Abstract

This essay takes a critical look at Sub-Saharan Africa's debt problem; explores conflicting claims by all stakeholders with respect to the debt issue; analyzes past trends in decision with respect to the problem; and considers the entire picture in the context of likely outcomes in future. In the end, recommendations and suggestions are made with a view to address the common interest of all. It is proposed that a world of human dignity would only be achieved if the barriers to the achievement of all human rights especially economic, social and cultural are removed through cooperation and economic integration by all the states of the world.
