provides an opportunity for us to reflect on how we preserve our unique identity while responding to the demands of a rapidly changing world,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nTouching on the issue of sovereignty, the Chief of Staff argued that true independence goes beyond political freedom and must be reflected in a nation\u2019s capacity to meet the needs of its people.<br \/>\n\u201cA sovereign nation must be capable of feeding its people, educating its children, protecting its vulnerable, and financing its own development priorities,\u201d he emphasized.<br \/>\nMr. Debrah urged African governments to strengthen domestic production, support local industries, expand regional trade, and reduce dependence on external actors in order to achieve meaningful economic independence.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging the importance of international partnerships, he maintained that African countries must retain the right to determine their own social and cultural norms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfrica must remain open to cooperation and engagement with the world, but we must also preserve the right to define our own identity and values,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>He further argued that Africa\u2019s long-standing beliefs regarding family life, parenthood, and community relations should continue to inform public policy and national development strategies.<br \/>\nThe Chief of Staff also underscored the role of traditional authorities, faith-based organisations, and community elders in safeguarding Africa\u2019s cultural heritage and strengthening social cohesion.<\/p>\n<p>He called for increased investment in indigenous languages, cultural education, and the creative arts to ensure younger generations remain connected to their roots.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the challenges facing Africa\u2019s youth, Mr. Debrah warned that unemployment and limited opportunities pose a far greater threat to the continent\u2019s values than globalization or technological advancement.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cThe greatest threat to African values is not technology or globalisation. It is hopelessness,\u201d he declared<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He stressed that empowering young people through quality education, skills training, entrepreneurship, and job creation would reinforce their commitment to Africa\u2019s future and cultural heritage.<br \/>\nNonetheless, Dr. Debrah called for stronger institutions, visionary leadership, and collective action to build an Africa that is confident in its identity, secure in its values, and capable of determining its own destiny.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed optimism that the deliberations and outcomes of the 4th African Inter-Parliamentary Conference on Family, Sovereignty and Values would contribute significantly to strengthening families, deepening sovereignty, and advancing sustainable development across the continent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix NYAABA\/\/expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chief of Staff, Dr Julius Debrah has called on African leaders and policymakers to pursue economic growth and technological advancement without sacrificing the continent\u2019s cultural [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[4577],"class_list":["post-24700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-africa-news","tag-julius-debrah-africa-soveinity"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
