dc.descriptionThe Issue 2858 of West Africa Magazine (week ending 24th March 1972) journeys through post-colonial identity and pragmatism. Published in London and Nigeria, it spotlights Zaire’s radical “authenticity” push under Mobutu, urges African states to merge airlines for trade wins, and reviews an insider’s Biafra memoir. Plus: critique of Pompidou’s Niger visit. Key stories: Zaire dives into “authenticity” (Zaire’s quest…), ditching colonial relics for cultural roots; “Encouraging inter-African trade” advocates regional airline mergers to boost connectivity. Books praises N.U. Akpan’s Working for Ojukwu for unflinching Biafran honesty. Elsewhere, Niger: The French connection slams media silence on Pompidou’s opaque Niger agenda. A cerebral, urgent issue – Africa redefines itself, one airline merger at a time.
dc.description.abstract■ Zaire's quest for authenticity: Sometimes in the middle of last year the emphasis in what was then still Congo-Kinshas seemed to change ■ Encouraging inter-African trade: African government will sooner or later have to consider the feasibility of amalgamating existing African airline on a regional basis ■ Books and publications: Working for Ojukwu- The struggle for secession 1966-1970 by N. U. Akpan ■ Niger: The French connection- A number of aspects of the visit of President pompidou to Niger were insufficiently dealt with
