Most African elites today are visionless and corrupt, caring little for their people. Those leaders who have sought to critically interrogate the global system and Africa's place in it have been swiftly dispatched. The careers of Patrice Lumumba, Kwame Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral, Thomas Sankara, etc. attest to this reality. Thus working in alliance with external interests, the current generation of African leaders continue with strategies that only reproduce Africa's dependent status, its economic underdevelopment and its political condition of neocolonialism and generalised foreign domination. As Thomas Sankara noted, the enemies of the people are both inside and outside of Africa [Sankara 2007: 52]. With the ideas of the “free market” now hegemonic, critical reflection on the current situation within Africa is infrequent and rarely, if ever, goes beyond problem-solving approaches to immediate tribulations. When looking back to the excitement of 1960, this is not what most African peoples had in mind when they uttered the word, `independence'.
