From Lumumba to Gbagbo - Africa in the Eddy of the Euro-American Quest for Exceptionalism (Paperback)

In recent years, the Euro-American powers have made multiple armed incursions into Africa. The election of President Obama, greeted by Africans as providential for their centuries-old trouble relations with West, instead inaugurated a destructive coalition against Africans. In Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt and Libya, the United Nations, International Criminal Court, World Bank and International Monetary Fund have been involved in military intrusions, arbitrary imprisonments, deportations and political assassinations under the guise of bringing freedom and democracy to benighted Africa. The destabilization of Africa, the dividing of the continent into lawless zones controlled by thuggish warlords, the displacement of millions of refugees and the systematic sacking of Africa's resources are telling: there is no goodwill mission. This book examines the West's policy of aggression in Africa over the last 50 years as a legacy of colonialism, with human and economic costs that are radicalizing African nationalists.
