It's a long, complicated issue that speaks to injustices done by the North to Africa and how rather than benefiting from their land and rich natural resources, Africans continues to suffer all sorts of social ills like poverty, conflict, environmental destruction and sicknesses caused by the mining activities. On one hand the European capitalists are abusing and looting everything that they come across here from surface level to underground since their arrival in Africa and still continue to do that without care, respect and mindful of future damages. In a way they began with slave trade and destruction of human dignity to what has now become economic slavery and destruction of the continent in the form of investments...that unfortunately don't benefit us in any way. There's nothing for us as civilization itself is a way of upliftingthe North through consumption of their products and services by Africans - their biggest and growing market.
Norway as one of the richest countries due to its oil reserves since its discovery in the early 1940s, has put its citizens at the centre of everything and thus managed to build the country, excellent infrastructure and social security for its people.........WHY CAN'T IT BE THE SAME FOR EACH OF THE AFRICAN COUNTRIES??
As part of their efforts to contribute in the fight against injustices in the world they have through many platforms and ways formulated partnerships with other countries in an effort to mobilizeand lobby for the restructuring of the Extractive Industries and Ecological Debt in East and West Africa. The attached reports will just give youa glimpse of the status quo...including the websites below.
There are also many other organisations involved: www.afridad.org;www.ejn.org.za; www.ecologicaldebt.org; www.eiti.org and their websiteswill give you a clear picture of what the whole project is all about. This is the heart of African survival and sustainability for future generations and I intend making it my field of focus now on....into a better and free Africa from Western imperialism.
I thus invite you to be part of this network as means of restoring our land!!

Africa has for generations been subjected to lots of injustices because of the Western countries who exploited and destroyed its inhabitants and its fullness. This blog is to create a space for dialogue between the African descendants by raising consciousness about the issues that we might be unaware of; the tragedies felt by the majority and seek ways of building a better continent; restore our pride and unity as the 'sons of the soil'; build dignity and sustainability for our Motherland.
