DELEGATES at the All-African Movement Assembly in Accra have called for Pan-African solidarity, free movement across the continent and \u201cmore robust human rights advocacy\u201d.<\/p>\n

At their recent annual gathering, the largest meeting of African movements, activists and human rights defenders, delegates launched the Pan-African Solidarity Network to strengthen support for human rights defenders.<\/p>\n

They want the Network to deal with \u201cthe multiple issues that activists encounter, which may be addressed more efficiently through a collaborative platform\u201d.<\/p>\n

They stressed \u201cthe urgency of collective dialogue and unified action to protect human rights and ensure the rule of law\u201d.<\/p>\n

The activists expressed concern over what they see as a shrinking civil society space on the continent \u201cwith increasing reports of crackdowns on dissent, harassment, abductions and the killings of activists\u201d.<\/p>\n

Hardi Yakubu, Movement Coordinator of Africans Rising, called on the continent\u2019s leaders to demonstrate the political will to champion the cause of a borderless Africa whereby citizens can travel freely between countries without the need for visas.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must move beyond rhetoric and take concrete steps towards making this vision a reality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Delegates agreed that this would not only enhance the movement of people and goods \u201cbut also strengthen intra-African trade, foster economic prosperity and build fraternity among Africans\u201d.<\/p>\n

Samia Nkrumah, President of the Kwame Nkrumah Pan-African Centre and daughter of Pan-African icon Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah, said in her opening address: \u201cWe can achieve this with the necessary political will and determination. The time for action is now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma Nyerere, the daughter of another Pan-Africanist leader, President Julius Nyerere of Tanzania, also stressed the need for solidarity, which she said was crucial in tackling poverty, inequality and neocolonialism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time has come for us to unite and face our challenges together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
