Africa is on the rise.

I'm not pessimistic about Africa. The cities just seem big and hopeless. But there's still a great green heart where there's possibility. There's hope in the wilderness.

Africa has been troubled for a long time - well, the world has been troubled ever since I was born.

Africa is a continent that provides so much for the existence of the rest of the world. We go around the world and cultivate so many things.

The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.

Africa will thrive.

You see, Africa makes a fool of our idea of justice. It makes a farce of our idea of equality. It mocks our pieties. It doubts our concern. It questions our commitment. Because there is no way we can look at what's happening in Africa, and if we're honest, conclude that it would ever be allowed to happen anywhere else.

There is always something new out of Africa.
