french speaking west africa. out of the french zone. those countries like france don't want to give up that easily give up you. are going to fix operates in the same way it does not want to have strong states who operate independently and so whether. on purpose nobody i don't think was actually aiming to create slavery again that was not part of the goal the goal was to ensure that. american british and french interests. would be protected and would be continued to develop really without. a state which was saying well no we're not going to do that maybe we'll do away with china or maybe we'll deal just with ourselves and. an empire does not like that no it does not that sounds a lot like colonialism to me. in fact if you look at the title of a book that i wrote in which it's not particularly about libya but north africa longer and the new scramble for africa we are. in the process of what you could call a recon edition of africa and i'd like to mention very one of those things in the future really we have to star

north africa, maghreb and parts of sub-saharan africa all parts of a big conglomerate problem. but in attacking that you have to simultaneously build relations with the security services in those countries, work hard to increase their capabilities, work had to increase their ability to work in coordination with each other. we have done this in other parts of the world. wove done this quite successfully in southeast asia, for example. and worked internationally to coordinate, first to gain a consensus about the importance of supporting the values that we think will diminish the growth of terrorism and the policies necessary to support those values and work multilaterally to bring that to bear on a region like this. that is really hard. that is really hard. and yet i think it's the only way to go about this. and inevitability it leads you to a conclusion we're not, you know, we live on four-year cycles in this country. we need to think about this as a long-term issue that will require not just in north africa but in many parts of the world constancy of leadership and policy over

partnership he comes a permanent pain for africa. -- becomes a permanent pain for africa. let me ask you whether the summit really can make an ithentic difference, whether can break through the old ways you mentioned in your opening deliver a more equal, truly fundamental partnership for change? i am skeptical, as our people my age on the continent. we have talked about this. the average person does not know the summit is taking place. youngy are meeting about people, young people are not aware of that. how much change can they be hoping to bring the young people without the engagement of the young people? africans aren't even aware of .hese take a look at all three of the statements, i would have read isude the comments the sense if anything, relations may take a turn not for the better for the worse. it is up to the decision-makers. we are not headed for an equal partnership. african countries are not equal. o vastly als different. hana have in common? if europeans approach this explaining their interests, and interest in economic development, that is good for our busine
