Biography of Sanou Mbaye, author of the book: “L’ Afrique au secours de l’Afrique”

A pan-Africanist, Sanou Mbaye advocates overcoming nationalist and ethnic confinement so that the solidarity of the peoples of the continent and those of his diaspora can flourish. It is through this breeding ground that Africans will draw strength and hope to reclaim their identity, which has been undermined by centuries of domination. Fifty years after independence, to achieve full realization, Africa can and must wake up.
