The Desperate African Naivety

This Book is an aggregate of several topics relating to various aspects of African realities in general and that of Mali in particular. It is expected to be an invitation to cogitation and debate without the pretense to deliver the absolute and plenary truth. It is my hope to see this Book stimulating awareness and interrogation regarding some attitudes and behaviors of Africans which undermine the harmonious development of their respective countries and hinder their drive toward progress. African continent not being in closed vase, it is obvious that it finds itself at the center of geopolitics and/or geostrategic stakes impacting on the fate of African countries while ultimately out of the control of Africans themselves. To this regard, this Book should rather be considered a “wake up call”, (a call for awareness and vigilance). My humble desire is to see this Book providing others perspectives of analysis contrary to different cliché commonly accepted as obviousness without anyone questioning them amongst the many individuals interested in Africa for various motives. Then, I would have achieved my goal.
