I wish Africa was ruled by such focused women, or maybe just have 5 of them in my mother continent. Listen to this video. Quote::: And with Africa facing new challenges - from Ebola to extremists opposed to girls education - she is vocal in her criticism of Western depictions of the continent. Do you think everybody in Africa has Ebola? she asks on Talk to Al Jazeera. We didnt invent Ebola. Its just a disease that exists there. Like, are we going to be blamed for inventing malaria too? If there is an Ebola outbreak in the Western world, will the media in the West treat it the same way? She also expressed her frustration with the way Western media portray Africa as a continent steeped in violence, victimhood and corruption. A success story in Africa doesnt interest any media, she says. They are so eager and hungry for horrible stories from Africa. Why? It looks like the West is the hyena, feeding on the misery of the African people. They should be ashamed doing this. aljazeera/programmes/talktojazeera/2014/11/angelique-kidjo-africa-isn-just-diseases-2014112813420950185.html
