She gave a speech in which she stated that "Africa will develop by itself through healthy collaborations, through our strength of innovation and creation"1 . Through this speech, the Burkinabé speaker illustrates the vision of young Africans regarding the dynamics of development in Africa. It is the aspiration to an emancipated development, based on healthy cooperation relations, especially economic, between the European and African continents. She denounces the current way in which European companies manage people and projects in formerly colonized African countries.If the young woman denounces the mode of cooperation so far in place between the two continents, it is because in the European conception, the African continent has often been perceived through a utilitarian prism: sometimes a reserve of manpower, sometimes a pit full of raw materials, the perception of this continent by foreigners is distinguished by a particularly utilitarian vision. It should also be noted that French policy in Africa is often justified by its own interests, considering for example an interventionist policy as an indirect defense against terrorism or immigration. Europe and Africa thus share a stormy past, marked by this dichotomy between European and African development over the centuries, which taints their present relations. This speech by Eldaa Koama during the Africa-France summit is a good reflection of the problems perceived by a part of the African population.
