Zimbabwe stands at the heart of African freedom history according to East African Community Executive Secretary Veronica Nduva. After walking through the Museum of African Liberation, she stressed how Africa must keep true records of its past. The museum sits inside an area called Liberation City where builders have started work already.
Nduva had just finished an important meeting about problems in the Democratic Republic of Congo. She took time between official duties to check out what she called a historic country. Her visit brought attention to how Zimbabwe helped lead the way when African nations fought to break free from colonial rule. She pointed out that any talk about freedom fighters across Africa must include Zimbabwe.
The museum project excited Nduva who felt connected to her roots during the tour. She noticed flags from many African nations displayed throughout the building. This made her feel like she had returned home despite being far from her East African base. Nduva praised the project as an excellent step forward for preserving continental history.
The large museum takes up 103 hectares of land dedicated to telling liberation stories. Workers have already broken ground at the site which will showcase freedom struggles from across Africa. The space gives visitors a chance to learn about different independence movements. Construction crews continue building what will become an important historical center for future generations.
