Today, as it did in 1571, Africa is faced with an existential crisis, the likes that threatens to culturally and economically castrate the continent once for all.
While the slave trade was overtly cruel and repugnant, this new colonial thrust into Africa is far more duplicitous and subtly disarming.
It was no less a personage than Marcus Garvey who trumpeted the call for the development of the continent through the infusion of black technocrats, educators, scientists and entrepreneurs; but never in his wildest dreams did he visualise this infusion coming from another people with a self-serving agenda that could ultimately prove ruinous for blacks around the world.
While some African leaders tout the injection of Chinese capital and expertise in the infrastructural overhaul of cities and towns, we are cautioned by academics, economists and educators against exuberance. The devil, they say, is in the detail.
