Définition de "Mama Afrika" L'Afrique, apparemment terre originaire de la vie et de l'humanité, devient de plus en plus terre de souffrance et de misère. De ce grand Continent, l'Occident ne reçoit que bruits de guerre et de tribulations, de famine, de génocide et de désolation. On discute, on en parle dans les grandes assemblées, mais les enfants d'Afrique continuent leur calvaire. Ils crient leur désespoir et leur envie de vivre a tous ceux qui, ici ou ailleurs, ont des oreilles pour entendre et un cœur pour comprendre. -Gabriel T. Guillaume Definition of “Mama Afrika" Africa, apparently the original land of life and humanity, becomes more and more the land of suffering and misery. Of this vast continent, the West receives nothing but sounds of war and of tribulations, of famine, of genocide and of desolation. We discuss and speak of it in large assemblies, but the children of Africa continue their ordeal. They cry their desperation and strong will to live to all those, here and abroad, who have ears to hear and a heart to understand.
