While I agree with much of the article; yes Africa needs more action and less rhetoric; needs to create a better and more coherent business climate; greater stability and climate for businesses to thrive. All these are definitely a step in the right direction.
Let us not discount the need for our autonomy. Do we have a learning curve to success? Yes. It may not be smooth or easy at first but I believe in time we will have to sink or swim. There is no substitute for owning your own future; revolution or coup per Burkina Faso starts the process if we have the wherewithal to continue! There is no substitute for freedom and autonomy.
What is the AES proposing in terms of solutions?! To be honest, all of IB’s speeches are more about imperialism and blaming the West than trying to solve our problems…
I've bought your book on audible. We,in GB are being taken down the destruction of private property route. Most people don't know it but I have read about it and the process is underway but I couldn't explain it to anyone as I don't have that sort of education. And people would laugh! But there are people who see it and I've read them and they are right. Also here in Britain the sort of liberal,metropolitan ,equal rights (if your face fits) libertarian type luvvies who tend to be writers + performed HATE Singapore and regarding it as the worst sort of,most oppressive place on earth. This despite that they with their nasty stupid "art",they made TV shows I don't watch + books don't read,make sure to make enough money to live in the parts of town where the Napoleons in Rags can't access. Sorry this post I not about Africa as such,but in a way all these issues are universal,and plenty of people from Africa are now coming to GB in hopes of a proper stable life but this is having the effect of destabilising our society,though some think that was the intention anyway. If so it's not the migrants fault,we are all contributing to a world system in ways we are not even conscious of.
" Speeches don't create jobs. Rhetoric doesn't build factories."
I wish American politicians knew this. Chances are, they do. They just don't care.
It is a worldwide situation now,just more subtle (for now) in "the West".

Wrote this a while back. I think this neocolonialist meme is largely prevalent amongst African elites and immigrants to the West.
