The playing field has changed since the West first introduced itself to Africa, starting in the 15th century. Since that time, bonds were created then broken, trust and the will of peoples violated. As the world has advanced through the era of globalization, this ever faulty foundation has also expanded in influence and impact.
The business climate, and indeed terms of business arrangements between the West and Africa, has been less than stellar deteriorating further as political upheavals spill over with rising emotions. The events unfolding in the media today reflect just how much things have fallen apart and the center can no longer hold. Yet, both the West and Africa are irreversibly connected, through commerce and cultural exchange. A resetting, rebooting of sorts, is occurring, and a reintroduction of the West to Africa, as partners with joint stake, is critical.
