Africa has crossed swords with what a section of it has often christened “The Imperial West” and its on and off bosom buddy, China. Racism, just like the monster of tribalism in Africa, did not start with Covid-19. However, while some developed countries excelled in perpetuating the vice, Africa has made up by subjecting its very own people to tribalism. Whether it’s about skewed appointments to state agencies or admission to schools, Africa is guilty of tribal bigotry, the twin sister to racial chauvinism. No one is going to get Africa out of the woods, except itself.
