Young Africa:



Young Africa: Rise Up and Be
Counted
alf a for A menH century ago frica was be and women the liberation struggle tween African young of conscience against the white supremacists inform of colonial masters.
Conversely, in the present day ,Africa still seems unliberated and being held captive politically, socially and economically.
The liberation struggle for Africa is now unique to the extent that half a century ago it was between young Africans against white supremacists inform of colonial masters but presently, the liberation struggle is between young Africans and African tyrants plus dictators.
Indeed and in fact there is a battle and a struggle ensuing; where post colonial African leaders have turned into evil tyrants and dictators who have a diabolical disposition that states " power belongs to individuals but not the people".
This evil disposition being held by present day African tyrants and dictators is fallacious both in

And it should be uprooted from the very core of its basis and foundation.
Dictatorship is an evil form of authority that yields civil unrest and the suffocation of both gifted and talented people alike.
It's in this very respect that dictatorship and tyranny should be fought with every equipment at the disposal of young Africa.
The economic backwardness of Africa as a continent is directly connected to the spirit of dictatorship and tyranny.
If we as a young African people can be fully determined to defeat dictatorship and tyranny then the economic and social situation of Africa shall experience prosperity.
With dictatorship and tyranny comes impunity and the same gives birth to a corruption prone society.
A society where a few individuals within the corridors of power embezzle public funds at the expense of society growth.
There is never the effective movement of social services delivery in an environment of dictatorship and tyranny.
The gap between the rich and the poor can't be bridged in a dictatorship.
Because the divide between the rich and the poor facilitates and empowers dictatorship and tyranny.
Its on this very occasion that young Africans ought to rise up and be counted.
And young Africans can only be counted in their collective effort to get ride of the dictatorship that is literally holding an entire continent captive.
Marcus Harvey once quipped and said, " Arise you mighty race and accomplish what You will."
Those same words should be the wind in the back of every young African in this present season and time.
There is too much to accomplish as an Africa race.
However this seems almost but impossible because with the shackles of dictatorship and tyranny are at the neck of Africa , and the dreams of Africa seem to be far fetched.

The moment present day young Africans rise up and fight to be free from the shackles of dictatorship and tyranny then the liberation of Africa shall commence in a fundamental context and style.
The method of liberating Africa by her young people should begin with engaging in unique forms of deep education .
Deep forms of education are critical to the awakening of the conscience and the moment the conscience of one's being is awakened then a light ball is turned on both spiritually and mentally.
The awakening of one's conscience furthermore builds the mental faculty of strength.
Young Africans can't afford to be mentally weak anymore.
There is need to build muscles of the psyche.
In order to be able to confront that which threatens the progress of sun-kissed mother Africa on an intellectual level that intimidates ignorancy.

Ignorancy is evil for it compromises dictatorship and tyranny.
Little wonder that most dictators develop several strategies in keeping a people bond in ignorancy.
Because an ignorant society helps dictatorship to thrive immensely.
In the fight against dictatorship and tyranny , young Africans should understand that dictatorship and tyranny are a spirit.
And spiritual forces are many times than not overcome in the spirit realm.
Thus there is a need for there to be a group of spiritual warriors skilled and gifted in the art of spiritual warfare.
This is imperative because the first victory against dictatorship and tyranny can only take place on a spiritual plane.
It's time to wage war against dictatorship and tyranny in the spirit of God. The scripture stipulates in 2 Chronicles 7:14 " if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
The healing of the land in the aforementioned scriptural dross denotes the deliverance of a nation from dictatorship and tyranny.
In addition the fight against dictatorship and tyranny by young Africans should be one that is underpinned by love .
Love is the most powerful of all entities.
For without love nothing can be accomplished.
Young Africans need to love others and self as much as the motherland.
The term Africa literally means the first of her kind.
Thus every African young and old should be self determined and self confident because we are a unique and blessed group of people.
Every young African should understand that they ought to stand up and be counted in the fight for the liberation of sun-kissed mother Africa.
undoubtedly the liberation of Africa from dictatorship will come however it will come faster when young Africa stands up , rises up and begins to act against the dictatorship and tyranny of the day.
Free speech irritates the tyrant and every dictator; thats why those who operate in the authority of dictatorship and tyrant always try to crush free speech.
As a matter of fact there men who posit themselves as servants of the most high God that have forsaken the way of God inorder to alignment themselves up with the dictstorship simply because the dictatorship has offered them material wealth.
Somaliland ; A Beacon of Hope in the Democratization of Africa
ith nearly 80 arising fromW % p of all the proble olitically related ms in Africa conflicts.
conflicts that are essentially fuelled by political regimes that are undemocratic.
Yet they refuse to make a transition from authoritarian proclivities to a democratic agenda.
Being enshrouded in political turmoil all the time the Hope of Africa now than ever before seems to be the democratic achievements of Somaliland.
Undeniably the best democratic and most successful democratic territory in present day Africa, Somaliland attained her independence from the British on the 26th of June 1960.
Upon receiving congratulatory notes from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11, and Christian Herter, the then US Secretary of state. Somalia United to create the Somali Republic and after the dissolution of the union every state returned to it's original name which is Somaliland and Somalia.
It was on 18th May 1991 that Somaliland declared her independence from Somalia after 30yrs old struggle .
And it was from that time that Somaliland embarked on a democratic journey that has since become a success story worth emulating by other bigger and richer African States.
All the more demonstrating that a nation does not have to be bigger geographically nor economically can achieve democratic success.
It's strange and also shocking to realize that's it's only 7 countries out of 49 countries in Africa that are considered 'free'.
According to Freedom House , an American organi-
