Amilcar Cabral: speech on the cancer of betrayal, after the death of Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah. Amilcar Cabral himself was murdered by the cancer of betrayal.
Amilcar Cabral's speech"Le Cancer de la Trahison"(The Cancer of Betrayal)during Kwame Nkrumah's state funeral in Conakry on May 13, 1972.
Intro:
In his last public speech in Conakry, at the funeral of the former Ghanaian president Nkrumah, Amilcar Cabral had denounced the cancer of betrayal that eats up African movements. His comments today take a strange resonance in Guinea as in Angola, and Mozambique, where many movements are demanding power which the Portuguese have not yet abandoned.
[Cabral]
"What to say?
At this point, we must speak. Otherwise, if we don't talk, our hearts may burst. Our tears should not infiltrate the truth.
We, freedom fighters, do not mourn the death of a man, even a man who was a comrade and an exemplary revolutionary,
Because, as President Ahmed Sekou Toure often says, 'what is man in front of the infinite being and transgression of the people and of humanity?'
We do not mourn the people of Ghana scoffed in its most beautiful realisations, in its most legitimate aspirations.
We are not crying for Africa, betrayed. We are mourning, yes, of hatred towards those who were able to betray NKRUMAH to serve the ignoble imperialism ...
Mr President, Africa by requiring through the voice of the people of the Republic of Guinea, as always fairly represented by President Ahmed Sekou Toure,
whom NKRUMAH had put in his right place, above Kilimandjaro's highest summits; of the African revolution. Africa rehabilitates itself and through history.
President NKRUMAH, whom we honor, is primarily the great strategist of the struggle against classic colonialism
He is the one who created what we call African positivism, what he called "positive action", affirmative action.
We pay tribute to the declared enemy of neocolonialism in Africa and elsewhere, the strategist of economic development in his country.
Mr President, we praise the freedom fighter of the African people who always gave his full support to national liberation movements
And we want to tell you, that, in Guinea and Cape Verde, even though it is true that the most important factor for the development of our struggle outside our country
was the independence of the Republic of Guinea, the heroic 'no' of the people of Guinea on 28 September 1958.
It is also true that if we went through the struggle regenerated, it was essentially due to the concrete support of Ghana and particularly of President Nkrumah ...
Mr. President, at this moment, we should remember that all coins in life have two sides, all realities have positive and negative sides
To all positive action, there is an opposite negative action and vice versa.
To what extent is betrayal's success in Ghana linked to problems of class struggle, from contributions to social structures,
...from the role of party or other institutions including the armed forces as part of a new independent state.
To what level, we shall ask ourselves, is betrayal's success in Ghana linked to a correct definition of this historical entity and craftsman of history that is the people and their daily work, in defending its own independence conquests?
Or, to what extent is betrayal's success not linked to the major problem of the choice of men in the revolution?
My idea on this question will allow us to better understand the greatness of Nkrumah's work, to understand the complexity of problems he had to face so many times alone.
Problems which allow us to conclude that, as imperialism exists, an independent state in Africa should be a liberation movement to power or it will not exist.
Let no one tell us that Nkrumah died of a cancer to the throat or some other disease. No, Nkrumah has been killed by the cancer of betrayal that we should uproot ...
by the cancer of betrayal that we should root out of Africa if we really want to definitely crush the imperialist domination on this continent.
But, we, Africans, firmly believe that the dead continue living by our sides, we are a society of dead and living.
Nkrumah will resuscitate each dawn in the hearts and in the determinations of freedom fighters; in the action of all true African patriots.
Our liberation movement will not forgive those who betrayed Nkrumah, the people of Ghana will not forgive, Africa will not forgive, progressive mankind will not forgive!"

Father, u will never be Forgotten.....
Together they can't break us we are strong,
Divide us and the road leads to destruction,
Don't you fall a pray to Babylon
They want to pull us all in different directions,
So they take you from the root and teach you their own truth,
Open up your mind, please don't you be so blind,
Nothing it for the faith, a million for the love,
When it'all said and done (hold on) we're more than blood,
By Stephen Marley
