    This is Africa, 8 January 2013

    Africa has great potential to climb many value chains and create thousands of new jobs. It is time to test a new approach to realising this potential.

    It is really time for a new approach and that means Africa needs to disentangle itself from the existing system and which can only be done through uniformity. There is great amount of division in Africa, national line, tribal line, colonial line etc. To do business between neighbouring countries is difficult. With all the potentials if Africa is not in uniform nothing good can be achieved and it weakness will continue to increase. Uniformity must begin at regional level. The West was created after the second world war and NATO was created to protect their interest. They share everything among themselves, Technology, Knowledge etc. We have to learn from others.
