"The
Africa which the world needs is a continent able to stand up, to walk on its own
feet rather than on crutches or on its head, in vacuous mimicry or escapism. It
is an Africa conscious of its own past and able to keep on reinvesting this past
into its present and future."
Africa,
which today seems to be lagging behind, is in fact the cradle of humanity, and
has produced over long periods of time the first major inventions of the human
mind. It can offer not so much a model or lessons, but original pathways to help
immunise our species against the most deadly social viruses
"We
must rebuild the identity from which the African peoples have become alienated..."
"We
are not exploited because we are black, we are black because we are exploited.
The day we are seen as equals, people will stop seeing the colour of our skin."
