Can This Happen In Nigeria? Is Time For Africa To Wake Up by gudnex22(m): 7:29am On Jun 25, 2013 |
After winning a free trip to France, Senegalese consultant Bousso Drame is saying "No, thank you." Drame recently penned an open letter to the French consulate in Senegal claiming she was subjected to humiliating remarks and treated with suspicion when she applied for a visa. Her trip was sponsored by the French Institute of Senegal, a government- operated cultural center, as the top prize for a French language competition. In her letter, Drame claims that her experience at the consulate is representative of the treatment received by many Senegalese people when dealing with French authorities. Here are some excerpts from the letter: It is high time for Africans to respect themselves and to demand they be respected by others. An all-expenses-paid trip, even the world’s most beautiful and enchanting one, is not worth the suffering that my fellow citizens and myself endure from the French Consulate. As a matter of coherence with my own value system, I have, therefore, decided to renounce that offer, despite being granted a visa. Renounce symbolically. Renounce in the name of those thousands of Senegalese who deserve respect, a respect they are being denied within the walls of these French representations, and on Senegalese soil moreover.
