The New Africa

Africa has the natural resources and what it takes to be the greatest yet people still go hungry in Africa. Why do we still go hungry? It is because we depend on western countries more than ourselves. Instead of putting our brains together and utilizing the available natural resources to better the living conditions in Africa, we give these natural resources away almost free of charge.

Ivory Coast is one of the world's leading producers of cocoa beans. Children work like slaves in cocoa farms in Ivory Coast yet most of these children working like slaves in cocoa farms have not even tasted chocolate before why because Ivory Coast sells those cocoa beans at very cheap prices to foreign countries who convert the cocoa beans into chocolate and then sell these chocolates at very expensive prices to poor countries such as Ivory Coast. Those who work like slaves in the cocoa farms to produce the cocoa beans cannot even afford to buy chocolate which is very sad.

Meanwhile, if Ivory Coast imports those chocolate making machines and start producing the chocolate in Ivory Coast, they could sell these chocolates at reasonable prices to foreign countries and make more profit.

So what is the New Africa? The new Africa is the Africa of hope. The new Africa is the Africa of bigger dreams. The new Africa is the Africa whereby people depend on themselves instead of depending on foreign countries.

Africa has all it takes to be the greatest continent on earth in terms of fighting poverty and hunger. Africa has the brains and the power to do it. All we have to do is to come together as one people. The new Africa is the Africa whereby people cherish peace and prosperity more than anything else.

There is nothing good in war and tribal conflicts yet we are being manipulated and we have given in to manipulation to the point where we fight and kill our own brothers and sisters for no good reason at all.

It is time we start thinking. The new Africa I see is the Africa whereby people think for themselves. The new Africa I see is the Africa whereby people see reason. There is hunger in Africa today why because we spend precious time and energy fighting and destroying precious lives instead of putting that energy into good use.
