Understanding this quote
The speaker calls for scattered people or forces to be gathered into a united effort. Africa is presented as the most favorable place for that gathering, described as a “rallying-ground.” The quote therefore links collective strength with shared focus: what is divided may become more effective when brought together around a common place or cause.
