That’s what Pan-African organiser Dedan Wa Waciuri explained in this video. The Mapinduzi (@mapinduzi_252 on IG) organiser explained how the first Black US president has more in common with Blaise Compaoré, the Western-backed former president of Burkina Faso (1987-2014) who is responsible for revolutionary president Thomas Sankara’s (1949-87) assassination. Waciuri also raised the name of Mobutu Sese Seko (1930-97), the former president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who helped oust the DRC’s first democratically elected prime minister, Patrice Lumumba (1925-61). Waciuri also referenced Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72), the first president of the Republic of Ghana and a staunch Pan-African leader, who wrote a book titled, ‘Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism.’ ‘The essence of neo-colonialism is that the state which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty,’ Nkrumah wrote. ‘In reality, its economic system and, thus, its political policy is directed from outside.’ Neocolonialism requires African leaders who look like their people to lead African countries while doing the bidding of the imperialists. Barack Obama was also a neo-colonialist. During the Obama era, people were excited to rap along to lyrics like Young Jeezy’s ‘My president is Black, my lambo is blue.’ But who did Obama actually answer to? Not to the Black communities suffering a water crisis in Flint, Michigan, or militarised police violence in Ferguson, Missouri. Yet, he did seem to make the Pentagon happy. Obama led the largest US military expansion across the African continent in history. He led a NATO invasion of Libya that murdered Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (1942-2011), destroying the once-prosperous North African state. He multiplied the drone bombings raining down on Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq and Libya. Let us know what you think in the comments.
