UK’s Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu has criticised African nations for blaming their former colonial masters for their problems.
Sentamu said, “Europe may have underdeveloped Africa, but I believe we have had the opportunity since then to shape our future and destiny and are in danger of squandering these opportunities”.
Sentamu noted that African countries are bedeviled with corruption and lack of democracy, with several leaders amending constitutions to stay in power.
Sentamu, the only black bishop in the Church of England, is a renowned speaker against racism.
He has told young black people in the UK to stop blaming racism for their problems.
Sentamu told Black people in UK that success does not lie in guns, gangs, knives or worshiping celebrities, observing that prisons, mental health units and young offender institutions are holding up too many black people.
