Tonight I met, among others, an Austrian guy. He's done his fair share of travel and left a footprint on each continent. We got to talking about Africa. How its perceived from European and African standpoints, recurring issues and themes, the inexpicable suffering and its seemingy limitless potential.
It made me think how its up to our generation, the so called apathetic ones to make the difference. To forge a way through ethnic fractionalisation, stop blaming former colonial powers for all our current problems and start moving towards that potential. Granted I've watered down the arguments significantly, much can be said in either direction.
But we need to start seeing ourselves as the leaders of tomorrow. Put Africa first and make our mark. Who knows, one day I might just change the world...
