WHAT STEVE HARVEY DOESN’T KNOW ABOUT THE UAE AND AFRICA

American TV personality Steve Harvey seems to be blinded by the shiny rise of the United Arab Emirates. In a recent interview, he gushes no other nation has achieved what the UAE has done in the space of fifty years.

Well, in this episode of African in 90, we reel off a few African civilisations that rose out of the desert centuries before! What’s more, he says the UAE’s rapid ascent reflects its ‘vision’ to help ‘people.’ Has no one told him about the UAE selling out the Palestinians and fuelling war and destruction in Sudan and Libya?

Seems like Steve is getting giddy on skyscrapers and petrodollars. Here’s a reality check from African Stream’s Ahmed Ghoneim.
