I borrow the lyrics of this Lucky Dube song to address African leaders.
We,young people want to continue to live in the hope of seeing Africa united and strengthened.
We have no fundamental grudge against you so far, but take advantage of this new wind to restore your image and make history forever.
It takes a million people to forge a good reputation, and we have had them through many worthy sons of Africa across the continent ;
But it only takes stupid and imbecile To destroy all they have done refuse now and redeem yourself with your brothers ;
The world knows your people as the most violent in the world, The world knows your continent as the poorest in the world with no history, a history certainly manipulated and tailored to their own interests,
Take upon yourselves this moral responsibility To restore the dignity of your nations of your continent;
You have to teach the world That's why I have to say, Wherever you are Teach the world that you have understood and that it's time to get rid of the condescension so much practised and supported ;
Remind your people that they have resisted over 400 years of slavery and a merciless slave trade;
On your continent that you are the richest and that we all have everything but mutual consideration;
Teach the world that your hospitality and generosity are the result of the religion practised by our allies, and not least ;
Teach them the law, because we have an intrinsic respect for the human race ;
It takes a million lives, To get the respect we deserve, When people see the current resilience of youth, Some of them run a mile away
The world knows your people, As a people of unculture
Everyone around you should, Always keep their eyes open
The world knows your nations, As nations of drug lords
Everyone accuses your people of invading them,
Take it upon yourself to restore the dignity of your nation.
Wherever you go, teach the world that it is time to throw off the neo-colonial yoke.
To CEDAO AND OTHER AFRICAN GROUPINGS, STOP BEING THE HAND THAT SLAWS BLACK FOR WHITE. ENOUGH !
" TEACH THE WORLD " of LUKY DUBE
