Africa needs to stop blaming colonization for it´s problems. Sure, bad things happened in the past. Well...get over it and improve your future.
Armando Guebuza, President of Mozambique, said exactly that at a conference in Tanzania yesterday. Here´s the full article. I´m glad to see that he has that attitude. He wants to build technical schools throughout Mozambique to give citizens a skill that can help build the country. However, before anything remarkable can happen, Africans everywhere need a "change of attitude."
Read the whole article for yourself, it's inspiring:

Decolonizing implies both undoing and putting a stop to the causes and effects of oppressive and violent systemic practices. To say that poverty is colonized demands evidence to show that oppressive and violent systemic practices have as their goal to keep people in poverty.
