Conversely, to travel from Senegal to Kenya the visa has to be issued through the British embassy in Senegal. This perfect metaphor of Africa in today&#8217;s age of globalization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yes, have come a long way. We have red carpets, state houses and countries we can call our own. But still the relationships among individual African countries are mediated by the West, as is the relationship between the world and Africa as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To participate in the global economy and access the &#8220;free&#8221; market, African nations have in pay exorbitant fees in the form of cheap labour, raw materials and high consumption. But the competition promised by global capitalism only applies to rich and powerful countries. African readers also have to make commitments pro-Western standards of democracy measured by good governance, accountability and transparency &#8211; standards that Western countries themselves do not meet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In order to subvert new forms of exploitation built on those of old, we have to re-examine how national and international politics have shifted in the last half century. Crucially, the relationship of the Western state to capitalism has flipped. From the of slavery to colonialism the accumulation of capital was undertaken for the state. Capitalism was seen as serving the nation. Today the Western state serves global capitalism. For example, the involvement of the United States in Iraq has not been to protect freedom but rather to feed the military &#8211; industrial complex and American corporations. So where does Africa fit into all this?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">MUKOMA WA NGUGI<br \/>\nBBC Focus on Africa, April-June 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">Questions<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0What problem does the author raise through the acquisition of visa at the French consulate in Kenya while travelling to Mali and the fact of getting the visa to Kenya at the British embassy in Senegal?
