Buju Banton, a Jamaican musician, has declared his support for the struggling West African nations affected by the current scenario in the sub region.
His remark follows the coup threat in other francophone nations, including Niger, Cameroon, and Burkina Faso, where military takeover has been increasingly common in recent years.
He claims that the ongoing unrest in several African nations is a hint that those leaders who reject democratic government will eventually end slavery and other forms of exploitation.
Buju Banton, a Ghanaian blogger, claimed in a video shared on his Instagram page that the recent revolt is a sign of change for the continent of Africa, which has long been referred to as a “sleeping giant” globally.
“In this time we are seeing and witnessing the rise of Africa, the African continent’s so-called sleeping giants. We are witnessing people finally ruining your story once and for all putting an end to modern-day slavery and exploitation in Africa. We have seen several assassinations since 2020 nowhere upfront role at the wind of change,” he said.
He further added, “I stand in solidarity with Burkina Faso, Niger, Cameroon, and every oppressed nation of the African continent. What are we doing here in the region? let us stand with Africa. The same thing that is happening in Africa, is the same thing happening across the world. We stand with those who want to be free because we know we are not free here in the West. So we desire the freedom of Africa because if Africa is free then the black man is eventually free,” Mr. Drew emphasized.
