The following quote by the president of Benin, Thomas Yayi Boni, may be of interest (rough English translation follows):
"Le continent africain n'est pas n'importe quel continent. Il est encore riche, il est vierge, il est plein de ressources, il a besoin de se valoriser et de valoriser ses langues et naturellement de retenir ses cadres pour le bonheur de son peuple." [...du script de l'émission le « Talk de Paris », diffusée le vendredi 16 février à 19h10 sur FRANCE 24. http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/presseafricaine/message/10789 ] "The African continent is not just any continent. It is still rich, it is virgin, it is full of resources, it needs to value itself and to value its languages and naturally to retain its structures for the wellbeing of its people." Yahoo!
