Neo­colo­nial­ism, Depen­den­cy, and Devel­op­ment in Africa Africa’s strug­gle for gen­uine growth in the 21st cen­tu­ry can­not be sep­a­rat­ed from the unfin­ished busi­ness of decol­o­niza­tion. While most African states gained polit­i­cal inde­pen­dence decades ago, eco­nom­ic, cul­tur­al, and insti­tu­tion­al depen­dence on for­mer colo­nial pow­ers and glob­al inter­ests per­sists in sub­tler but equal­ly dam­ag­ing forms.

His­tor­i­cal Injus­tices Impede Polit­i­cal Tol­er­ance Kenya’s jour­ney toward demo­c­ra­t­ic matu­ri­ty has been repeat­ed­ly dis­rupt­ed by the dark shad­ow of elec­toral vio­lence.

Kenya’s Eco­nom­ic Dream to be Sin­ga­pore It is unheard of a King­dom to fan­cy its neigh­bors might while doing noth­ing to get lev­el. Worse still, it is unbe­liev­able that an elect­ed leader would promise the elec­torate heav­en while all he does is sit in the deep oceans. The ‘Sin­ga­pore Dream’, laugh­able, fun­ny or any­thing you want
