The west is not, out of altruism, going to reverse the system of trade
that impoverishes Africa. It is Africa that must fight politically to
force the change. Why hasn't it been done before now? The answer is
that African governments have, in the past, been short-sighted and
self-centred to a degree that borders on stupidity.
The west's trade stranglehold is considered by most of us to be
murderous and immoral. Our governments may speak to the west in polite,
diplomatic terms. But Africans who know the true causes of their
continent's poverty consider the west to be part of the problem. They
are not interested in palliatives such as aid, and the humiliation of
becoming "highly indebted poor countries" reliant on charity; they
demand economic justice.
