THEone of the great misfortunes of Africa in addition to the endemic famine due in particular to a colonial history but not only but also to leaders who perpetuate the colonial order for their benefit, while taking the precaution of being dubbed by their former masters, is a new form of remote enslavement where the African works for others but is unable to meet his needs. Could it be that because it has not yet "entered into history" where is it an atavism, even a curse? We already know about the plundering of raw materials from the soil and subsoil of Africa, in particular energy and rare metals such as coltran which is used in communication technology (computer, mobile phones, etc.). This coltran is sold a hundred times its price by intermediaries without law or faith to Western multinationals very discreet about this new trade far more abject than the historic trade of these same civilizers in a land of conquest and evangelization of these barbarian peoples who were to necessarily affected by the gospel in the name of the "rule of the three Cs". Christianization, commerce, colonization.
In this contribution, we will talk about a new colonization, a true post-colonialism which perpetuates the consenting exploitation of the native by non-natives who have come to make the most of the African land to feed the new colonists from a distance.
The grabbing of agricultural land in Africa by foreign states and multinationals has been denounced several times, notably in February 2011 in Dakar, on the occasion of the World Social Forum, by the NGO Actionaid.
The great success of the enemies of Africa is to have corrupted the Africans themselves. Frantz Fanon
