NOTHING’S WRONG WITH AFRICA!

US economist Jeffery Sachs challenged the West to put the mirror to its face at the UN Food Systems Pre-Summit in 2021.

When the imperialist powers were not colonising Africans who had systems of governance in place, they were plundering Africa’s precious resources, assassinating political figures and, fuelling wars, stifling the continent’s ability to conduct its affairs.

Sachs said Africans continue to be exploited and denied their rights recognised under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948. He mentioned Belgium’s brutal occupation that k*lled more than 10 million Congolese and the Belgian/British/US-led assassination of the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s first democratically elected leader, Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba (1925-61).

The bigger problem is not African corruption, but rather Western imperialism. Let us know your thoughts below.
