AFRICA WILL NOT BE FREE IF WE CONSIDER OURSELVES STRANGERS
TO EACH OTHER
By Ifedayo Oshin
“ The journey of Zambia ... is the journey of Africa ”, says His Excellency , the High Commissioner of Zambia to South Africa , Mr . Emmanuel Mwamba . It is a journey from struggle for political independence to economic freedom . But how well have Zambia and the rest of Africa fared in the quest for total economic freedom ?
Mr . Mwamba is very hopeful that Africa is near the mark . He believes that the sure path to Zambian and African ’ economic freedom lies in strengthening regional partnerships , diversification of energy sources to address energy challenge and the need to harness and formalise the economic benefits of Africans in Diaspora and more importantly the need to embrace the African brotherhood with a decolonised mind .
