DISCUSSION The pact: How Europe underdeveloped Africa, AFS 3610, Interdisciplinary perspectives on foreign culture

Question

Study the video by Dr. Arikana Chihombori Quao, the former Permanent representative of the African Union (a pan-African organization promoting peace and economic prosperity) mission to the United States. She is a medical doctor from Zimbabwe and an activist and ardent advocate for total decolonization of the continent and reparations to African states from the colonial masters. France is one of the most reproached given the reprehensible Pact that it instituted in French-speaking (francophone) countries at the time of independence. Dr. Quao was let go of her post in 2020 because of her fiery and condemning rhetoric implicating the past colonial administrations particularly the French. 

Nick Dearden in another video cites similar political and socio-economic tropes on the African continent. Central to his arguments is what can be done to stop the looting and exploitation of the continent in this century.

Identify at least three (3) key concerns shared by Dr. Quao and stress the significance she highlights for Africa's slow progress and development. Include some of the recommendations of Dearden in support of her postulations. Do you think Dr. Quao is justified to advocate in this way or should her platform be modified?
