Commander Che :
My humble opinion is that, if only various African academics/educators will convince our govts to review our academic curriculum and make all of these books as mentioned by our two learned academics, to be compulsory History books for African schools. This will help to enlighten African students about these laudable proposals by the Pan- African writers of the early debates. The reason is that the genz of Africa are the least enlightened about what Pan- Africanism means for Africa's future development. All what our young ones below ages 40 know is about our individual countries, like being Ghanaians, Nigerians, Kenyans, Tanzanians, South Africans, Congolese, Ethiopians, Egyptians, Libyans etc etc. Our youth who did not live or read widely through Africa's colonial past have very limited knowledge about the early debates on Pan- Africanism. Therefore, the ordinary African needs to be conscientized to start seeing ourselves as Africans instead of as Mozambicans, or South Africans, or Ghanaians, or Malians, or Chadians,Senegalese,Madagascans, Burkinabes etc.
In fact our advocacy for a United States of Africa need to assume a more intense and conscious approach targeting every sector of the African citizenry.
Dr. Kwame Nkrumah has revealed to us that "the forces that unite us as Africans are far greater than the difficulties that divide us". This wise saying must be viewed as a solid foundation for realizing the most important dream of a United Africa.
