💡Thought-Provoking Read Alert! 💡 I recently came across an intriguing article that I felt compelled to share. It raises an important question: Should we be asking why Europe needs Africa or why Africa needs Europe? More importantly, can we build cooperation between Africa and Europe by leveraging both continents’ strengths to identify converging interests, compatible visions, and potential synergies? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! https://lnkd.in/edPr97c8

In November 1884 the Berlin Conference took place. Exactly 140 years later the world revisits this peculiar and impactful gathering. Now, we can safely say that the dust has settled. We know the story surrounding this past event, so let's use today to spark up a conversation around how Africa redefines and shapes itself moving forward. What can Africans and the rest of the world do TODAY to redress the flaws left from the Berlin Conference? History is important, but it's not everything. We think that it's better for us to use our time and resources to explore building a new, better-suited and more dynamic Africa for present and future generations, rather than revisit the trauma caused by the ghosts of the past. #140Years #FutureAfrica #UnitedAfrica #BerlinConference #CongoConference https://lnkd.in/dV9RRy4p

Another was my #Algeria, #BurkinaFaso, #Chad, #Mali, #Morocco, #Niger, #Senegal, and #Sudan analysis for the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

As countries across Africa commemorate Africa Day with the theme - Celebrating Past Successes While Building Towards the Future, it is a good opportunity to look at the determining factors that have major roles to play in building towards the future in Africa while we celebrate our past successes. One of those future determining factors is a Unified, interoperable and resilient internet. However, across the vast and diverse continent of Africa, the promise of a seamless digital future is often marred by the spectre of internet fragmentation. This article by our Senior Programmes Officer, Ihueze Nwobilor looks at the factors that have contributed to the different forms of the manifestation of Internet fragmentation(Challenges)  in the African context and will go further to proffer solutions towards addressing these challenges. https://lnkd.in/eqWAygBx
