How Africa Can Control Its Trade & the Case for Colonial Reparations
“Well, it is estimated that if Africa can enjoy the free trade that we are expected to enjoy and are able to penetrate into the global market, we will not need to take loans from anybody. A one percent increase in trade in Africa, to the point that we reach out to the global world and within Africa, can support the development of Africa much more than all the loans we take in a year. So, free trade is critical. Africa's involvement in trade is paramount.”
