Chocolate: A Taste of Independence in Togo Filmmaker: Fanny BouteillerAfrica is rich with natural resources, yet all too often the benefits of that abundance end up with overseas consumers, foreign investors and the international markets.This is often seen as the consequence of a post-colonial globalised economy, in which the rich somehow keep getting richer and the poorest, denied the full fruits of their labours, are kept in penury.It is also a state of affairs with which many on the continent are understandably deeply unhappy. They want more than the scraps the developed world leaves on the table.In Togo, West Africa, one such struggle now comes covered in chocolate.Over 60 percent of the population of Togo lives in poverty, with its cacao growers - producers of one of the country's main cash crops - helpless in the face of prices set by international buyers.But one man is advocating a new future for his country, through indigenous chocolate production."When we launched the plan of manufacturing chocolate, lots of people did not believe us. Most made fun of us. People said we were mad."Trained in Italy, Komi Agbokou is a chocolatier, activist and, increasingly, an anti-globalisation evangelist.He has recently returned to Togo with one mission: to incite his fellow citizens to turn their cacao into chocolate themselves rather than being forever exploited by the international market.Komi explains that current cacao prices are decided by "those who transform cocoa", forcing local farmers to sell their produce for prices over which they have no control.On a 600km (373-mile) trip from North to South Togo, Komi set out to change attitudes, teaching his countrymen to maximise their produce's worth for their own benefit.--- Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera - Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/

Great panel discussion in the aftermath of the Watts uprising exploring the future of America, the successes and failures of the Civil Rights movement and the need for financial empowerment in addition to integration. As Floyd McKissick discusses ay 37:15 , the Civil Right's movement only benefited the Talented Tenth. The uprising s were a reflection of Revolution. Selection from the 6th annual Philadelphia Public Service Conference sponsored by Group W, whose theme was "The Unfinished American Revolution : Crisis in Black and White." Liner Notes:Racial conflict is one of the most urgent problems of urban America. Unlike the other dilemmas of the city -water and air pollution, inadequate transportation, growing slums, overtaxed educational facilities, increas­ing crime, and others--the racial problem seems to be the least sensitive to immediate or lasting cures.This was the prevailing view point of a distinguished panel of experts w ho addressed the 350 delegates in attendance at the Philadelphia Con­ference, the sixth such meeting held under Group W sponsorship to ex­plore new concepts in radio and television public service programming.Using the theme, ''The Unfinished American Revolution” Crisis in Black and White,"" the panelists who discussed the racial problems included J. Alfred Cannon, M.D., Associate Director, Division of social and Community Psychiatry, School of Medicine, University of California at Los Angeles ;"Major General George M.

Construire la communauté : de nouvelles traditions
Building community : new traditions

Lauréat du Global Award for Sustainable Architecture 2009

D’abord charpentier, Francis Kéré a pu quitter le village de Gando pour étudier l’architecture à l’Université de Berlin grâce à l’ONG allemande BMZ. Il y enseigne maintenant, selon les règles d’un rationalisme régénéré par l’écologie. À Gando, il construit une architecture tout aussi rationnelle et inventive, nourrie de culture globale et d’intelligence des situations.
Car de Berlin à Gando, il n’importe plus rien sans raison. Il utilise lucidement la mondialisation et place désormais sa culture sur le même plan que celle de l’Occident en puisant dans l’expérience africaine enfin reconnue, comme dans l’écologie européenne. Il assemble, tamise ces ressources pour chaque projet, cherche la juste réponse. Cette critique globale des savoirs est neuve. Elle produit une architecture enracinée dans son microcosme et universelle par son message.

Trained as a carpenter, Francis Kéré obtained with the help of BMZ, a German NGO, a scholar ship to study architecture at T.U. in Berlin. He lives between Burkina Faso and Germany.
In Berlin, he teaches his students green architecture. In his village of Gando, he builds amenities and schools, all with the same rationality, economy and sober lines, reflecting the truth of the process and of the resources, considering African knowledge on building as valuable as those coming from Europe.
He doesn’t import eco-construction but transpose the principles: a clever use of globalization. The skills of local masons and metalworkers are employed. Materials found all over Africa are transformed into strong structures, with fine shapes. Francis Kéré believes that stakeholders need to be involved in the development process so that they can appreciate its advantages and drive it forward. “And that is equally true for architecture.”

Although Amanda Bojang knew she had great potential to do great, she had to fight the subliminal negative indoctrination in the UK that said she could not accomplish anything of any significance. But after visiting the Gambia her destiny started to take shape. Today, when she looks at what she has accomplished with her Gambian husband and says she still has to pinch herself.

We hope her story will inspire you to contribute towards the rebuilding of the continent of African and at the same time realise the great potential that you have inside of you.
