"Discussing Africa's political dysfunction and problems as analogues of American (or global) ones or as part of some broader global uniform problem of democracy and governance is something I have no patience for, but you know this about me already since we have disagreed on this point (conflation and the universalization of African problems) on a slew of issues in the past. I want African problems to retain their African identities and peculiarities and provoke discussions not encumbered by or subsumed in global forces and problems. We can disagree on this as always."
