Why has it been that since independence, while Africa was training or having trained educated elites in batches and the post-independence decades were proclaimed \"development decades,\" the gap between Africa and the developed world has continued to widen, as the wealth gap, which was a ratio of 35 in 1960, has grown to 86, almost triple in 2005. What factors have contributed to the widening of this gap?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Founding Fathers, including Kwame Nkrumah, Modibo Keita, Ahmed Sékou Touré, Ruben Um Nyobè, Emery Patrice Lumumba, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, Kenneth Kaunda, and Pixley ka Isaka Seme, shared the same vision even before meetings and congresses brought them together. Was it by chance? Or because they drew their inspiration from the same deep roots? Why, in particular, is their extraordinary integrity so rare nowadays?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFaced with the urgent need to restore Africa's trampled dignity, has the time not come to identify the various and growing paralyzing burdens that Africa has had to drag and still drags along its path? And, taking the opportunity of the ongoing evolution towards a more multipolar world, Africans establish a new paradigm that will allow for the construction of new societal tools and, above all, foster in the new generations a critical mass of actors to carry on the legacy of the Founding Fathers and make it flourish? The values of Africanity will likely be the thread that allows us to weave the fabric of a new, redeeming paradigm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Marie Sindayigaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45461821227184,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/61ETo95M1nL._SL1499.jpg?v=1784255239","url":"https:\/\/www.umojabooks.com\/products\/africa-will-be-reborn-the-values-of-africanity-ubuntu","provider":"Umoja House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
