Africans should rise to the Obama challenge

Responding to journalists questions on the historic election of Senator Barak Obama, as the first African-American President, at Urugwiro Village, yesterday, President Paul Kagame, implored Africans to rise to the challenge in solving their litany of problems, “rather than expecting him to come and solve our problems.” For sure Africans now wait eagerly for Obama, to prioritise their many afflictions, prove his patriotism and be on the next flight to the continent. The first part for us is to acknowledge that most of these problems are man-made.
