    The Power of Activism & Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century

    What is Pan-Africanism? Pan-Africanism is a worldwide movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all indigenous and diaspora ethnic groups of African descent.  We discuss how having a Pan-African mindset and being an activist can affect change as African's have their own reality that differs from that of Europeans, Asians, or Americans therefor good governance by Africans for Africans will lead to the development of Africa.  In this episode of Umoja Sessions, I am joined by Espoir Ngalukiye a non-violent activist from Congo DRC, and member of the LUCHA a non-violent and non-partisan movement. In 2018, he became national coordinator of the “Chemin de la Paix”, the vision of Dr Denis Mukwege (Nobel Peace Prize 2018).
