Re-Examining Africa's Economic Burden
Esibi, John 韓國아프리카學會 韓國外國語大學校 아프리카연구소 공동 1989 한국아프리카학회지 Vol.4 No.2
With the recent election of Tanzania's Deputy Prime Minister, and Defence Minister, Salim Ahmed Salim, as the OAU current Secretary-General, it is to be hoped that the countinent might now tick than ever before. A former Permanent Representative for his country at the UN, Salim Salim, is not a new comer to the continent's pressing problems. He is perhaps the best candidate for the job, for Salim Salim is quite capable of speaking for the continent at the international forums, including the UN. Incidentally, it has been argued elsewhere that Salim Salim might use the OAU's high office to campaign for the UN's top post of Secretary-General. If that assertion is correct, Salim Salim is very capable of doing just that. Gone is the time when Africa with its exploited natural resources, woke up to take up its position in the fast developing world. Africa can no longer afford being referred to as "the dark continent". Utilised properly, Africa's untaped natural resources could significantly contribute towards the survival of mankind the world over. The citizens of Africa can be excused if they are nursing "a day dream" expecting the day when the continent's independenent states will a dopt a political resolution enacting what could one day be known as the "UNITED STATES OF GREAT AFRICA" (USGA)! It is a dream which might take long to be realised. But one which is not entirely impossible.
EX-COLONIZATION&SLAVERY: AFRICA TOO DESERVES REPARATIONS
Esibi,John 韓國아프리카學會 韓國外國語大學 아프리카 硏究所共同 1998 한국아프리카학회지 Vol.10 No.-
With the recent apology by the US President Bill Clinton to Africa regarding ex-slavery activities, the African continent should now formally demand to be paid full economic reparations which ought to include its ex-colonial distress, from all those European countries that participated in this dreadful human trade, including America and Arabia. Besides, Africa should also demand an equivocal formal apology from apology from the concerned countries.
INTELLECTUAL LINGUISTIC NEO IMPERIALISM IN AFRICA
JOHN ESIBI 한국외국어대학교 아프리카연구소 2001 한국아프리카학회지 Vol.13 No.-
Ex-colonial and slavery languages as English, Afrikaans, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, German, Spanish, Russian, and many more others, may be still good in the present Global circumstances so long as they are sparingly being used for the purpose of international communication and the promotion of peace and understanding among world nations. However, when such ex-colonial languages still continue being used snobbishly in suppression, domination and even the destruction of other existing local dialects, then, it defeats the whole purpose. What we may be having in such a case then, is neo-colonialism leading to modern slavery. In other words, a fresh case of intellectual imperialism and mind control, if not brain genocide. The problem here is: Where do you begin drawing the line? In other words, to what extent do you permit the usage of such foreign languages to flourish unchecked in a given region other than in their traditional native home, to assume the communication role among the local people? When do you realize that their excessive use by the local people (other than the native speakers.) has in fact, not only intruded on their privacy, but also betrayed their civil liberty? To what extent does a foreign language continue pretending to be playing an international communication role only and not in fact, to be mind controlling the local people using it? Take the English language for instance. It may be probably okay, for this most powerful language in the world to be exclusively used for domestic, as well as for international communication purposes in such places like the USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and in some provinces of Canada without causing a major conflict of interest culturally. In fact, English as a sole communication language is already causing havoc to some races in certain states in America and Canada. Some communities in America are agitating for the introduction of their respective mother tongues such as Spanish. In Canada, some provinces would prefer using French, as their lingua franca, depending on the attitude of majority original settlers there. In America, the Latino American community is pushing for the introduction of Spanish language as their mother-tongue, to be declared official language along with English in the US.
