Africans did not go to war for democracy.
They went to war for their land.
Because without land, there is no freedom,
no democracy, and no peace.
Today, the struggle for land continues—
and it will not end until what was taken is restored.

Imagine if African schools started the year with Sankara’s speeches instead of Bible verses.
If our children learned Kimathi’s defiance before Churchill’s lies.
If we replaced “missionary heroes” with our revolutionaries.

In one generation, Africa would no longer need saviors.
