On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, Multikulti-Integrationsverein Roding e.v, planned an event package with Prof. Jean-Emmanuel PONDI, a high-ranking researcher from Cameroon; expert in political science and international relations. The objective of the lectures was to present the African continent to an audience that obviously has a very restricted insight into the realities concerning that part of the world. The aim was to provide realistic description and analysis of the problems faced by Africa. The important assets present on the continent were highlighted, as it is not well known or understood on the international scene. The undeniable richness of Africa in natural resources were equally stressed and linked to its history, culture and future perspectives. What Africa really needs today is objective and win-win partnership in all domains, rather than compassion and pity, as well as the recognition of its home grown talents and creativity, in place of permanent attempts to impose inappropriate solutions to its genuine challenges.
