Jawad Chafil is from Settat, in the North African Kingdom of Morocco, and has a decade of experience in the Asia Pacific. As the ALY North Africa coordinator, he is African and proud, and sees himself as a strong liberal, who believes in equal opportunity, individual freedoms, the acceptance of others, multiculturalism and the need for south-south cooperation. Jawad believes that Africa needs strong economies with good governance systems that will guarantee fairness and opportunity for all Africans. Jawad is also cautious that there is a soft populist revolution sweeping around the world and this is becoming a real threat. It is time for liberals to stand up because only liberals can work to increase Africa’s prosperity to promote a liberal world.
