Patriotism in Africa is an ever-shifting force, often invoked in moments of crisis, yet fractured by history, power struggles, and exclusion. It is both the unbreakable bond between people and land, and the very weapon used to silence, to marginalise, and to dictate who belongs and who does not. Across the continent, patriotism takes many forms—some noble, some sinister, some contradictory. It is at once a call to unity and a justification for division. https://cite.org.zw/patriotism-in-africa-between-devotion-and-disparity/
