Uphold

Upholding Africa involves preserving and promoting African culture, heritage, values, and identity. It encourages pride in African achievements, contributions to global society, and the preservation of indigenous knowledge and traditions. Upholding also includes advocating for social justice, human rights, and equality across the continent.

Resistance in the context of Yes We Can Africa signifies challenging and overcoming obstacles that hinder African progress. This includes resisting historical injustices, systemic inequalities, neocolonial exploitation, and other forms of oppression that undermine African sovereignty and development. It promotes activism, advocacy, and policies that support African self-determination and autonomy.

Resist

It encourages pan-Africanism, regional integration, and collective action towards common goals such as economic prosperity, political stability, and sustainable development. By uniting, Africans can amplify their voices on the global stage and address shared challenges effectively.
