Lumumba's Africa

Being Friday, RT TV Channel telecast it's weekly episode of Lumumba's Africa. In this episode, Prof Lumumba explained how the term 'Globalization' coined by Western countries is meaningless without including African countries. I can understand what he means as a professional who has worked on Gender Mainstreaming issues at the Cambodian Ministry of Education. Prof Lumumba mentioned authors such as Chinua Achebe. I have seen the enormous popularity of Mr Achebe's books such as 'Things Fall Apart' not only in his native Nigeria but also in other parts of Africa. 

Africa is a colourful continent.
