About this listen

 This is the story of Africa in the coming decades, with corruption and greed at the helm. In the original Long Walk, the rules of this deadly game, and the basics of survival, are simple enough. Hint 13 for example warns contestants to conserve energy (read resources) whenever possible. And Hint 10 goes something like – “Save your wind. If you smoke ordinarily, try not to smoke on the Long Walk”. And the primary rule of all: when you receive four warnings for slowing down below the minimum speed, you will be shot. The Walk is organized, managed and supervised by an army major, who has been described as a “socially-approved sociopath”. The good citizens of the world watch it all on TV. The situation in Africa today is like the Long Walk amplified many times. It is prime-time reality TV playing out on your television screens. And this early in the game, a number of contestants have already been wasted who failed in the basic survival strategies – wasted as in shot in the head. Hint 3: Nothing gives you blisters faster than wearing sneakers [read ostentation and reckless spending] on a Long Walk. Africa’s Long Walk is a hard-hitting commentary on the gross mismanagement that defines Africa today, and the apathy, indifference, and hopelessness – and the society-supported descent into “democratic” despotism. The author offers some tips how to fix the odds in favor of the African contestants in this grueling walk to death – or freedom. Africa Politics & Government
