Independence and sovereignty of Ghana

The world has organisations like the World bank, UN, WTO, IMF and many more YES Africans respect that, but not to the extent of imposing development programs like Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs), Economic Recovery Programs (ERPs), Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on our states that analytically do not benefit us. These forms of foreign influence and interventions through international organisations raise important issues of sovereignty and independence.

This is sheer disregard and disrespect for our independence and sovereignty as states. My people let us stand up and manage our own affairs, we have great capacity as human beings let us tap our intellectual prowess or will be manipulated all the time, let us believe in ourselves or no one will.

Political elites, chiefs and leaders after the independence era with their existing connection with the Colonial rulers is hampering the growth of Ghana, topmost in the name of the reactionary political parties New Patriotic Party and National Democratic Congress who operate on neo-colonialism, neo-imperialism and neo-liberalism. It is time for the breakup of this link to establish the country’s full independence and sovereignty or we allow a willing political party to come through as destined to lead us to the Promised Land. Our cherished fathers have failed Our Beloved Country far enough, very saddening and it is enough.

The youth must stand up against this degrading act and rescue the Ghanaian heritage through the right and available medium for this course because it is so clear our fathers are already committed to their reactionary course. It is not that they do not hear our cry, it is because of the commitment they are in that has locked them out of leading us efficiently and effectively as they have to without external influences. This calls for a medium to fight in line with this good course and it clearly directs us to working for Ghana in a revolutionary way. This leads us creation of the youth movement for the ideological education relating to the people of Ghana.
