Explain the factors which undermine the pan African movement.
Answer:
- Illiteracy and ignorance among some people of African descent hindered support to pan African leaders.
- The leaders of pan African movement failed to agree on the last approach to uplift the welfare of people of Africa origin e.g. W.E.B Dubois Booker T. Washington.
- Many Europeans groups fought the activities of Pan-Africans-such hostilities led to
imprisonment of Marcus Garvey.
- European powers exposed their dominance in the international media to water down pan Africanism by spreading negative propaganda.
- Many countries of the African continent were still under the colonial yoke making it difficult for leaders to participate in the activities of the movement.
