The very best of the world’s best have discovered a way to develop Africa: Way Omega. Now Africa’s heads of state are at a summit to approve it as their common development strategy. If they do, it promises Africa will start developing immediately. Unknown to the summit are several aggrieved conspirators who are plotting to defeat Way Omega and replace it with a rival strategy: Path Alpha. Their path, they say, is the only way to develop Africa. Should the summit still approve Way Omega, or should it turn around and approve Path Alpha instead? ‘Fathers of Nations’ is a satire on contemporary African politics.
