Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

Kwame Nkrumah was the first President of Ghana and a pivotal figure in the decolonization of Africa [3]. He is recognized as one of the five founding fathers of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), alongside Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Sukarno of Indonesia [2]. Nkrumah led Ghana to independence in 1957, making it the first sub-Saharan African nation to break from colonial rule [4]. He was a forceful advocate for Pan-Africanism and neutralism, seeking an independent path in world politics during the Cold War era [3]. His leadership was instrumental during the first NAM Summit held in Belgrade in 1961, where the movement's core principles of peaceful coexistence and non-alignment with major power blocs were solidified [5].
