The Obama advices about African’s challenges

 

This is a speech pronounced to the Ghanaian parliament in 2009 by Barack Obama.

The context: As President, it was his first trip in a sub Saharan African’s country. The choice of Ghana was justifying by the fact, Ghana is considered like an African democratic and development model. Through this speech he wanted to underline his view and especially the way that Africa must take to the development. Although this speech has been pronounced in Ghana, but really his target was  to speak to all Africa and give  some advices. Obviously, he focused his speech on some important words like: Africa – Democracy- Opportunity – Health and the peaceful Conflict resolution 

First, he considers:”Africa as a fundamental part of our interconnected world”, but African people must work hard to improve their situation and resolve all African crisis. Secondly, he recognized the fact,” Ghanaian people worked hardly to put his democracy on a firmer footing”. In the same way, he argued:” Africa doesn’t need strongmen, it needs strong institutions”. For moving forward, Africa should apply good Governance because development depends on it and it’s a good way to struggle against corruption to create opportunity for all. He said: “No country is going to create Health if its leaders exploit the economy to enrich themselves”.

 Finally, in spite of the fact, there are only conflicts in few countries, he argued that:” African’s diversity should be a source of strength, not a cause of division”and“any faith or culture shouldn't condone the violence against women and child”
