Dr Arikana Chihombori-Quao spoke for all of Africa and all Africans, whether on the African Continent or in other Continents.

We are in complete embrace of the Vision she espoused and we most wholeheartedly and joyfully commit to the commitments she made on our collective behalf.

The hour of Africa’s Liberation is here and the dawn of homecoming is here for the Africans who were forced out of the African Continent by centuries of the vicious wickedness and greed of Africa’s many adversaries.

Africans will return to a free Africa.

The least we on the Continent owe our siblings who are outside the Continent, not of their choice, is to recover our occupied Continent and Homeland; and to remove the debilitating divisions and shackles imposed on us by the Berlin Conference of 1885 in order to free the vast energies of Africa and Africans.

In this Urgent Task, our brother Captain Ibrahim Traoré has led the way most courageously even as his compatriots in Niger and Mali strive in the same direction.

On behalf of other Compatriots across the Continent, I join Sister Arikana in saying: We Shall Not Let You Down.
