Africa is participating in globalization in the same way as other continents. It does not lack assets to be a spur for progress and development: a vigorous and young demographic, mineral and energy wealth, a middle class that consumes, sustained growth. But it does not benefit from it to the extent of its wealth for reasons that are both internal, this continent is constantly made precarious by violent conflicts, terrorism and endemic corruption, but also and above all, according to the majority of African observers, even Western ones, because this continent is not the protagonist of its destiny. According to Pope Francis, during a recent trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa would still suffer the deleterious effects of "unbridled economic colonialism". The drastic structural adjustments of the IMF, the World Bank and other WTO, the pressures of China, Russia, Europe, the plundering of resources, the support for dictators, the interference in internal affairs are incriminated in a jumble. In short, Africa seeks to conquer legitimate sovereignty to act in the face of the economic, social, climatic and strategic issues that agitate the planet.

Far from the tangle of these continuous images, Emile Malet invites us to look at current events differently... with the help of eclectic minds, without ideological ruts to better understand these ideas that govern the world.
