Host Manila Chan spoke with El Hadj Djitteye, President of the Timbuktu Center, about the patchwork of political instability on a continent steeped in a centuries-old French colonial past, and asks if a modern Africa can shake off its history and carve its own pathway to prosperity without the West.
