JOINT MEDIA RELEASEby the GREAT TRUST, COUNCIL FOR AFRIKA INTERNTIONAL AND

AFRIKA LIBERATION COUNCIL

Ghana @ 56: A Call For Rapid De-NeoColonisation, Full Independence,Advancement and Development through Conscientious Ethical Leadership

On the 56th Anniversary of Ghanas Declaration of Political Independence, the GREAT

Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Council extend

goodwill and cordial Patriotic Africanist Relations with Ghana and its Peoples at home

and in the Diaspora for the rapid attainment of the Ultimate Vision, Mission and

Purpose of the De-colonisation Struggle. We also commend Ghanas Leadership for

managing to prevent Ghana from plunging into outright violence as witnessed

elsewhere on the African Continent and other parts of the world.

It is noted that while strides have been made in the 56-year journey of post-Colonial

Ghana, it is regrettable that Ghana is still very much dependent on all things foreign

and un-African, and has not attained the aspirations and desires of the Pioneers of

Decolonisation in Ghana, not the least the necessary Economic, Political, Educational,

Military, Industrial, Engineering, Scientific, Medical, Technological Advancement, Self-

reliance or Self-sufficiency and Cultural Rediscovery envisaged by the Founding

Fathers and Mothers.

It is significant to remind that one of the crucial factors that distinguished the then

Gold Coast from the other Colonies was that the Pioneers of Decolonisation took a

stand to operate positively, radically differently from the norm, through an

uncompromising and categorical objection to the savagery and barbarism of

Colonialism. The attainment of political independence in Ghana thus became an

attractive proposition that snowballed into a cascade of Political Independence

Declarations by several other former Colonies on the African Continent. Without the

bold stand of the UGCC and the CPP to take a principal and principled stand against

Colonialism, the Declaration of Political Independence would have taken far longer andcostlier.

Similarly, Contemporary Ghanaian Leaders have the opportunity, luxury and duty of

democratic mandate to take a collectively uncompromising stand against Neo-

Colonialism, to be able to complete the unfinished business of Total Decolonisation

and Liberation of Ghana, permanently restore Justice and Freedom with the high

probability to positively repeat the history of contagion and reverberation throughout

the African Continent.

That Neo-Colonialism has been countenanced, accommodated and tolerated to becomean asphyxiating albatross around the neck of Africas Contemporary Leaders is

unacceptable as it is very costly in all senses, not the least, extremely undermining of

National, Regional and Continental Sovereignty as well as the Collective Wellbeing of

Ghanaians and the African Peoples.

Dr Koku Adomdza, President of the GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and

the Afrika Liberation Society reflects We share the generous goodwill of the Majority

Indigenous Ghanaians for Contemporary Leadership to rapidly attain the Vision and

Purpose of Total Decolonisation and Full Independence. That it has not been attained

for 56 years is a disaster. Make no mistake; the business of Neo-Colonialism is to

continue the agenda of Colonialism by entrenching and prolonging Ghanas

Dependency under African Self-Rule which undermines her Development and

Advancement.

It is a mirage to think that Neo-Colonialism will facilitate the delivery of Freedom,

Justice and Wholistic Independence to Ghana. Freedom, Justice and Independence

are not given, you claim it with all the tools you have, including Courage, Ethics,

Patriotism and Leadership. The best Neo-Colonialism can do for Ghana and Politically-

declared African Countries is to create exclusive privileges for Rulers against the

Majority of their citizens who are underprivileged, impoverished, marginalised and

excluded in their own Country in which their forebears are the greatest, priceless

investors with their genealogy. Neo-Colonialism exploits the resulting tensions within

African Rulers and Citizens to divert attention from its catalogue of treasonable

atrocities, not excluding facilitating an illicit annual capital flight of circa $1.06 Trillion

in exchange of a pittance in Foreign Aid.

It is important to caution against the danger of mushrooming Dependency Platforms

in the name of business, growth, foreign investment without ethics and similar on theAfrican Continent fronted by Africans [knowingly and unknowingly] which promote the

rule and domination of Unethical Foreign Capital in Africa which is the

contemporary character of Neo-Colonialism, and sets in trail the unleash of false

economic development and foreign takeover of natural resources that belong to the

African Peoples for a pittance. Ghanaians and Africans must embrace a heightened

awareness of the changing nature and agenda of Neo-Colonialism, but this requires

clear Conscientious Leadership. There is no lacking of intellectual resource in Ghana

or Africa; it is the wisdom of its application to guarantee provision and protection for

the Fundamental Human Needs of the Peoples.

What stops Ghana or Africa effectively mobilising its human resource talent pool to

developing the Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, Agriculture and

Industrialisation necessary to trail-blaze a 21st Century Economic Model or Giant,

worthy of replication across the African Continent?

Lets also be clear that Neo-Colonialism will not survive a day without the

acquiescence or cooperation of Ghanas or Africas Rulers. Neo-Colonialism is no friend

to Ghanaian or African Rulers nor the Majority Ghanaians and Africans and explains

why after over half a century of Ghanas Declaration of Political Independence, she

remains impoverished and deeply entrenched in Foreign Dependency. Continuing

swimming with the sharks of Neo-Colonialism is dangerous and require a forensic

examination of Sovereignty-validation through a Patriotic, Ethical and Human Rights-

oriented Approach with deliberate haste, propelled by a clear Total Independence

Leadership Mind-set.

Thats is why the GREAT Consortium consisting of the GREAT Trust, Council for

Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Society advocates the adoption of a

regime of Independence Impact Assessments [IIA] to conduct a coherent Reality-Check

of journey travelled in each of the African Countries to culminate at the ContinentalLevel, as a viable proposition to stem the tide of deepening Dependency and facilitate

the process of Rapid Independence, Total Liberation, Advancement and Development.

We cannot wait to see a Totally Liberated Ghana and Africa in which Neo-Colonialism

is defeated, Sovereignty is protected, all Indigenous Citizens become Respected

Significant Stakeholders, Fundamental Human Rights Guaranteed and future secured

for the Youth.

Like Ghana, Africa is blessed with an enviable reservoir of rich natural resource pool,

which Neo-Colonialism has managed to prize out of the ownership of the Majority

Ghanaians and Africans to whom they belong and given by the Creator. As history

portrays, it is not possible for the benefits of Ghanas and Africas rich natural

resources to be of full benefit to Majority Citizens, precisely because of the incredibly

stifling, exploitative, cruel, inhuman, anti-African characteristics of Neo-Colonialism

that so aggressively undermines the Collective Citizenship Rights of Majority

Indigenous Ghanaians and Africans.

The GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Society is

minded to urge, with minded goodwill, Contemporary Ghanaian Leaders to implement

strategies and policies for the rapid disestablishment and irrecoverable demise of Neo-

Colonialism, to pave the way for rapid development of Ghana, by facilitating the

transparent, accountable and responsible discharge of the democratic mandates given

to them by the Ghanaians Peoples with evidently fruitful, unambiguously positive

results and impacts including the defeat over abject poverty, illiteracy, ill-health,

insecure housing, unemployment, discrimination against local entrepreneurism etc.

Neo-Colonialism creates an unhealthy schism between Africas post-Colonial Leadersand Majority Citizens analogous to any divided society of two worlds i.e. tensions

between the advantaged and swathes of disadvantaged citizens which poses a

permanent threat to desirable and desired Enduring Collective Peace, Stability and

Security. We hold the view that Neo-Colonialism and a Fully Independent Ghana and

Africa are completely at odds with each other and contradictory i.e. Neo-Colonialism

cannot deliver a Totally Free Ghana, but rather undermine it. It is a sad illusion to

continue to think otherwise after 56 years of relentless post-Colonial Struggle.

On this anniversary therefore, we call for a period of profound reflection, introspection

and prayers for wisdom, candour, patriotism and remembrance in honour of the

martyrs of Ghanas on-going half-century process of de-Colonisation and reminder of

the yet-to-be-realised ultimate objectives of the Declaration of Ghanas Political

Independence. As we have said elsewhere and meriting repeat here, the pioneers of the

Declaration of Ghanas Political Independence could have cut deals for themselves on

excuses and prolonged Colonialism than it did, but in the main chose selflessly and

conscientiously not to. A similar uncompromising stand can be taken against Neo-

Colonialism to catalyse a rapid De-NeoColonisation, Full Independence, TotalLiberation and Development in all aspects that makes Ghana more Self-reliant and as

a model for 21st Century Advanced Civilisation where Sovereignty and the Collective

Wellbeing and Fundamental Human Rights of All Citizens, not the least Youth are

Guaranteed.

May God Bless Ghana and Ghanaians for Total Independence, Freedom and Justice!

May God Bless Africa and Africans for Total Liberation of the African Continent and

Diaspora Africans!
