#DearAfrica
In this desperately charged political environment, where everyone and everything is on a #charmoffensive-new scramble for Africa,through wealth disbursements as grants, please sit back and enjoy everything thrown to you. Do not hesitate to collect from whoever and wherever that might be and #goodtiming to hand money back to you after all it is time #payingbackthemoney, but be wise; any #conditionattached, produce the “all-too-familiar gesture without the other four fingers showing.” Such act according to a court ruling has been identified as a “form of free speech,” backed by good reason and for Africa, such good reason include; bringing back #austerity with stolen African wealth. Austerity of the past did lots of damages with its harsh conditions attached which set Africa decades backward and #Britain knows how austerity feels now.
We shouldn’t continue to play the novice in the arena of world politics. New Scramble of Africa is solely for control. New endless wave of charm offensive is on the way as different countries with weapons and wealth compete to have Africa under their armpit. Nations in this geopolitical contest has interest and we have interest too and ours shouldn’t be of indifference to past injustice-used and abused on our resources. So take full advantage of such wealth disbursements or call it handouts and be wise to use it to uplift the poor masses who have carried the burden of corporate corruption for so long. Please avoid the act of #secretoffshorebanking, we know all about elite corruption here too- accountability now must take precedent in the New Africa of our dream. Please try reduce the sufferings of the poor masses by having their interest at heart.
Africa has come of age because we know money does not build wealth rather development does. We need to work to end youths perilous journey through the Mediterranean Sea. Do not be on the side of those who exploit the land leaving #globalwarming as gifts for future generations to suffer #effectofcycloneidai. Side with the people because the #Spring is not over yet and let your legacy define you and endure joy for the masses or else #askSudan.
