The resurgence of Africa that we are finishing will shake many politico-economic theories and practices in Africa. From the outset, Doctor Assani FASSASSI marks the route: Before adopting a development program in Africa today, it is necessary to know correctly how Africa, which was wealthy and developed until the 15th century, became so poor and so underdeveloped at present. Know everywhere what made the domination of blacks by whites possible. The author demonstrates how the development of Africa is only possible on the basis of an intelligent but clear break with the administrative, cultural, economic and monetary system of Europe. Because, much more than slavery and colonization, it is this European system, introduced into Africa and imposed on Africans, which today constitutes the main factor and vector of underdevelopment.

This book proposes FOUR IMPERATIVES AND TWENTY EMERGENCY MEASURES TO SAVE AFRICA. The current economic and monetary system is the best mechanism for ruining, every day more, everything that Africa produces, everything that Africa possesses and contains in terms of human and non-human resources... African Heads of State and the elites who in 1994 solicited foreign investments and MARschall PLAN for AFRICA must now realize that they are soliciting for their children and for themselves a colonization which will be more cruel and more devastating than that which the Africa had lived and is currently living... Moreover, who, or what would prevent investors from stuffing Africa further with BHOPAL, CHERNObil , and other highly toxic polluting factories...?

Dr. Assani FASSASSI explains how the blockage and underdevelopment come mainly from the fact that Africa has lost power. That is to say , the possibility of setting the direction of development according to the needs (cultural and economic) of Africans themselves. He proposes practical modalities which will allow Africans to recover this lost Power .
