Africa in the 21st Century: The Future Outlook
« on: December 17, 2006, 10:05:14 PM »
This is a speech delivered by Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, to the African Peoples Association (APA) at Bowling Green State University, OH, on November 29, 2006.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up;
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up;
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle;
When the sun comes up, you’d better start running.

It seems to me that Africa has been running for many years and the rest of the world has been feasting on the continent’s challenges. Africa must run faster and turn tables around to ensure it gets it rightful place on this earth.

The subject of Africa’s economic future is broad; I doubt anyone can do proper justice to it in the one hour we have here today.

What I hope I can accomplish is to paint for you a picture of the reality that exists on the ground and the pointers to the continent’s future. It is the story of a glass being half-full rather than half-empty!

Africa’s future is a hopeful one!
