After having been stunned by untold evils making the order of each
day in Africa, and particularly in his country, Alfani was
compelled to address this in the form of a book. The ideas he
suggests to alleviate the situation is what he regards as
alternative strategies to develop a crumbling continent. Alfani
believes that development should be given priority. He laments that
most of the continent's resources are misused by a handful of
citizens and dumped in the most worthless personal luxuries and
expenditures such as civil and religious wars. About HIV/AIDS in
Africa, he simply but firmly says that no matter how complicated
the disease can be, the chance is that it can be reversed if
there'll be a systematic paradigm shift in people's minds. From the
experience of land reform in Zimbabwe as well as severe hunger
caused by extremely low rate of food production in many African
states, he scoffs the continent's inability to invest in the land.
He also blames contemporary African leaders for their reluctance to
embrace the breeze of development, and accuses politicians of
treating ordinary citizens cheaply. In this book, he offers a
simple definition of the word "development" when he equates it to a
walk from where people have been getting delayed to where they
would like to be. For Africa, this means joining other continents
or even taking an extra mile. On the other hand, he warns his
readers not to take his book as a compilation of some absolute
"do's" but to consider it as a guide or help. The implementation of
his suggestions is absolutely a personal issue. Alfani's book is
not only engaging but also informative.
