Propositions of Abdoulaye Wade

So the time has come for Africans to make full use of their brains and agree to take on others, according to our strategy and tactics. Japan and the countries of Asia have set us an example, rivalling the Western countries in the most complex fields of science and the most sophisticated technologies. We can say that the aim is to apply the rules of the game to the full and win. However, in order to do so, we also need to know the basic principles of the game. In other words, the time has come for our governments to promote brain power, for the days of trials of strength with the people have passed, as the days of abuse and diatribes directed against one imperialism or another.

2. The currency issue

3. The self-financed development issue

4. The science and technology issue

5. The double planning issue

6. The infrastructure and transport link issue

7. The policy issue

8. A truce to enable contribution

9. Negro emigration

10. African- Americans
