Africa has every opportunity to use the ongoing changes in the international order to become a more influential global player. The African continent, which has nearly 20% of the world’s population and 30% of the world’s mineral reserves, continues to remain on the periphery of the global economy. It accounts for less than 3% of […]

From slavery to neocolonialism, via the slave trade and colonialism, mercantilist Europe built its wealth by plundering Africa and reifying its people.

Since time immemorial, a basic principle of law has dictated that one should never be both judge and party. Yet […]

This incident is not merely a diplomatic incident, but a striking example of the new balance of power between Africa and the former colonial powers.
