Sentiment is meaningless; the only thing that actually matters is policy. What do I mean by this? No African Nation has embarked on a program of truly independent economic growth.
I would like to see Africans Nationalise their natural resources and sell them at international prices (through collective bargaining) in exchange for critical and strategic technologies instead of dollars. 
The economic 'interdependence' model that the West speaks of is merely a euphemism for their continued economic dominance. 
Nations, regions and continents should develop their own analogues to SWIFT, payment systems (like Mastercard) and critical technologies and pharmaceuticals. 
I would love to see an Africa in which obstacles and traitors to economic independence in Government are systematically removed and replaced by patriotic trained specialists in Sovereignty affirming economics.
