You just don’t hear this side of the story of Africa over here and it is so important to say it. The usual negative stereotyping from rock stars and NGOs is shown to be wrong and utterly disgusting not just in their portrayal of Africa but how they are pulling the ladder of real development away and glossing it over with respecting traditions or the planet. Instead it is the West that is falling behind, Angola with 11% growth, fantastic, I genuinely felt excited listening to this debate.
This debate is a stormer - how refreshing to have a panel discussing what is really going on in Africa its growth and more - such an amazing change from the usual pity fest. Loved Angus Kennedy’s point re sustainable development as something you’d only want for a cancerous tumour- i.e. it will be limited, won’t grow and will be controlled. Totally agree too with Marieme Jamme on microfinance keeping women poor. Brilliant!
