Editor,Sure, you are right; Agaciro should be extended not only to DRC but to the rest of Africa as well. Many African people are waiting for free donations from others. This kind of mentality is enslaving. One should be looking for hard work and creativity.
Editor,Sure, you are right; Agaciro should be extended not only to DRC but to the rest of Africa as well. Many African people are waiting for free donations from others. This kind of mentality is enslaving. One should be looking for hard work and creativity.That is how the developed countries have done it and we can do it as well. We have to believe that we can. All we need to do is to invest in science, technology and our people. In fact most of the inventions have already been done; we only need to copy and paste.This can only be done by the correct leadership like the one we have in Rwanda. Unfortunately, most leaders in Africa do not want to be self supporting; they want free cash money from donors. They have no vision for Africa.This has to change. Africa is very rich and if well organised and managed, can actually be a donor to other parts of the world. Imagine, the beautiful God given weather, the abundance of mineral resources, the abundance of natural fresh water sources, all year round sunshine and yet all rendered useless by mismanagement and dependency. We need leaders who can put things straight and give Africans Agaciro.Justin M Rwema, Kigali(Response to the article, ‘DRC could gain from Agaciro’, The New Times, October 1)
