Dangerous Chinalisation of Africa

However the question and the debate that Africans should be engaging in is whether the Chinese have come as benefactors or as imperialists. I have to be frank and open that I hate to see this debate being orchestrated in the western press and by western political analysts while Africans as usual, in our lackadaisical manner engage in meaningless and useless discussions as Africa is being foisted with another “scramble” for our continent’s resources.

At least in 1884, we could proffer an excuse that we didn’t understand what was going on then. Today with more than 50% of the African population well-educated, this type of silence and ignorance will be a great disservice to our continent, as well as to the future generations of Africans who would ask how we stood by and let another “scramble for Africa” take place with our eyes wide open.
