JOINT MEDIA RELEASE by the GREAT TRUST, COUNCIL FOR AFRIKA INTERNTIONAL AND AFRIKA LIBERATION COUNCIL
Ghana @ 56: A Call For Rapid De-NeoColonisation, Full Independence, Advancement and Development through Conscientious Ethical Leadership On the 56th Anniversary of Ghanas Declaration of Political Independence, the GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Council extend goodwill and cordial Patriotic Africanist Relations with Ghana and its Peoples at home and in the Diaspora for the rapid attainment of the Ultimate Vision, Mission and Purpose of the De-colonisation Struggle. We also commend Ghanas Leadership for managing to prevent Ghana from plunging into outright violence as witnessed elsewhere on the African Continent and other parts of the world. It is noted that while strides have been made in the 56-year journey of post-Colonial Ghana, it is regrettable that Ghana is still very much dependent on all things foreign and un-African, and has not attained the aspirations and desires of the Pioneers of Decolonisation in Ghana, not the least the necessary Economic, Political, Educational, Military, Industrial, Engineering, Scientific, Medical, Technological Advancement, Selfreliance or Self-sufficiency and Cultural Rediscovery envisaged by the Founding Fathers and Mothers.

It is significant to remind that one of the crucial factors that distinguished the then Gold Coast from the other Colonies was that the Pioneers of Decolonisation took a stand to operate positively, radically differently from the norm, through an uncompromising and categorical objection to the savagery and barbarism of Colonialism. The attainment of political independence in Ghana thus became an attractive proposition that snowballed into a cascade of Political Independence Declarations by several other former Colonies on the African Continent. Without the bold stand of the UGCC and the CPP to take a principal and principled stand against Colonialism, the Declaration of Political Independence would have taken far longer and costlier. Similarly, Contemporary Ghanaian Leaders have the opportunity, luxury and duty of democratic mandate to take a collectively uncompromising stand against NeoColonialism, to be able to complete the unfinished business of Total Decolonisation and Liberation of Ghana, permanently restore Justice and Freedom with the high probability to positively repeat the history of contagion and reverberation throughout the African Continent. That Neo-Colonialism has been countenanced, accommodated and tolerated to become an asphyxiating albatross around the neck of Africas Contemporary Leaders is unacceptable as it is very costly in all senses, not the least, extremely undermining of National, Regional and Continental Sovereignty as well as the Collective Wellbeing of Ghanaians and the African Peoples. Dr Koku Adomdza, President of the GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Society reflects We share the generous goodwill of the Majority Indigenous Ghanaians for Contemporary Leadership to rapidly attain the Vision and Purpose of Total Decolonisation and Full Independence. That it has not been attained

for 56 years is a disaster. Make no mistake; the business of Neo-Colonialism is to continue the agenda of Colonialism by entrenching and prolonging Ghanas Dependency under African Self-Rule which undermines her Development and Advancement. It is a mirage to think that Neo-Colonialism will facilitate the delivery of Freedom, Justice and Wholistic Independence to Ghana. Freedom, Justice and Independence are not given, you claim it with all the tools you have, including Courage, Ethics, Patriotism and Leadership. The best Neo-Colonialism can do for Ghana and Politicallydeclared African Countries is to create exclusive privileges for Rulers against the Majority of their citizens who are underprivileged, impoverished, marginalised and excluded in their own Country in which their forebears are the greatest, priceless investors with their genealogy. Neo-Colonialism exploits the resulting tensions within African Rulers and Citizens to divert attention from its catalogue of treasonable atrocities, not excluding facilitating an illicit annual capital flight of circa $1.06 Trillion in exchange of a pittance in Foreign Aid. It is important to caution against the danger of mushrooming Dependency Platforms in the name of business, growth, foreign investment without ethics and similar on the African Continent fronted by Africans [knowingly and unknowingly] which promote the rule and domination of Unethical Foreign Capital in Africa which is the contemporary character of Neo-Colonialism, and sets in trail the unleash of false economic development and foreign takeover of natural resources that belong to the African Peoples for a pittance. Ghanaians and Africans must embrace a heightened awareness of the changing nature and agenda of Neo-Colonialism, but this requires clear Conscientious Leadership. There is no lacking of intellectual resource in Ghana or Africa; it is the wisdom of its application to guarantee provision and protection for the Fundamental Human Needs of the Peoples.

What stops Ghana or Africa effectively mobilising its human resource talent pool to developing the Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, Pharmacy, Agriculture and Industrialisation necessary to trail-blaze a 21st Century Economic Model or Giant, worthy of replication across the African Continent? Lets also be clear that Neo-Colonialism will not survive a day without the acquiescence or cooperation of Ghanas or Africas Rulers. Neo-Colonialism is no friend to Ghanaian or African Rulers nor the Majority Ghanaians and Africans and explains why after over half a century of Ghanas Declaration of Political Independence, she remains impoverished and deeply entrenched in Foreign Dependency. Continuing swimming with the sharks of Neo-Colonialism is dangerous and require a forensic examination of Sovereignty-validation through a Patriotic, Ethical and Human Rightsoriented Approach with deliberate haste, propelled by a clear Total Independence Leadership Mind-set. Thats is why the GREAT Consortium consisting of the GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Society advocates the adoption of a regime of Independence Impact Assessments [IIA] to conduct a coherent Reality-Check of journey travelled in each of the African Countries to culminate at the Continental Level, as a viable proposition to stem the tide of deepening Dependency and facilitate the process of Rapid Independence, Total Liberation, Advancement and Development. We cannot wait to see a Totally Liberated Ghana and Africa in which Neo-Colonialism is defeated, Sovereignty is protected, all Indigenous Citizens become Respected Significant Stakeholders, Fundamental Human Rights Guaranteed and future secured for the Youth.

Like Ghana, Africa is blessed with an enviable reservoir of rich natural resource pool, which Neo-Colonialism has managed to prize out of the ownership of the Majority Ghanaians and Africans to whom they belong and given by the Creator. As history portrays, it is not possible for the benefits of Ghanas and Africas rich natural resources to be of full benefit to Majority Citizens, precisely because of the incredibly stifling, exploitative, cruel, inhuman, anti-African characteristics of Neo-Colonialism that so aggressively undermines the Collective Citizenship Rights of Majority Indigenous Ghanaians and Africans. The GREAT Trust, Council for Afrika International and the Afrika Liberation Society is minded to urge, with minded goodwill, Contemporary Ghanaian Leaders to implement strategies and policies for the rapid disestablishment and irrecoverable demise of NeoColonialism, to pave the way for rapid development of Ghana, by facilitating the transparent, accountable and responsible discharge of the democratic mandates given to them by the Ghanaians Peoples with evidently fruitful, unambiguously positive results and impacts including the defeat over abject poverty, illiteracy, ill-health, insecure housing, unemployment, discrimination against local entrepreneurism etc. Neo-Colonialism creates an unhealthy schism between Africas post-Colonial Leaders and Majority Citizens analogous to any divided society of two worlds i.e. tensions between the advantaged and swathes of disadvantaged citizens which poses a permanent threat to desirable and desired Enduring Collective Peace, Stability and Security. We hold the view that Neo-Colonialism and a Fully Independent Ghana and Africa are completely at odds with each other and contradictory i.e. Neo-Colonialism cannot deliver a Totally Free Ghana, but rather undermine it. It is a sad illusion to continue to think otherwise after 56 years of relentless post-Colonial Struggle.

On this anniversary therefore, we call for a period of profound reflection, introspection and prayers for wisdom, candour, patriotism and remembrance in honour of the martyrs of Ghanas on-going half-century process of de-Colonisation and reminder of the yet-to-be-realised ultimate objectives of the Declaration of Ghanas Political Independence. As we have said elsewhere and meriting repeat here, the pioneers of the Declaration of Ghanas Political Independence could have cut deals for themselves on excuses and prolonged Colonialism than it did, but in the main chose selflessly and conscientiously not to. A similar uncompromising stand can be taken against NeoColonialism to catalyse a rapid De-NeoColonisation, Full Independence, Total Liberation and Development in all aspects that makes Ghana more Self-reliant and as a model for 21st Century Advanced Civilisation where Sovereignty and the Collective Wellbeing and Fundamental Human Rights of All Citizens, not the least Youth are Guaranteed. May God Bless Ghana and Ghanaians for Total Independence, Freedom and Justice! May God Bless Africa and Africans for Total Liberation of the African Continent and Diaspora Africans!
