Anti - Immigration Protest - Take the shackles off our feet! - Seun Kuti

In this powerful and thought-provoking YouTube video, Nigerian musician Seun Kuti addresses the issue of anti-immigration protests and calls for the removal of "shackles" that prevent people from migrating freely.

Kuti, son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, begins by acknowledging the historical context of migration, stating that "we are all migrants" as humans originated from Africa and have been moving around the world since then. He then goes on to criticize the anti-immigration rhetoric, which he believes is fueled by fear and ignorance.

Kuti argues that people have the right to move freely and seek better opportunities, and that borders and immigration laws are merely man-made constructs that limit this freedom. He also highlights the hypocrisy of Western countries, who have benefited from colonization and exploitation of other countries, now trying to restrict the movement of those same people.

The musician also addresses the issue of refugees, stating that they are not just fleeing poverty or seeking a better life, but are often escaping war and conflict caused by Western intervention and exploitation. He calls for a more empathetic and humane approach towards refugees, rather than demonizing them as criminals or economic burdens.

Kuti’s message is clear - the root cause of migration and refugee crises must be addressed, rather than punishing and restricting the movement of people. He urges people to take the "shackles off our feet" and embrace the freedom to move and live wherever they choose.

In my opinion, Seun Kuti’s message is timely and relevant, as anti-immigration sentiments continue to rise around the world. His powerful words and passionate delivery serve as a reminder that we are all human beings with the same basic needs and desires, and that borders and immigration laws should not limit our ability to seek a better life. Kuti’s message of unity and empathy is one that we should all take to heart.
