GHANA PRES: NO MORE EXCUSES!
A while back, Africa was rarely mentioned in a positive light. Things have changed today, whether economically, whereas the world incresasingly understands it relies on African resources or, culturally, with African films, music and textiles among its exports. Ghana’s president, Nana Akufo-Addo, in this clip from last year's U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, calls for concrete actions to aid the development of our motherland.
Appropriately deploying Africa's natural and human resources may make the difference between a poverty-stricken continent and one treated with the respect and dignity it deserves. Take the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example. Despite holding $24 trillion in minerals underground, producing more than 60 per cent of the world's cobalt, and being home to more than 102 million people, the DRC is one of the poorest countries in the world. Meanwhile, multinational companies, such as Apple and Tesla, reap billions of dollars annually from Congolese resources. On the other hand, France has enjoyed access to Niger's uranium for almost five decades, but the Sahelian state has remained one of the poorest countries in the world.
To summarise Akufo-Addo’s message, the time for words has passed, and the time for action is now. Have a watch, and let us know what you think.
