Its not only his responcibility alone but one that binds us all. The unfortunate part is that we are all looking down on ourselves as africans and dont believe we can contribute. I have a quastion Do we really need the developed countries so much that without their presence we can't make it?. Come now Africans its up to you that this be done by us. I believe we can.
