SONPON, III<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Speaker of the 54th Legislature, Cllr. J. Fonati Koffa, has called for a paradigm shift in the dreams and construct of the Pan Africanism Movement if the continent will ever be unified and its people empowered.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the 8th Edition of the Africa Summit in London, the United Kingdom, on July 11, Koffa told African stakeholders and bilateral and multilateral partners that priorities for the African people need to be rethought or rearranged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere must be a new Pan African movement for economic growth,\u201d Rep. Koffa told the gathering at Committee Room G, House of Lords, in London.<\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Speaker\u2019s call comes at a time when the continent is grappling with the struggle for political unity through Pan Africanism after over fifty years.<\/p>\n<p>It is clearly evident that the dream of a unified African continent, as accentuated in the context of Pan Africanism, has yet to be achieved since the 1960s, more than 50 years when the vision gained global attention and African consciousness at a peak.<\/p>\n<p>Political unity has been the crux of the Pan-Africanist movement \u2014 which in its narrowest political manifestation, envisions a unified African nation where all people of the African can live, is far from being realized and may not even be any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, Pan-Africanism has often taken the shape of a political or cultural movement, but Koffa told the gathering in London that it is high time for this to change.<\/p>\n<p>He said though the West has succeeded in democratizing the African continent, it is now time for the UK and other western nations to intensify trade relations with Africa rather than perpetuating the giving of handouts through the form of aid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow is the time to embrace trade, not aid, so that we can be true partners and an African market of 1.2 billion people will become a bastion of sophisticated consumers and not just victims of a world order that render pity and charity as a means of assuaging guilt that holds no one accountable and yet leaves no one better off,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Africa Summit 2023, organized by the African Leadership Magazine (ALM), featured a series of conversations on the future of African trade, as well as showcase Africa\u2019s business and investment opportunities to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>It brought together policymakers, private sector leaders, civil society leaders, political leaders, and all other stakeholders in Europe, the US, and Africa to discuss issues that would prepare the private sector leaders for a more integrated and competitive African trade environment.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the speakers at the event, Koffa told the audience that it is also now time for Africa to reevaluate its relationship with the western and start on a new path.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must begin anew,\u201d he added. \u201cI must admit simply embracing democracy is not enough. Africa must recognize its full potential and go back to the future, the days when Kwame Nkrumah, and Sekou Toure, and William Tubman, and JomoKenyatta preached Pan Africanism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Making a reference to a book written by Liberian Economist, Samuel P. Jackson, subtitled \u201cRich land; poor country\u201d which to a larger extent showcases Liberia&#8217;s despicable economic problem, Koffa claimed that the Liberian story is reflective of the stories of most African countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are talking about from Democratic Republic of Congo with its trillion dollar mineral reserves to Equatorial Guinea and the Federal Republic of Nigeria with billions of dollars of oil deposits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Liberian Deputy Speaker said the new Pan Africanism must vigorously implement the concept of open borders and free movement of African states\u2013a concept that is already taking root in the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS. \u201cWe are seeing significant benefits of trade between and among people of different nations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He urged the African Union to move fast to implement the open borders and free movement policies so that increased trade and access to each other&#8217;s markets can be seamlessly accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>He called for the adoption of a single currency on the continent, which he said could be difficult but achievable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is counter productive to do business in a continent of at least 40 different currencies in which many of those currencies have no value and the rest are artificially pegged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>A Call for An Embargo on Africa\u2019s Natural Resources<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The Deputy Speaker however used the Africa Summit to propose the creation of a universal policy and protocol that no raw material leaves any African shore, adding, \u201cIf it&#8217;s valuable enough to be extracted, it must be valuable enough to be processed and exported as a finished product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt must carry the label \u201cMade in Africa.\u201d It makes no sense to extract our raw materials to supply factories in China that sell finished goods to the west.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the African economies will not grow, and the continent\u2019s working class will not increase, the middle class will not prosper as long as Africans are hewers of wood and drawers of water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must demand value-added manufacturing from the natural resources extracted from our lands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the African Leadership Magazine (ALM) named Deputy Speaker Koffa as the African Outstanding Lawmaker of the Year and presented him a glass plaque in recognition of his excellence.<\/p>\n<p>The ALM, also unveiled its 2023 Magazine, with Liberia&#8217;s Deputy Speaker on the cover in his honor, with a bold inscription, Legislative Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA very distinguished lawmaker has become a beacon of hope to the seemingly voiceless sections of the (Liberian) people since he began to challenge old-age norms and traditions that are injurious to the populace. Among several other milestone achievements, he is known to be at the forefront of increasing women&#8217;s representation in Liberia,\u201d the ALM wrote on the cover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/liberia\">Liberia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEROY M.
