We all know how often he's criticized external influences, particularly those of Western nations, for Africa's problems. Many of us, including myself, have taken issue with his seemingly constant blame on the West. It felt as if he overlooked the internal problems that we as Africans must address ourselves, or sometimes mixes them up, giving the impressions that the west is more to blame for our predicaments.
However, this latest discourse represents a significant shift in his analysis. This time, he has taken a comprehensive look at the issues plaguing our continent without attributing blame to external forces. He has clearly acknowledged our internal struggles, focusing on the issues of governance, corruption, lack of proper education, and infrastructure, among others.
While the impact of colonization and Western interference cannot be disregarded, it's refreshing and empowering to see Professor Lumumba address the changes that we can and should initiate from within. In acknowledging our responsibility for our progress, he's inspiring Africans to be architects of our destiny.
This approach doesn't absolve the historical injustices done to us, but rather encourages us to take control of our future. It fosters a proactive attitude instead of a reactive one.
For me, this is Professor Lumumba at his best โ clear-eyed about our past, yet focused on what we can do to shape our future. I believe we all need to take a moment and consider the constructive potential of his new outlook. Let's use this as a platform to discuss ways we can actionably improve our societies, rather than focusing on assigning blame.
