Are we still slaves?

We all know that slavery is the worst page of our history. This form of subjugation of one man by another happened in a time where the black man were seen as an instrument of work and he/she should have its owner. Two hundred years ago, slavery was abolished and the black man became free. He couldn't be bought or sold. After the end of slavery then colonialism emerged and once again the black man was in the hands of Europeans. Our antecedents bravery fought for their freedom against the same enemy, the white man. Their small continent were not enough, they wanted more land, more richness. But our people did not gave up fighting back against the strangers. And one day, they recognized that colonialism was not the best way to get what they really wanted. Then they gave us freedom again. That freedom was worthless. We apparently had the control of our own land, our resources and our lives. But we were unfree because our leaders weren't working for us, but to the colonizers.  Some call this phenomenon "Neocolonialism". A new way to control African people and its resources. And today we think that the gold mines in South Africa, the petrol extracted in Angola and Nigeria, the diamonds in Sierra Leon, the large extensive of land in Mozambique belong to the African people. The history tells us that we are constantly target of the strangers. The same people who proclaim the human rights are the same who made ours ancestors slave, facing all misery conditions when transported in the slave ships. They argued that slavery was against the human principles, but again, they launched colonialism and neocolonialism. The history tells us that we are not free. There is no freedom. The misery condition of life faced by our people throughout the continent cannot be justified when we have land to cultivate, mineral resources, when we have people to work, when we have natural reasons to get out of this situation. But first we have to admit that we are not free, but we are still slaves.
