COULD NEPAD INITIATIVE ACTS AS THE MAGIC WAND FOR AFRICAN RECOVERY?
All these meetings, planning and initiatives are very good news for Africa’s future. The Powers of the day are now more and more conscious that a weak and impoverished Africa, plagued with devastating diseases (Malaria, AIDS) is a threat to their own prosperity. Nepad is therefore an excellent initiative. It had first helps developed countries leaders “seeing the light”; and second it will also oblige African leaders and heads of states who are willing to take advantage from the benefits to apply good governance in their respective countries, avoid conflict-bound political decisions leading to national and regional civil wars.
