Africa is not a fun place, you know. A fun place is somewhere that lifts the spirits, that cossets the senses. I don't think that can be said of the Africa I traveled in.
V. S. Naipaul
Image
Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
Bono
Image
Africa is closer to me in every way than Iraq or Syria.
Muammar al-Gaddafi

Africa? A book one thumbs Listlessly, till slumber comes.
Countee Cullen

Africans who immigrate to America know how little racism exists there. They suspect it before emigrating from Africa, and they know it after arriving in America. Indeed, America, the Left's depiction of it notwithstanding, is the least racist country in the world.
Dennis Prager
Image
Africa has been going through so much for so many years it's time that it stands up the way other nations are standing up.
Nas

Africa is an extraordinary opportunity at the moment
David Adjaye

Africa, your sufferings have been the theme that has arrested & engaged my heart.
William Wilberforce

Africa's salvation doesn't lie in begging and begging for more aid, and as an African, I find it very, very humiliating.
George Ayittey

Africa's agricultural sector has enormous scope for development, which would benefit both the continent's economy and its people.

Africa. There are a gazillion different languages people speak there, different bone structures, so vast and different.
Devendra Banhart
Image
Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions.
Barack Obama

Africa is being raped mainly by Asia, but the second largest market for dead endangered animals is the US. Most don't know this is happening. I didn't, but once I found out, I had to try and help.
Kristin Bauer van Straten
Image
Africa is not just about where you are born. For me, Africa is the whole continent from south to north, to east to west.
Angelique Kidjo
Image
Africa has been troubled for a long time - well, the world has been troubled ever since I was born.
Hugh Masekela
Image
Africa does not have an uncle abroad who will come to bail it out of its political and economic woes. It is important that African countries wake up and pool whatever resources they have and jointly deal elements pulling our continent down a death blow.
Bernard Membe
Image
Africa is less a wilderness than a repository of primary and fundamental values, and less a barbaric land than an unfamiliar voice
Beryl Markham
Image
Africa, amongst the continents, will teach it to you: that God and the Devil are one, the majesty coeternal, not two uncreated but one uncreated, and the Natives neither confounded the persons nor divided the substance.
Isak Dinesen
Image
Africa, help me to go home, carry me like an aged child in your arms. Undress me and wash me. Strip me of all of these garments, strip me as a man strips off dreams when the dawn comes. . . .
Aime Cesaire
Image
Africa's risks are mainly perceived and not real. Unfortunately for us in Africa we are not really very good at telling our own story. But things are changing and people are beginning to understand that things are going very, very well.
Aliko Dangote
Image
Africa must revert to what it was before the imperialists divided it. These are artificial divisions which we, in our pan-African concept will seek to remove.
Robert Mugabe
Image
Africa the continent is not just what we see on the news. It's... not AIDS, and it's not just war and poverty. It's so much more. It's an abundant continent, and Botswana is an abundant place.
Jill Scott
Image
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.
James Shikwati
Image
Africa has no future.
