Ciudad. El desafío del municipalismo para el África del futuro
“Garantizar que los servicios relacionados con el agua y la electricidad queden en manos de los gobiernos y no sean privatizados” y “abolir el requisito de visado para los africanos que viajan de un país a otro dentro del continente” para evitar que la “restricción de los movimientos” actúe “contra la unidad africana y el progreso de sus habitantes”.
