INTRODUCTION
What comes to our minds when we hear the word leader? For most of
us, it is the picture of someone who occupies a position, especially in
government.
In terms of natural resources, Africa is the world's richest continent. It has 50% of the
world's gold, most of the world's diamonds and chromium, 90% of
the cobalt, 40% of the world's potential hydroelectric power,
65% of the manganese, millions of acres of untilled farmland, as well as other natural resources. Despite its natural wealth, Africa
is home to the world's most impoverished and abused
people. African leaders are quick to blame the legacy of
colonialism, others accuse its neo-colonial dimension, and some others pose culture,
climate and bio-geographic factors as the explanation to
the ?why? of the African problems.
