The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state.
~ Kwame Nkrumah
A State in the grip of neo-colonialism is not master of its own destiny. It is this factor which makes neo-colonialism such a serious threat to world peace.
Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them.
