The African Worry and Hope

The African worry is full of losses, sorrow and pain accrued since the colonial era which today has inflicted much agony and psychological trauma in the minds of its leaders and its common citizens. Since life in Africa is consumed in an atmosphere of fear and insecurity, its people’s desperation has thus been transformed towards political and economic crime for individual security and egoistic prosperity. This does not reflect the culture of family that governs the African people in their strong holds or values for peaceful growth. Where has such African community spirit values evaporated to? Can we get them back? We herein try to reexamine the impacts of former imperial colonial oppressive administration on conquered indigenous territories during the colonial period and how the indigenous elites’ post-independence political philosophies became corrupted within modern governance perspectives. It also previews regional commitments of development partners to revive hope in Africa.
