@itsabiribrahim: Link 🔗 in my bio for the full version and free resources. When we describe Africa as "developing” we often frame progress as importing ideas, institutions and solutions from elsewhere. Recovery starts with a different question. What knowledge already existed? Which systems worked? What was interrupted? And what can we learn from them today? History doesn't replace innovation. It gives it foundations. Do you think "recovery" better describes Africa's future?

I agree. with her. The recovery is the right answer. We had history, it was interrupted. it is not development story.

This is exactly what Prof Litchfield meant when she said that these last few centuries were Africas Dark Ages. Prior to that we never had dark ages, ironic. We are recovering from the dark ages.

Africa needs to stop all interaction with the west. Build our own reality. Let’s get to work

We are recovering from the shock of the western invasion. The Chinese engagement may be a lot better for Africa.

As a policy person, your words resonated deeply with me. After listening, the use of the word “developing” in front of nation / economy / etc” is a severely inappropriate description and I will no longer use it. RECOVERING is exactly what our continent is experiencing

Aren't we then talking about mostly north Africa? which largely inherent a lot of knowledge from the West and Asia / Middle East? Maybe it's the ignorance. But never see someone talking about highly advanced societies below in Africa?

Interesting view but it is recovering or still being stepped on under a different form and starting to realize it? Just a thought

I think you are right but you missed the point as to what catalyst it would take to increase the recovery

Mr. Ofere Joseph :
Africa’s greatest strength has always been its ability to produce and trade. Before colonial rule, African societies built thriving regional economies by specializing in goods and exchanging them across kingdoms and regions. Communities developed expertise in agriculture, ironworking, textiles, salt, gold, leather, and other crafts, creating wealth through production rather than dependence. Today, much of that interconnected economic system has been replaced by economies that primarily export raw materials and import finished products.

Well said, but recovery and development can happen simultaneously. This is already happening simultaneously across the continent.
