加纳总统 John Dramani Mahama 先生将作为主旨演讲嘉宾，出席 2025 年 10 月 20 日至 21 日在莱贡大学统计、社会与经济研究所（ISSER）举行的第五届泛非大会 80 周年国际纪念会议。

该消息由资深记者、泛非进步阵线（PPF）组委会成员 Kwesi Pratt Jr. 先生于 2025 年 10 月 7 日在加纳首都阿克拉举行的新闻发布会上宣布。

Pratt 先生表示，本次会议主题为 "从历史记忆到经济政治正义——团结泛非进步力量"，将反思 1945 年曼彻斯特大会未竟的使命——该大会为非洲解放运动和非盟成立奠定了基础。

他特别强调 Mahama 总统参会的重大意义，指出这位前总统目前担任非盟赔偿事务主席，在推动非洲大陆经济正义事业中发挥着关键作用。

"我们特别感谢 John Dramani Mahama 总统欣然接受演讲邀请。" Pratt 先生表示："鉴于总统作为非盟官方赔偿事务主席，始终致力于践行 Modibo Keita、Sekou Toure、Patrice Lumumba 等非盟奠基者的议程，此举具有特殊重要性。"

预计会议将吸引来自 50 多个非洲和加勒比国家的代表，包括政党、工会、青年妇女组织、学生运动及群众性公民团体。

讨论议题涵盖民族解放斗争的延续、独立成果巩固、大陆团结、赔偿正义，以及旨在使非洲摆脱新殖民统治的社会经济发展新模式。

Pratt 先生透露，多位非洲著名学者和活动家将参会，包括南非金属工人总工会秘书长 Irvin Jim 同志、海岸角大学教授兼国家媒体委员会主席 Akua Britwum 先生、加纳伊斯兰大学学院前副校长 Gamal Nasser Adam 博士，以及尼日利亚劳工大会秘书长 Joe Ajaero 先生。

他同时表示正在力邀萨赫勒国家联盟领导人参会，包括拟发表演讲的布基纳法索总统 Ibrahim Traoré 先生。

Pratt 先生强调本次纪念活动超越历史反思，是 "非洲人民在全球格局不利于其摆脱债务负担和资源掠夺所致贫困的背景下，为捍卫权利而进行的积极再集结"。

他指出 1945 年曼彻斯特大会倡导的民族解放、自决和资源控制精神，在全球联盟重组和数字经济重塑权力格局的当下仍具现实意义。

Pratt 先生呼吁媒体在泛非觉醒的新阶段发挥核心作用，以力量和尊严的姿态传播非洲声音。

"我们邀请各位成为非洲伟大复兴的合作伙伴。" 他表示。这场由泛非进步阵线组织的为期两天的会议，将汇聚致力于推进 21 世纪非洲政治经济主权的思想家、活动家和政策制定者。会议成果将体现为签署决定非洲未来数十年发展方向的《阿克拉宣言》。

Mahama, African Leaders to Champion Reparations at Pan-African Congress Anniversary October 20-21

President John Dramani Mahama will deliver the keynote address at the International Conference commemorating the 80th anniversary of the 5th Pan-African Congress scheduled for October 20-21, 2025, at the Institute of Statistical, Social and Economic Research (ISSER) of the University of Ghana, Legon.

The announcement was made by veteran journalist and member of the organising committee of the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF), Kwesi Pratt Jr., at a press launch held on October 7, 2025, in Accra.

Mr Pratt said the conference, themed, “From Historical Memory to Economic and Political Justice – Uniting Pan-African Progressive Forces,” will reflect on the unfinished mission of the 1945 Manchester Congress, which set the tone for Africa’s liberation movements and the formation of the African Union.

He described President Mahama’s participation as highly significant, noting that the former President currently serves as the African Union’s Chairperson on Reparations and has been instrumental in advancing the cause of economic justice across the continent.

“We are especially grateful to President John Dramani Mahama for graciously accepting to address the meeting,” Mr Pratt stated. 

“This for us is of particular importance, given that President Mahama is the official African Union chairperson on Reparations and has committed himself to pursuing the agenda of the founding fathers of the African Union, including Modibo Keita, Sekou Toure, Patrice Lumumba, and others.”

The conference is expected to attract delegates from more than 50 African and Caribbean countries, including political parties, trade unions, youth and women’s organisations, student movements, and mass-based civil society groups. 

Discussions will focus on the continuation of national liberation struggles, the consolidation of independence, continental unity, reparative justice, and new models of social and economic development aimed at freeing Africa from neocolonial domination.

According to Mr Pratt, several prominent African scholars and activists will take part in the conference, among them Comrade Irvin Jim, General Secretary of the Metal Workers Union of South Africa; Professor Akua Britwum of the University of Cape Coast and Chairperson of the National Media Commission; Dr Gamal Nasser Adam, former Vice President of the Islamic University College, Ghana; and Joe Ajaero, General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress.

He also revealed that efforts were underway to secure the participation of the leadership of the Alliance of Sahel States, including Burkina Faso’s President Ibrahim Traoré, who is expected to address participants.

Mr Pratt explained that the commemoration goes beyond historical reflection, describing it as a “positive regathering of Africans to assert their rights in a world shaped against their dreams for freedom from all forms of poverty occasioned by the debt burden and the unbridled exploitation of their resources.”

He said the spirit of the 1945 Manchester Congress, which championed national liberation, self-determination, and control of Africa’s resources, remained relevant today as global alliances shift and digital economies reshape global power dynamics.

Mr Pratt urged the media to play a central role in this new phase of Pan-African awakening by amplifying Africa’s voice and telling its story from a position of strength and dignity. “We invite you to be partners in this great rebirth of Africa,” he said.

The two-day event, organised by the Pan-African Progressive Front, will bring together thinkers, activists and policymakers committed to advancing Africa’s political and economic sovereignty in the 21st century. The Conference results will culminate in the signing of the Accra Declaration, which will define Africa's future for decades.
