Africa is always only portrayed as a continent of suffering, but most figures are vastly exaggerated.
James Shikwati
No one can really picture an African as a businessman. In order to change the current situation, it would be helpful if the aid organizations were to pull out.
James Shikwati
Development aid is one of the reasons for Africa's problems. If the West were to cancel these payments, normal Africans wouldn't even notice. Only the functionaries would be hard hit. Which is why they maintain that the world would stop turning without this development aid.
James Shikwati
Africa must take the first steps into modernity on its own. There must be a change in mentality. We have to stop perceiving ourselves as beggars.
