Quite a strange editorial from The D.O. outlining basically that the long established view that everything is rosey in the garden of Africa may not be the case, take this first paragraph for instance:
"It is now several decades since Africa freed itself from the chains of colonialism. The objective of our liberation was not merely to send away the imperialists, but also to erectpolitical structures that can administrate the affairs of the people in a manner that will not only generate progress, peace and prosperity but also bring about development."
Will H.E's cry for attitudinal change no longer be just fading words on billboards but a strong wind blowing change ever more powerfully into the sails of Africa's future in the 21st century ?
KOBO,A great deal here I am not going to plough through it all. BUT I did select and play the video link "Why development in Africa is so difficult" the expert there hit the nail squarely on the head with his lecture which was clear and uncluttered.
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
It's ironic how the speaker from the Royal African Society never mentioned the new trading partners Africa has who are investing in the continents development.
Let's get real as other parts of the world are in a recession it seems that others are doing just fine. He's right about one thing more and more people are returning to Africa after being outside of the continent and have moved from Europe and America with their wealth to build up the continent.
I think we need to break the propaganda set.Africa's time on its knees are over!
