Africa Notes: Afro-realism vs. Afro-pessimism - January 1995

This issue of CSIS Africa Notes shares with our readers three of the addresses delivered by National Security Adviser Anthony Lake in the course of his visit to nine African countries in December 1994. The theme on which his presentations were centered was "Afro-realism" -a genuine acknowledgment of the difficulties facing Africa and the central role that Africans must play in their own development.
