[didier]

Even though colonialism was abusive towards Africans, how would some of you respond to those who say that colonialism did modernize the continent?

Europeans introduced things like medical and technological advancements. They brought infrastructure that much of the continent lacked. They expanded literacy in many parts of the continent. Many Africans relied on griots to memorize info. So do any of you acknowledge these advancements Europeans brought even though they came with colonialism?

youre talking about what happened, explaining what was done, thats not what we are looking for. you said education is the solution to the problems. am not trying to be like most Africans because we like attacking each other alot and we never appreciate our brothers efforts. i appreciate your work and progress so far, but i would urge to look much into current issues, like the USA's effects to Africa and the world and the main function ot the IMF and the world Bank which are intead of lening money to African and other developing countries, sucking money and resources from them..your points dont explain much about neo colonialism

African countries are not free. France might have been less subtle. This includes South Africa.

reffering to the end of the discussion:
seems to me someone didnt do his homework enough ... Dr Agbor better go back to pre-colonialism times and how africans were already big time in prgress of trading and so forth .. all this without any so called positive colonialism effects
All it has ever brought is the downfall of Africa and her ppl ...

This an insightful conversation, I am interested in the question of giving praise to any system that was introduced by colonialism. In the evolution of man and his society, is it not possible that Africans could have reached such advancements on their own strides, even with a healthy relationship of exchange with the colonisers? I feel like you are saying that colonialism is bad, but at least it brought advancements in the fields of infrastructure, medicine and the sciences.

It would help if we could get a current map of the countries in Africa that are still occupied by peoples other than Africans either physically or economically. Also a delieniation of who's raping the resources. Many people in the States think that because countries got their independence that means that Africans are free. I googled this topic today and only got those 1900 maps.

[thankyoumrsg]

But i think nationalism is also lacking in the Anglo ones its just that its perhaps less

[abdalahgunda]

[gandigooglegandigoogle]

a nice interview for a nice propaganda....we easily let ourselves be fooled.

[Anonymous-zs]

He lost me at the benefits of colonialism lol

This urbanisation he is praising has serious destructive effects on the environment. West Africa has documented stock exchange systems, indoor toilets...Egypt was even more adavanced! All whilst living in harmony with nature, understanding that we are a part of it and it a part of us! This urbanisation has created world hunger, resource depletion, pollution etc! Dont know what the gentleman is praising for real. I think what he said is a result of the erasure of our history that he's talking about.
