Here I was highlighting some points from the plenary keynote address of Mr. Haus J. Preuss of

the GIZ, Germany in the closing session of the Tropentag 2011 conference, Bonn, Germany. His

talk was under the title: Africa: a continent on the margin or a lion ready to pounce? He was

highlighting the positive issues in African context including: (1) the fast economic growth, (2)

population growth and urbanization, (3) agricultural potential, and (4) the abundant

resources.He tried also to stress the recent changes in the

way Africa is presented by the international media from being the home of poverty, conflict, disease, and corruption to an economic partner

who could have his say in the world political sphere and contribute to the world economy. In

my intervention, I tried to let him draw the connections between: (1) economic growth and

inequality, (2) urbanization and internal migration, and (3) using mineral resources to

enhance agriculture instead of replacing agriculture by them.
