I have a dream that one day, I will live I a continent where true democracy is practiced, where the government is of the people, by the people and for the people and not the feudalistic-aristocracy in the guice of democracy prevailant in africa
Africa is the world's second largest and second most-populous continent (the first being Asia in both categories). At about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its total land area With 1.2 billion people as of 2016, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population. The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast, the Indian Ocean to the southeast and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos. It contains 54 fully recognised sovereign states (countries), nine territories and two de facto independent states with limited or no recognition.The majority of the continent and its countries are in the Northern Hemisphere, with a substantial portion and number of countries in the Southern Hemisphere.)
Africa is considered by most paleoanthropologists to be the oldest inhabited territory on Earth, with the human species originating from the continent.During the mid-20th century, anthropologists discovered many fossils and evidence of human occupation perhaps as early as 7 million years ago (BP=before present). Fossil remains of several species of early apelike humans thought to have evolved into modern man, such as Australopithecus afarensis (radiometrically dated to approximately 3.9–3.0 million years BP, Paranthropus boisei (c. 2.3–1.4 million years BP)and Homo ergaster (c. 1.9 million–600,000 years BP) have been discovered.( google)
the above is just a synopsis of Africa, my continent.
but one question keeps running my mind everyday, and have not been able to get answer(s) and the quetion is, in a continent of 54 countries, how come there is no single country that is developed? just as it is in Asia, North Ametica and Europe. who developing at very high speed and making life better.
when will be a stoppage od reduction, in the rate of dependency on foreing technology, foreing Aids, and developing our own technology, process our primary product to finished goods? when will there be a reduction in poverty rate, reduction on dependency rate etc or are we programmed by the creator to continue like this? cant we be like countries in europe, america and Asia?
I dream of a continent where leaders dont have to stay I power till they die, a continent with high percentage of litracy(99%), where poverty, unemployment, poor infrastructure, politcal instabilty, dependency rate, mortality rate etc are infintdecimal... a continent where we produce and export more than we import, high employment rate, etc
this is my dream snd wishes. is there any possibility?
