Catholic Activists Caution African Countries against Digital ID System, Say it’s “a trap” in Disguise

The Catholic activists highlight the disadvantages of the system, saying it will affect daily life, as work, travel, healthcare, and even worship could require system approval.

If adopted, the system will also encourage surveillance by default, the activists say, and explain that purchases, movements, and opinions will not only be monitored but will also be stored.

The Catholic activists say that the system will further encourage “punishment for dissent”, where fines, bans, or blocks will be applied to views that will be labelled as “misinformation.”

Financial control will also be a consequence of African governments adopting the system, the Catholic activists say and explain that such control will be “tied to digital currencies, so your money can be limited or switched off.”

“The worst part? A Digital ID hands them the legal infrastructure to execute their globalist and ideological agenda without needing public consent,” they say and explain that this will be done whether an individual agrees or not.

They warn that all that the proponents of the system need is the government’s cooperation, and once a global Digital ID goes live, then “the globalists won’t need your permission—or even your country’s government.”

The activists further explain the dangers associated with the system, especially when “digital control meets ideology.”

“In Canada, during the 2022 ‘Freedom Truckers Convoy,’ banks blocked and froze hundreds of protesters’ accounts at the behest of the Left-wing government, leaving some without access to medical and living funds overnight. No warning,” they say.

They add, “Africa's governments are accelerating the roll-out, but we can still slam the brakes if we act together now. CitizenGO is already on the front lines: exposing hidden agendas, rallying citizens, and forcing leaders to back down.”

“Together, we’ve already delayed treaties, blocked laws, and made governments think twice before trading freedom for control,” the Catholic activists say.
