's historical state, which existed for thousands of years before European colonial powers arrived, enslaved people, and divided the continent by drawing arbitrary lines on its map to create and divide countries based on their interests. It is ironic that Europe decided the fate of a whole continent without consulting its inhabitants. Even though colonialism and slavery formally ended, Africa still faces a modern form of exploitation known as neocolonialism. African countries continue to struggle against this system, which suppresses their independence whenever they strive for full autonomy. The ease of Western interference and intervention in Africa can be attributed to the absence of fear regarding African sovereignty. Western countries openly exploit and interfere, knowing they will face no consequences. This is where Lumumba's concept of Africa possessing nuclear weapons emerges. He suggests that such possession would create a deterrent effect, making Western powers think twice before exploiting or interfering in Africa. Lumumba's statements have caused significant impact in the Western world. He asserts that the roots of exploitation in Africa can be traced back to slavery, which gradually evolved into colonization. The Berlin Conference serves as a notable example, where European powers gathered to divide the African continent into spheres of influence. This division occurred due to the allure of colonization, driven by various realities and agitation from the continent. Nevertheless, Africa eventually regained its independence. Renowned African-American scholar John Henrik Clarke emphasized that Africa's independence was restored by mimicking European governance systems. However, Clarke pointed out that no African country could truly thrive solely based on those systems. Subsequently, a new neocolonial project emerged, as described by Kwame Nkrumah in his book “Neocolonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism.“ Today, we find ourselves in a new colonial stage characterized by cunning actions from European and American powers. Lumumba highlights that Western interference was evident during the G7 summit in Hiroshima, manifested through military training, diplomatic maneuvers, economic infrastructure control, dollarization, and influence in education. This neocolonial project persists through institutions like the IMF, the World Bank, as well as organizations like UK Aid and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which act as Trojan horses, influencing Africa's systems and infiltrating its institutions.
