Pan-AfricanismOur Opinion

We support independence but disagree with Ghana’s position on Pan-Africanism

Ghana is a strong nation on its own, supporting Africa with our resources would weaken our economical status

Africa would be a stronger continent if each nation learned to independently support themselves
