Dear critical-reader, now full of abundant self-belief, the New Africa fears no one - and, what is even more interesting, nothing now frightens her, either, lol. The bald truth, today, is that Africa can no longer be marginalised and made a mockery, of, by the arrogant wealthy nations of the Global North, lol. Africa now wants to be dealt with on her own terms. Full stop.
So what exactly has Mama Africa got up her sleeve, dear critical-reader?
According to Google: "The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement will create the largest free trade area in the world measured by the number of countries participating. The pact connects 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) valued at US$3.4 trillion. 27 Jul 2020."
The days of being a globally mocked begging-bowl-diplomacy superpower, are over for good, thank goodness, lol.
Unfortunately, much like France, most of the wealthy nations of the Global North, still don't realise that the old Africa they used to mock and exploit in ruthless fashion, no longer exists, lol. Soon, however, one after the other, they will soon wake up to that new reality, which is the metaphorical New Africa.
It is at that juncture, dear critical-reader, that they will each come face to face with their worst nightmare, turned to harsh on-the-ground-reality: An Africa that can neither be bullied nor cajoled - because, now full of abundant self-belief, she fears no one, and, even more worrying for her many secret enemies, nothing now frightens her, she fears absolutely no one, and, above all, now wants to be dealt with on her own take-it-or-leave-it terms. Full stop. Case closed. Yooooooooo...
