‘Partnerships must be on our terms’ — Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has called for a stronger African voice in international affairs, saying the continent must move beyond a relationship with the rest of the world in which it has limited influence over decisions affecting its resources and development.
His comments put greater African participation in global decision-making at the centre of the debate over the continent’s future relationship with international partners.
We must have a greater say in what those resources are used for,” he said in an interview with TRT World on Friday, August 21, 2026 According to President Mahama, the objective should not be to shut Africa off from international cooperation but to create a more balanced relationship in which African countries have a meaningful say in decisions that affect their economies and people.
