Recently, the world\u2019s super powers have been seen to be once again competing to have influence over African states and their resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In our own terms, we describe this as <em>\u2018the Modern day scramble and Partition for Africa\u2019,<\/em> in which states like the US, China, Russia and some European States are currently active in Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this day, Africa still lacks a unified strategy\nor the institutional capacity to effectively counteract this phenomenon.\nVarious attempts to consolidate Africa have grossly failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><code> African states often don\u2019t speak in one voice; when an African country  is under crisis, most of the others barely take keen interest on the  crisis as we imagine that <em>\u2018it is none of our business\u2019<\/em>, neither does it affect us in any way.  <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great example in this scenario is Muammar Gaddafi\u2019s idea of <em>\u2018United States of Africa\u2019<\/em> which ended up going down the drain with him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/countysplash.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/20220214_194724-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2792\"\/><figcaption><strong><code>Ellah Katiba<\/code><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was alleged that he was assassinated for attempting to establish an independent African currency which, together with the idea of the \u2018United African States, were major jackpots for the African continent as they were going to slice down our dependency on advanced states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we chickened out. An article on <em>\u2018Dream of Unity: From the United States of\nAfrica to the Federation of African States\u2019<\/em> published by BRILL analyzes the\nreasons for the failure of the pan-Africanists leaders&#8217; dream of unity, namely:\nfear of tampering with the colonially-inherited borders; reluctance of\nnewly-independent African leaders to abandon their newly-won sovereignty in\nfavor of a broader political entity and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is this lack of consensus among African states\nthat creates a lucrative hunting ground. African states often don\u2019t speak in\none voice; when an African country is under crisis, most of the others barely\ntake keen interest on the crisis as we imagine that <em>\u2018it is none of our business\u2019<\/em>, neither does it affect us in any way.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20221029-WA0021.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20221029-WA0021.jpg 480w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20221029-WA0021-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/IMG-20221029-WA0021-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption><strong><code>Emmanuel Magoba<\/code><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we have imposed stringent measures and\ntax regulations across our borders on imports and exports that make it hard to\neven have smooth trade transactions amongst ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><strong><code> Some African leaders willingly sign these treaties because of the  personal gains promised to them, after which they surrender whatever is  desired of them; hence creating a leeway to exploiting Africa at the  expense of their self-interests. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a different limb, we have been made to enter into bilateral\nagreements and treaties that have been more pernicious and detrimental to us than\nto the advanced states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some African leaders willingly sign these treaties because of\nthe personal gains promised to them, after which they surrender whatever is\ndesired of them; hence creating a leeway to exploiting Africa at the expense of\ntheir self-interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Besides, some leaders\nare forcefully made to sign the treaties even if they are not willing to. They\nare threatened by sanctions and some even threatened to be punished because of\nhigh debt burden. It is from these agreements that the colonial Masters then find\nan enabling environment to fully Hunt on Africa through exploitation of mineral\nresources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Africa produces what it does not consume and consumes\nwhat it does not produce because the agreements allows European states to get\nthe raw materials, manufacture them and bring them to Africa as finished\nproducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">France for instance made her former colonies sign a\ndocument and called it <em>The Pact for the\nContinuation of Colonization <\/em>that was first established on April 9, 1944.\nFrom the treaty, all the French colonized countries had to deposit 85 per cent\nof their bank reserves with French central bank under the control of French\nminister of finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;French\ngovernment would take all the money and collectively invest in French stock\nmarket under French without the Knowledge of the African states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p> <strong><code>In order for African states to resist any detrimental foreign  interference and preserve their sovereignty, we have to work towards  ending this financial dependency on the European nations. <\/code><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Should\nAfricans want access to any of their money (the 15 per cent), they have to\nsubmit their country\u2019s financial report and if approved they get to access up\nto 20 per cent of their deposit from previous year as a loan at commercial\ninterest rate. France indicated that all the minerals discovered or yet to be\ndiscovered, French companies have a defense right of refusal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the dos and don\u2019ts of the pact, African states\nhave given up their financial resources, given up control of their natural\nresources, they have given up their military and therefore remained powerless,\nonly offering resources to be hunted upon by the colonizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Into the bargain, through Establishment of\nmultinational corporations, most African states have ended up losing their\neconomic independence to European states that are more industrially and\ntechnologically developed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most raw materials are produced in Africa, packed\nand shipped to Europe for manufacturing. This only leaves Africa to only but\nproduce the raw materials and sell them cheaply to these super powers that then\nbring them back at a higher price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for Africa to end these atrocities that are hurting our mother continent and keeping us into a continued undeveloped state, we have to unite and speak with one voice. African Union should be empowered to develop a coherent and comprehensive strategy to deal with the European countries that are in the business of exploiting Africa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should implement robust institutional reforms and\nstart acting as the decisive power on the continent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for African states to resist any detrimental foreign interference and preserve their sovereignty, we have to work towards ending this financial dependency on the European nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In an effort to maintain peace and any form of aggression within the continent, Africa should develop her independent military that is free from outside\/colonial influence. The AU should be a unifying factor and bring together all the African in order to achieve our continental dignity in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><code>Ms Katiba ia a Law student at the University of Nairobi (UoN) and Mr Magoba is a Political Science student at at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA).<\/code><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">End<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ella Katiba and Emmanuel Magoba, Nairobi Are we witnessing a new scramble for Africa?
