Fierce opponent of French colonialism shares impressions of Baku Conference

Renowned activist and fighter for the rights of African peoples, Kemi Seba, has shared his impressions of the recent press conference held in Baku, in which he took part.

According to Report, a video from the press conference has been posted on his Instagram page.

In his post, Kemi Seba emphasized that the main goal of the Baku Initiative Group (BIG) is to support movements that oppose French neocolonialism. "Only a fool can stay away from this movement," declared the French-born activist, who was stripped of his citizenship for his human rights activities.

Kemi Seba, born in Strasbourg, France, in 1981, is recognized as a symbolic leader of the movement for African independence and sovereignty and actively fights against neocolonialism. In 2024, the French government stripped Seba of his French citizenship for openly criticizing French authorities over the damage inflicted on African countries by Paris' colonial policies and for supporting independence movements in French overseas territories. French authorities have also arrested Seba several times to pressure him to back down from his position and renounce his activities.

In response to losing his French citizenship, the President of Niger appointed Seba as a special advisor, and several African countries provided him with diplomatic passports. Seba boasts a wide audience across various social media platforms, with 1.3 million followers on Facebook, 370,000 on TikTok, 306,000 on Instagram, 280,000 on X and 230,000 on YouTube.
