Breaking Colonial Mindset: Africans Must Sit at the Table, Not Be Dictated by Former Colonizers — Rwanda's FM

Lingering colonial mindsets and outdated aid models are holding back Africa's economic independence, Rwanda's Foreign Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe told Sputnik Africa.

The continent must "graduate" from aid dependency and focus instead on trade and investment, he noted.
