Who Speaks for Africa?: Essays in Geopolitics and Political Economy by Muhammed Kamil

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I, in agreement with other mainstream Pan Africanists, see PanAfricanism as a practical means by which Africa may contribute to amore balanced world order in the course of improving its geo-strategic position; not an ultimate end in itself. This geo-strategic PanAfricanism, as first personified in the post-colonial Casablanca States alliance, which included Morocco, Ghana, Egypt, Guinea, Libya andMali, is not to be confused with the Afro-centrism that dwells on the racial concept of “Black Africa”. In the present era of globalization, where networking is a vital factor in power profiles, the concept of Global Africa seems an appropriate sequel to the Pan Africanism of the previous century; our new agenda of global penetration and networking for optimum potential realization, in tandem with AfricanUnion, embraces African unity, emphatically adding an assertive global interaction dimension.
