Uitleg
The National Congress of British West Africa (NCBWA) was a significant Pan-African and nationalist organization founded in 1944. It sought to address various issues affecting West Africa under colonial rule, including the political and social rights of the people. One of its key demands was for greater local control and autonomy, which included the appointment and deposition of chiefs by their own communities rather than by colonial authorities.
