'Neocolonialism is worse than colonization' — Crispin Kabasele Tshimanga Babanya

Crispin Kabasele Tshimanga Babanya condemns the April 25 attack in Mali and connects the rise of terrorism to imperialism, capitalism, and the continued plundering of weaker states.

In this speech, he argues that Africa continues to suffer under neocolonialism, where political independence exists in name while real decision-making remains constrained by former colonial powers. He presents socialism as an antidote to capitalism and explains the anti-imperialist mission of the Union of Socialist Democrats in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
