In the history books, they wrote that they went to "civilize" the "heathens." To the Africans it was exploitation. The Europeans partitioned Africa into different colonies to make their exploitation safe and secured. They indoctrinated the minds of the Africans with European ideologies, and created artificial boundaries among indigenous com munities. To have a general idea on the European economic intentions in Africa, one should * 1 ! - - J J A. _ look DacK at wnai mey aia 10 , the continent of the New World > which resulted in the American Revolution.

The outposts were linked by roads wide enough for the transportation of raw materials from the hinterlands to the coast. With the attainment of indenendence hv the African countries, road transportation increased sharply and the old colonial built roads became "deathtraps" and not highways. The Bible forbids putting new wine in old skins, warning that they would burst. This shows that old and outdated roads should not be expected to serve modern transportation. Today the Africans are beginning to build better roads for themselves, such as the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway under construction, to mention just one. These better road communications are beginning to cross national frontiers in the spirit of brotherly African unity. Tne same spirit brought about the formation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU), The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and The East Letters to the editor or cc are the opinions of those autl position of The Gamecock. i1 r )T~Aa -ON i < > <vvJ| 1 A^nElDS v?>0. ill &> 1 w\ < [Iff you graduate within the J itime to apply for Peace Coi ([VISTA assignments in the t ] [with degrees in math, sciei I services, health fields, law \ Get an application from th 4 [sign up for an interview.

The Africans are beginning to seek cooperation with thpir brothers across thp artificial boundaries created by colonization. This is why we have international routes, like the Tan-Zam Railway, which links Tanzania and Zambia. There is a proposed West A f LlircKufOi/ tirViirtU tarill /AlIUcMI I llf^nwd Y wmcu will link Nigeria with her sisters along the West Coast of Africa. SOME YEARS AGO Nigeria and Kenya agreed in principle of build a Trans-African Highway from Lagos (the capital of Nigeria) on the Atlantic Coast to Mombasa (a Kenyan city) on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The Highway is to pass through other African states starting from Lagos through Cameroon, Central African Republic, Zaire, Uganda and end in Mombasa. It shall be modern in all terms, and is needless to enumerate all the benefits Africans and nonAfricans will derive from such a gigantic cooperation.

Such reduction will surely make it convenient to travel and do international business without mucn aao. it should be added that the building of such a road and the relaxation of frontier laws will promote tourism, which a country like Kenya depends upon heavily for foreign exchange.

To those of you who think that the Africans are doing nothing to unite themselves or that traveling in Africa is hazardous. iust keen vour fingers crossed. You may one day decide to re-discover the continent for yourself and you may find it necessary to drive from Lagos to Mombasa with love. ?hHH tig jsjfc | ?? i 5th Week1-^?1 iHHBHKSBHBBBWSl AT t:?S B . .
