Important Points From Speech:
African countries need to quit depending on foreign aid.
“We can no longer continue to make policy for ourselves, for our country on the basis on whatever support the western world or France or the European Union can give us,”
“We have to get away from this mindset of dependency,”
“Our concern should be what do we need to do in this 21st century to move Africa away from being cap in hand and begging for aid, for charity, for handouts. The African continent when you look at its resources, should be giving monies to other places…We need to have a mindset that says we can do it…and once we have that mindset we’ll see there’s a liberating factor for ourselves,”
