Un défi pour l'Afrique : essai by
Wangari Maathai(
Book
)
3 editions published in 2010 in French and held by 32 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Avec la détermination et l'enthousiasme qui la caractérisent, le Prix Nobel Wangari Maathai prône de semer des arbres autant que des idées. C'est sur le continent noir que commence cette croisade. Les Africains sont aux avant-postes de la protection de la planète. Ils ne doivent pas attendre que les gouvernements ou les agences d'aide internationale interviennent pour agir. En farouche militante pour la démocratie et pour l'environnement, Wangari Maathai exhorte la population, culturellement déracinée, â entreprendre une révolution morale pour enfin accéder â la paix et â la croissance. Elle multiplie les appels â l'action en direction des Etats, qu'elle encourage â s'unir ainsi qu'à prendre leurs responsabilités. Elle, qui jamais ne renonce, offre une perspective lumineuse sur les défis que l'Afrique doit aujourd'hui relever. Le sort de leur terre est plus que jamais entre les mains des Africains
