Pan-Africanism is the idea that
Africans, both on the continent and in the diaspora, share a common ancestry, history, and culture, and that they should unite politically, economically, and socially to promote their common interests and achieve their collective goals. The movement emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, during the height of European imperialism in Africa, as a response to the injustices, exploitation, and oppression faced by Africans under colonial rule. Pan-Africanism has been expressed in various ways, such as through the organization of Pan-African conferences, the establishment of Pan-African institutions and initiatives, the advocacy of African unity and solidarity, and the promotion of African culture and identity. The goal of Pan-Africanism is to create a strong and independent Africa, free from external interference and capable of addressing its own challenges and opportunities.
Pan-Africanism is the idea that African should ban all eurpoean influences. all african ethnic groups should have their own country. all black africans should be united to achieve common goals. all of africa should be united under a single government.
The most accurate statement regarding Pan-Africanism is that all black Africans should be united to achieve common goals. While the movement does advocate for the promotion of African culture and identity, and the establishment of Pan-African institutions and initiatives, it does not necessarily advocate for banning all European influences, nor does it require all African ethnic groups to have their own country. Additionally, while it aims to promote African unity and solidarity, it does not necessarily advocate for the unification of all of Africa under a single government.
Read the passage by a man discussing his country, Senegal, immediately after independence.
“Forty years ago, we had nothing—no doctors, no engineers, no writers. We had no university. We thought a flag and a national anthem were enough for independence. . . . That is now a thing of the past. One has to count on the people. And despite all the problems, success for us is a certainty. Every day we’re working hard, because we’re dreaming of a better quality of life.”
—Ousmane Sembene, filmmaker

“Most people in rural areas are farmers, and when you have a disease like Guinea worm [a parasite], you are incapacitated, unable to continue with your work. By preventing the hundreds of thousands of cases that we do each year, we are freeing up that many more people to farm so that they will have food and be able to take care of their families.”
—Emmanuel Miri
