In the backdrop of the murder of a of Congolese student here last week, the Ghanian envoy to India today read out a moving poem depciting the struggles of Africa.
Samuel Panyin Yalley, Ghanian Ambasaddor, read out the poem 'Here my cry O Africa' just before the start of the cultural event organised by Indian Council for Cultural Realations (ICCR).
ICCR had organised an event India-Africa: Bound Together which was attended by several heads of African diplomatic missions in India.
As a mark of respect to the Congolese student Masonda Ketada Oliver who was killed last week, the envoys also observed silence for two minutes.
Posing a poignant question, Nigerian High Commissioner Sola Enikanolaiye said "do black Africans have any great future in the country, beyond education, exchange of skills. Will it not be best for them to acquire these skills and move on to other countries? I regret I do not have an answer to this question.
