How would you imagine Africa in 2008? Same as 2007? In perpetual war? Another famine somewhere? Maybe you can envision a renewed push toward modernisation and development? Whatever your outlook on Africa in 2008, in the grand scheme of things the year will go by so quickly, it would be as if it did not count.
The real question here should really be where we all see Africa in 2015? In 2020? 2030? How about mid-century in 2050? These are the dates and time periods within which we will witness real changes. However the changes we want to see are what we need to focus on.
In order to make an impact Africa; this meaning government and citizens alike; needs to be planning for the long-term, over long enough periods to put our plans into action and each play our parts. Maybe 2008 needs to be the 'Year of futurology in Africa'?
Looks like it might be time to start dreaming...
