It is not right to associate the fight against international terrorist networks with an imaginary crusade against Islam.
From Omar Bongo
Do not forget that the Arab countries, starting with Algeria and Egypt, are the ones that have paid the heaviest toll because of Islamic terror.
Therefore, every country has to understand that fighting against international terrorism is not for the sake of the United States, but for the sake of themselves, and, to a larger extent, in the name of stability of international relations.
It is important to stress: Africa is also a victim of the September 11 attacks.
Because the world is in economic recession, which worsened since this drama happened, and our country will bear the burden of all of these consequences.
From the time of independences until the end of the Cold War, in spite of the participation of a considerable number of African states in the non-aligned movement, everyone in fact chose to align with one or another of the two major blocks.
Globalization, far from putting an end to power diplomacy between States, has, on the contrary, intensified it.
Instead of ideological objectives of a political nature, today we are faced with ideological objectives of economic nature.
In spite of our poverty and our economic dependence, we do not have to give in, neither because we are sometimes abandoned nor because of the wish of some nations to impose their economic or political models.
Certainly, Africa accounts for only l % of world trade, and we cannot assure our development on our own.
