President William Ruto has watered down misconceptions about Africa, saying the continent is an opportunity to be harnessed as opposed to being undermined, and Kenya stands as a major gateway.
Ruto regretted yesterday that Africa far too long, Kenya/Africa and Europe’s relationship has been seen as a problem to be managed, which is never the case, and called for a paradigm shift in Kenya-Belgium ties.
“Africa is an opportunity to be harnessed; it is not part of the problem the world is trying to solve. On the defining challenges of our time, food, energy, climate, or democracy, Africa is in fact the largest part of the solution. Consider what the continent holds: abandoned natural resources, vast clean energy potential, two-thirds of the world’s remaining arable lands, and the youngest population,” he said.
