A reader and contributor to Gainako has an interesting perspective on Dr.
Jallow's great article titled "Redefining Africa" . Dr. Samuel Artley
looked at Africa's status from a different angle. He is with the opinion
that Africa's design is flawed and may have been intentionally made so to
ensure that African states fail or are only able to achieve minimal
temporal success. He argued that only African Unity and redesign of the
system can make Africa successful..

I find this position very interesting and make me look beyond Africa on how
colonial powers designed many other nations or continents they colonized.
Were these designs intentional to create a permanent division and tension
among regional states example, Asia pacific; Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China
etc or Latin America...interesting... read the full article at:

Questions that comes to mind: Isn't Africa still surely responsible for
discovering that in fact its design is flawed and should do something to
fix the problem or find a solution to make progress despite the flawed
design or has the damage been permanently made and cannot be revised?

Note that Dr. Jallow's article in fact did touch on how the Colonialists
partitioned Africa into small states thus creating some of the problems Dr
Artley highlighted..

What do you think?

Happy thanksgiving in advance and the Jallow's, Nyanchos & Sereres watch
the turkey please...

Thanks
