Africa is Rising! Africans need to start telling Africas story! We need to change the Narrative! Africa is not poor - Africans are! Africa has 88% of the worlds Platinum 75% of the worlds chromium 60 % of the worlds Diamonds 40% of the worlds Gold 40% of the worlds Bauxite 60% of the worlds arable land Largest labour force in the world! Africa still suffers from perception and lack of recognition! Africa is a PARTNER in addressing issues of governance, etc. Africa needs to export more and save more for a more sustainable growth. Turn more and more towards agriculture and manufacturing. The service sector is leading growth in Africa, however this does not allow for great savings. African Diaspora social capital is a massive, massive resource!! It needs to be well managed and tapped into, and have an African action of turning remittances into development and finance! Its not possible to be in two places at the same time. But Diasporans are and have always been! By Stan Luchebeleli
