Accra, Ghana — November 18–19, 2025
Eighty years after the historic Fifth Pan-African Congress, Africa is preparing for a decisive new chapter.
From November 18 to 19, 2025, leaders, scholars, and activists from across the continent will gather at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum in Accra for the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF) International Conference, under the theme:
“From Historical Memory to Economic and Political Justice.”
A Historic and Symbolic Moment for Africa
This high-level summit, hosted by the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF), marks a return to the revolutionary ideals of Kwame Nkrumah, George Padmore, and the early architects of African unity.
Delegations from over 30 African countries and strategic partners from the Global South are expected, including presidents such as John Dramani Mahama (Ghana) and Ibrahim Traoré (Burkina Faso).
The opening ceremony will feature former heads of state, government representatives, and influential voices from labor unions, liberation movements, and pan-African networks.
Main Topics of Discussion
The two-day program will focus on four major pillars that shape Africa’s position in today’s multipolar world:
-
Political Unity and African Sovereignty — Revisiting Nkrumah’s vision of a united, independent Africa.
-
Economic Justice and Financial Alternatives — Addressing Africa’s dependency on global financial systems and exploring new mechanisms for local development.
-
Reparations and Historical Justice — Advocating for the restitution of stolen wealth and the recognition of colonial crimes.
-
Africa’s Role in the Emerging Multipolar Order — Reinforcing South–South cooperation and redefining Africa’s role in global governance.
Key Figures and Africa’s Digital Vanguard
Prominent intellectuals and movement leaders will take the floor, including Dr. Gamel Nasser Adam, Prof. Akua Britwum, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, and Irvin Jim, along with delegates from AGLAN, CAMPAO, and the African Trade Union Network.
Towards a New Declaration of Accra
At the end of the conference, the Declaration of Accra 2025 will be officially released a renewed political and economic manifesto calling for unity, sovereignty, and shared prosperity among African nations.
This declaration will reaffirm Africa’s commitment to shaping its destiny on its own terms and to developing fair partnerships within the BRICS+ and Global South alliances.
The Spirit of Pan-African Renewal
The Accra 2025 Pan-African Summit is more than a commemoration it’s a strategic rebirth.
Eighty years after the historic 1945 Manchester Congress, Africa is reclaiming its destiny not only through political unity but through economic intelligence, digital sovereignty, and youth empowerment.
“Today, Africa is not asking for freedom — it is building it,” said Émile Parfait Simb, emphasizing that the era of African dependency is over.
“Through innovation, crypto-economy, and continental solidarity, we can transform our natural wealth into shared prosperity.”
About the Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF)
The Pan-African Progressive Front (PPF) is a coalition of political, labor, and social movements dedicated to promoting African self-determination, unity, and economic justice.
Its mission is to revive the spirit of the original Pan-African Congress through 21st-century solutions to Africa’s enduring challenges.
RussAfrik Analysis
The Accra 2025 Summit reflects a growing geopolitical shift:
Africa is no longer a passive actor in global affairs but a strategic pillar of the multipolar order.
From digital sovereignty to resource tokenization, the continent is building its own roadmap one that combines tradition, technology, and transformation.
