The current issue of African development

African humanity is a place of hope, because in it lie the principles for combating the particular form of evil from which we suffer in our countries: impoverishment, destitution, the internalization within us of the forces and structures of deadly inequality. The shared misfortune of poverty can only be overcome by shared happiness, and the ethical depth of Africa is shared happiness. With this ethical depth, it is possible to re-humanize the world and take advantage of this re-humanization of the world for our development. African humanity must therefore be the source of inspiration most capable of enabling us not to allow ourselves to be crushed by the global structures of our impoverishment. It is insofar as it is underpinned by the ambition to build shared happiness through communal progress, as opposed to the individualized unveiling imposed on us by the current world order. We need to initiate a civilizational turnaround now, starting with a rejection of the neo-liberal spellbinding whose harmful effects we can see everywhere in our countries, and set up community initiatives.
