What about the other four fingers?

Once upon a time, there was a man who was walking around his land. Proud, and accomplished. Rich beyond measure, and while he did not realize fully his potential, he walked around content. A little bit later, he is joined by visitor from another land who walked with him taking in the riches of the land. Before he knew it, the man was pushed into a hole by the visitor. He yelled for help, for the visitor to help him...but to no vail. The visitor looked down at the man's struggle, and then looked around the man's land and started stealing from the Land. He even invited some of his friends to come and take what they can. The man in the hole already, fought to be released. He tried very hard, he shouted, and yelled. The visitors did enough to keep him alive. Gave him food, even introduced him to some new items. However, instead of the man trying to get out of the hole, he kept asking for help from the visitors, and having been pacified with shiny objects, he stayed in the hole, uncomfortable, but lacking a fight.

Okay so that is a novelty of fiction...but that is my view of African history. Harsh as it might be, I think that Africa has pointed fingers long enough.
The past is never to be forgotten, but it seems that African leaders and Africans have learned to use it as a clutch. There is one or two fingers pointing to Europe, and America....whichever direction, there is at least 3 fingers, sometimes four pointing back to Africa.
Why is it that Africans are expecting the world to save them, when they are not fighting to save themselves.
Being a young African, I have and will always say that the future of Africa is in the hands of Africans. It was Frantz Fanon who said that each generation has to discover it's mission, then fulfill or botch it.
This generation of Africans, well, it is time for them to rise. And short of revolutionary call....the young generation of Africans will have to start not taking No for answer, and push themselves into progress.
The first step, will be a mind of understanding and taking responsibility for ourselves. Pointing fingers does nothing but make you a victim.
