Claim 1: “Achille Mbembe tells #F24Spotlight Africa must build not on the basis of what it lacks, but on the basis of what it already owns.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results confirm Achille Mbembe's general philosophy regarding African futures and agency, none of the provided evidence snippets contain the specific quote or the mention of '#F24Spotlight'.
