Abstract
Th is presentation argues that there is an imperative need to understand that Africa attained the flag and national anthem independence only , because a critical analysis of 21st century Africa indicates that Eurocentric principles, values and practices are still evident and that too many African states have been captured and become subjects of Eurocentric hegemony in a fashion that is reminiscent of recolonization. Thus, the imperialist’s goals are the creation of disorder and general political-economic chaos, a process intended to generate criminal opportunities for the fascistic superpower, the USA, and its subordinate imperialist powers in Europe and beyond.

Keywords: Eurocentric, recolonization, independence, hegemony, exploitation.
