To Africanize colonial and capitalist power would destroy the meaning of our struggle.

We wish to ensure that young Africans do not feel disorientated in the century in which they live.

It's obvious that the rest of the world loves high African culture - African culture, period.

In short, we have, among African countries, a duty of solidarity.

To live your life well, and have respect for what came before or after - there's a strong respect for that in African culture.

Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.

What I generally get from being in Africa is a sense of warmth and openness. As a stranger, you are always welcomed into people's homes and people are always offering you food. That generosity is incredibly touching.

The only people who can fix Africa are talented young Africans. By unlocking and nurturing their creative potential, we can create a step change in Africa's future.

If we continue doing the right things in Africa, we can create a very exciting and competitive global market here.

You may imagine the joy manifested by these poor Africans, when they heard one of their own color address them in a friendly manner, and in a language they could comprehend!
