Lumumba's Africa

Being Friday, I could view 'Lumumba's Africa', my favourite programme on Russia Today TV Channel. In today's episode, Prof Lumumba explained how the French Government is still continuing to dominate African countries. 

(There are a few advantages like oases in deserts in colinisation. For example, I could attend French language classes at the Alliance Francais in Gaborone twice a week, wrire the qualifying exam for Certificate of Proficiency and obtain the Certificate without much difficulty. I and my friends could attend the classes in the evening after school. Gaborone was about an drive from my place of residence, thanks to the highway and my reliable Toyota Corolla 1.3L. I wish that such advantages continue and disadvantages sorted out).
