Neocolonialism In Africa

Foreign interference in Africa was implemented in phases. It started with slavery. Then the Scramble for Africa established colonisation, and later the struggle for independence. Professor PLO Lumumba, a Pan-Africanist and former director of the Kenya School of Law, stated that even after we gained our independence, we duplicated European governing systems as our own. He said, by doing this, we limit ourselves and our progress. As Ghana's former president and prime minister, Kwame Nkrumah, said in his book, Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism, neocolonialism is the most diabolic stage of imperialism. Lumumba's remarks were given in May during "Foreign Interference in Africa: The Enduring Destabilising Factor," a panel discussion at the 10th National Security Symposium jointly organized by the Rwanda Defence Force Command and Staff College as well as the University of Rwanda.
