AFRICA IN THE GLOBALIZATION OF OTHERS

History informs us about the West's original view of Africa. A study of the key periods in their relationship notably the slave trade colonisation and even Covid-19 raises questions about the sincerity of Western development policies directed towards Africa. Indeed after colonisation which gave access without protocol to African natural resources post-colonial cooperation with Africa is now part of the continuity of an exploitation of the continent that intends to be in conformity with post-World War II international law. Africa which has failed to integrate since the birth of the OAU in 1963 is today unable to integrate to fight misery poverty and underdevelopment to confront violent extremism to study global phenomena on its own to defend its identity and to express its point of view in an original way on the international scene. It even proudly assumes its role as a stepping stone to the established powers. The Covid-19 episode would therefore have been very revealing for Africans.
