Africa - Sow unity seeds now!

We can see conflicts everywhere in Africa. Some are visible, others are invisible.

The Africans must think about the real causes of the problems. We should think Africa and not only our countries or nations. We should think seriously about who we are. We are never what others say or think we are. We have some concepts but I believe that they are not OUR concepts. We should be honest we ourselves. What is really ours? We are really imitating the Europeans. We are Africans with our typical nature and history. We are not inferiors to other people; but we do not know who we are. Why? Because we are not honest enough to recognize our imposed limitations. Today is my first time to send my comment. It is a sort of introduction to what bit by bit we can share. I am very concerned with the Unity of and in Africa.

There are ethnic conflicts. We do not think Africa. We still think in terms of TRIBES. We need men of UNITY and for unity. I personally feel good in Zimbabwe. I Feel good in Cameroon in Gabon, in Ethiopia, in South Africa, in Botswana, in Uganda, in Rwanda, in Kenya and so forth. I feel comfortable with ALL peoples of Africa. I love all peoples of the world. I like the Chinese, the Europeans, the Americans, the Jews people and the Arabs.

In AFRICA we have to think deeper of our concepts. I am afraid but I think that the concepts we proudly exhibit are not our own concepts. We need some ORIGINALITY. We need some AUTHENTICITY. Not the word authenticity but we need AUTHENTICITY. Not a false AUTHENTICITY. How? We should COOPERATE. We are trying to COOPERATE with the EUROPEANS but there is NO UNITY among the countries and peoples of Africa. I cannot say among the Nations of Africa. We are countries; We have territories and populations; but WHERE ARE THE NATIONS OF AFRICA?

There are many aspects we can take into consideration so that we reach this goal. We have to stop CONTROLLING AND MANIPULATING OTHERS.I believe that this must be the first step. WE HAVE TO CHANGE WHAT WE ARE NOW. There is no other way. If we do not change NOW, the future of Africa will be according to what WE ARE SOWING NOW.

Thank you for accepting to share with Africa and my brothers and sisters in Africa.
Yours for the Unity of Africa.
