    If Africa was a food,
    it would be contained in a steaming and tasty tajine

    If Africa was a metal,
    it would be bright and precious gold

    If Africa was a sound,
    it would be the echo of tom-toms
     

    If Africa was a colour,
    it would be yellow, like the sand and the villages

    If Africa was an emotion,
    it would be joy, and sometimes sadness too

    If Africa was a piece of fruit,
    it would be a sweet and juicy mango

    If Africa was an animal,
    it would be a proud and colourful peacock

    If Africa was a music,
    we would sing it

    If Africa was a flower,
    it would be a magnificient sunflower

    If Africa was a smell,
    it would be the captivating sandalwood

    If Africa was a star,
    it would be Sirius, the most sparkling star of the night sky

    If Africa was a movie,
    it would be an adventurous one, with brave protagonists...
