During a recent return to his native Senegal to perform at the World Festival of Black Arts, rapper/singer Akon spoke out about the need for Africa to unite in order to move forward and keep up with the rest of the world, reports The AFP.
“Things like this actually create the environment for us to move together as one people. The more we realize what we can do together as a unit, the further we will get as an African nation,” he said during a press conference on Thursday.
