We in Africa
Towers of Babel
"We, in Africa, have unfortunately been building
over the past few decades several Towers of Babel:
The tower of lies
The tower of bribery
The tower of tribalism
The tower of hedonism
The tower of corruption
The tower of intolerance
The tower of power-drunkenness
The tower of arrogance and pride
The tower of religious dogmatism
The tower of political fanaticism
The tower of nepotism and favouritism
The tower of hostility and brutality
The tower of senseless fratricidal wars
in short, the tower of sheer iniquity!
These are the towers that we must ruthlessly demolish,
if the African is to be human."
Peter Sarpong - Bishop of Kumasi, Ghana
