Pan-Africanism a Liberating Force for All Humanity, P.L.O. Lumumba Reflects on Africa Day
Sputnik Africa
Each year on May 25, Africa Day stands as a celebration of identity, resilience, and aspiration. More than a commemoration, it is a reminder of Africa’s enduring spirit and a renewed call to fulfill the vision of a united, self-determined continent.
While honoring the legacy of those who fought for the continent’s freedom, Africa Day also shines a light on the road ahead. It is a moment to recommit to the ideals of unity, economic sovereignty, and cultural pride; principles that remain vital in realizing Africa’s full potential.In a compelling reflection, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, a Kenyan lawyer, thinker, and Pan-Africanist, better known across the continent as P.L.O. Lumumba warned that Africa's continued fragmentation has left it vulnerable to renewed forms of foreign control. He suggested that the continent's weakness emboldens former colonizers, who now act out of fear of losing influence over African states.To listen to the whole conversation, tune in to the Global South Pole podcast, brought to you by Sputnik Africa.In addition to the website, you can also catch our episodes on Telegram.► You can also listen to our podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Deezer, Castbox, Pocket Casts, Afripods, Podcast Addict, Overcast, and Mave Stream.► Check out all the episodes of Global South Pole.

Pan-Africanism a Liberating Force for All Humanity, P.L.O. Lumumba Reflects on Africa Day

Correspondent, Podcast Host
Each year on May 25, Africa Day stands as a celebration of identity, resilience, and aspiration. More than a commemoration, it is a reminder of Africa’s enduring spirit and a renewed call to fulfill the vision of a united, self-determined continent.
While honoring the legacy of those who fought for the continent’s freedom, Africa Day also shines a light on the road ahead. It is a moment to recommit to the ideals of unity, economic sovereignty, and cultural pride; principles that remain vital in realizing Africa’s full potential.
In a compelling reflection, Professor Patrick Loch Otieno Lumumba, a Kenyan lawyer, thinker, and Pan-Africanist, better known across the continent as P.L.O. Lumumba warned that Africa's continued fragmentation has left it vulnerable to renewed forms of foreign control. He suggested that the continent's weakness emboldens former colonizers, who now act out of fear of losing influence over African states.
“The former colonizers are now desperate; the French are desperate, the English are desperate. And they are desperate because they fear losing what they consider to be their [victims]. They fear, and we have a duty to ourselves to liberate ourselves so that we deal with what others have called not just decolonization, but decoloniality. So there is urgent work to be done as we commemorate Africa Day,” Professor Lumumba declared.
