Young Pan-African nails what's wrongwith our economies #Africa #TheGambia #PanAfricanism #Economics

Political independence means little without economic power. Pan-Africanist Gambian youth leader Ousman Touray argues that Africa’s development depends on who controls its economies - where the profits go, whose interests come first and who gets to shape the continent’s future. From African-owned businesses and investment in public services to education rooted in African history, realities and values - the challenge is to build economies that serve African people, not simply extract wealth for outsiders. True self-determination isn’t just about who governs - it’s about who owns, who decides and who benefits.
