AFRIQUE – USA – AFRICA and Said El Mansour Cherkaoui

· Oakland – Berkeley – Bay Area of San Francisco – North California ·

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa. He was delighted about my presentation that included the North and South of Sahara with Senegal as the link between the two African Regions. We also sat together and had lunch at the same table. Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank), and the setting up of a special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

For many among us, time flies through horizons without leaving traces of recognition and gratitude for what we have achieved for the good of others especially in my case not be born in the United States but I remain up to the maker of differences between cultures and the guardian of the memories I cherish and remember through my meetings and interactions with the real treasuries of the Humanity.

So to combine the useful with the pleasant, I published all these photos with first that of Africa over my shoulders. This photo dates from 2001, the year I suggested and participated in the organization of the First International Conference on Africa held in Northern California at Berkeley. Another will follow later in San Francisco in 2007.

I completed this first photo with others such as the one where the former CEO of the African Development Bank (Dr. Babacar Ndiang) was holding my hand and I was surrounded by African-American executives, one during one of my presentations and others showing a partial view of the audience.

Below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who holds firmly my right and left hand in both pictures.

On my right hand is Dr. Faheem Director of the Center for International Trade Development, on the other left side holding my hand is Dr. Boubacar N’diaye, Chairman of the African Development Bank from 1985 to 1995 and honorary chairman of the same institution (Rest in Peace among the Blessed ones, Ameen)

The African Development Bank (AfDB) will pay tribute to honor its former President, late Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, on Thursday 21 September 2017, from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm at the Bank’s Headquarters.

Under the aegis of Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, President of the AfDB, the tribute ceremony will gather high level guests including former Heads of State, former AfDB Presidents and Ambassadors among others.

Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, 5th president of the AfDB from 1985 to 1995, is known for having transformed the Bank into a “Triple A” institution, a rating it still holds today. He supported the creation of many African institutions such as the African Export-Import Bank, Shelter Afrique, the African Business Roundtable. He also played a prominent role in opening up the Bank to the private sector.

The tribute aims at celebrating the life and achievements of former AfDB President, Dr. Babacar Ndiaye who passed away on 13 July 2017.

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, [1975] the development and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase the awareness about Africa and its need to establish new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

Winning a Model of National Development Rooted in Revolutionary Doctrine with an Anti-colonial Past and History Would be a Tremendous Challenge to Uproot

During my research and presentation at Sciences Po Grenoble and since 1977-78, I have been saying that China is the Model of Development for the entire southern economies, starting with Africa as the first laboratory for implementation, more details in the next link:

The outcome of the China Model of Development took place also in the high-tech industry leading China to become one of the prominent sources of advanced technology innovation and transformation. This leap forward took place during the successive administrations of 5 Presidents of China which is unprecedented in the history of economic and tech development for a country that was considered an underdeveloped economy, a communist paria state without any capital orientation.
