“EVERYONE SAYS AFRICA SHOULD FEED HERSELF.” SO WHY IS EVERYONE STILL EATING FROM HER TABLE? Because too much of the world loves the idea of an Africa that is “developing” as long as that development never matures into real control. They praise self-sufficiency in speeches, but remain deeply comfortable with an arrangement in which Africa supplies the cocoa but not the chocolate, the crude but not the refinery, the cotton but not the textile empire, the lithium and cobalt but not the battery dominance, the land but not the full value of what that land can produce. In other words, they want Africa productive enough to keep the global system fed, but not powerful enough to own the kitchen.

Hahahahaha, can't believe Abdul is among those in the picture sitting and eating from the African table. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! After all Abdul is the first foreigner to have historically eaten from the African table. Ha-ha!!
