  Our Humanism. Humanism all over the world is one and the same, thus there is no African humanism that is different from Humanism around the world.
  Humanists are people who fight for equal opportunity for all members of society, not depending on their race, colour, religion, sex and origin. Humanists are people who fight for the state and society to grant all its members access to the most basic necessities of life, which is paramount.
  Humanists fight for people access to free and clean water, work, accommodation, free education, health care and free clean environment, not excluding the security of the human person.
  That is why humanists in Ghana in 1984 wrose against PNDC structural adjustment policies that made all the basic necessities of Ghanaians cash-and-carry, not excluding sanitation.
  In the nutshell, the capitalist cash-and-carry economy did not benefit anyone, as a result the capitalist elements among us tried, but failed to give their inhuman acts a human face.
  The fact is that a capitalist cannot be a humanist. When the capitalist wakes up what he thinks of is how to make profit, not depending on the mode of the business that will bring the profit.
  Thus everything boils down to what the capitalist calls his world order. A World Order in which the capitalist makes everyone a puppet that is ready all the time to be pulled by strings to implement its policies.
  So the capitalist deprived himself of all that is human, and replace it with inhumanity, assassinations, murders, exploitation, wars of occupation, maiming, the declaration of wars to sell all sorts of inhuman behaviour to people, not excluding the use of drugs, exploitation, racism, apartheid, racial segregation, colonialism, neocolonialism, Zionism (which has since 1948 took the lives of both Arabs and Jews and is doing the same as we are typing this rejoinder).
  Since Africans are members of society, just like people living on other continents of the world, we are all socially exposed to all forms of ideologies that we come to adopt as our world outlook.
  Since Africa is part of the world and we have humanists and others who protect the interest of the class to which they belong, therefore, African humanist are no different from those of others around the world, because they share the same humanistic values.
