1. Tsitsitsi π. Gentrumen, all your mineral resources are priced by organizations outside the African continent. You can't even sell each other oil for fuel, you don't even have a continental research entity to build the Africa that you want.

2. You all fund secret spies to track activists abroad and where possible kill them but fail to send those spies to learn about how pretty nations have succeeded. When the globe looks at you, they see that all some of you want is to be called President.
3. So they will help you oppress your own whilst they get what they want. You'll use money given to you by them to entrench cults of personality and not cults of development because your goals are all local. You don't threaten the global order in any way.
4. You use their offshore financial systems to obscure your loot from your own people but to them you are naked. They know which assets and where you have them so now, today you think you can form a currencyπ
5. Where is the African body that determines the value of gold? The country that is supposed to lead the continental free trade area is the same country that wants African foreigners sent back to their nations.
6. Your goals, for now should be, building toilets and ensuring safe supply of clean drinking water. Make it your 50yr plan though it can be done in 5yrs...for you, exception has to be made, half of the money you'll loot and give your clan and harems.
7. Let's talk about health, how about we start there, fund your own health care. Have a continental plan to standardize health facilities in Africa, stop going after the lofty currency issues, deal with squatter camps you conceal in your glossy tourism pictures.
8. Let's not rush to the big things of trying to threaten global order. We are not there, how about we fund treatment of malaria, HIV, roundworm, microfilariasis, bilharzia, TB etc. You want to stop using Euro and USD but you abdicate looking after your own people!
9. Rather than spend millions trying to suppress and maim people, invest those millions in sending people to learn about world systems in different countries and build a continental plan to develop. Stop trying to dress up in designer suits when you have no underwear!
10. The reason we are behind is that the things we want to do today ought to have been done 30 years ago.
