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. And furthermore, Africa’s independence and sovereignty stands at the crossroads as Eurocentric hegemony prepares to again, takeoverthe economic opportunities and means of production in Africa.
 
Keywords: Eurocentric, recolonization, independence, hegemony, exploitation.
