Chief Albert Luthuli Memorial lecture: Samia Nkrumah calls for Africa to unite via SABCNewsOnline
Chairperson of Ghana’s Convention People’s Party and daughter of that country’s first president,Samia Nkrumah was delivering the Chief Albert Luthuli Memorial lecture in Durban.“We are having this conversation at a time when recent developments in our continent necessitate that we quicken our steps towards unity. Today, we see African states occasionally closing their borders over trade and security issues.
Nkrumah also says through unity, Africa would be in a stronger position to control its economy and deal with security issues. “It’s obvious that we cannot do much if we are divided. The only way we can have the power to control our resources is to unite, to think, plan and work together. Through African unity we can at once deal with border disputes; have a coordinated defence system; a bigger voice on the international stage and of course, that stronger currency that will be backed by our resources.”
