#Martin_Luther_King_Jnr., Pan-African
▻http://africasacountry.com/2017/01/martin-luther-king-jnr-pan-african
Last night, on the eve of Martin Luther King Jnr. Day, an official holiday here in the U.S., I felt the impulse to go in search of references to MLK’s engagement with the African continent. Starting from when he was a guest of Prime Minister Kwame Nkrumah at #Ghana’s independence in March 1957, where he […]

#Africa makes us* look better
▻http://africasacountry.com/2016/12/africa-makes-us-look-better
Africa makes us look better. Just by stepping off a plane we get richer, more interesting and prettier. In most cases our lighter skin and straighter hair earns us a special place in society. We receive a lot of attention, wanted or not, and feel like minor celebrities. When we are invited to sit at […]

The presidential term of #Joseph_Kabila, in power in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 2001, is suppose to end in less than two weeks on December 19th. Kabila is barred from running for another term. The next day Congo should have a new government. For the last year, opposition groups have demanded the electoral […]

In September 2014 streams of people flowed into #Kenya’s largest stadium, located a few miles from downtown Nairobi on the much-celebrated Thika Superhighway. This arena is typically host to major sporting events and political speeches; Barack Obama recently addressed “the Kenyan people” there. But on this day, it was the site of a more unorthodox […]

Last Friday, South Africa stunned the world when it announced it has officially initiated the process of withdrawing from the International Criminal Court (ICC). The idea of a mass pullout of African states from the Court has been hanging in the air for a few years now. The main point of contention has been the […]
#Africa : Why Western Economists Get It Wrong

Development #economics as a field of study was formally launched in the 1950s by the Afro-Caribbean economist Arthur Lewis who, out of necessity, wanted to understand how his own country, Saint Lucia, could transform from an agro-based economy into a modern industrial state (later, in 1979, Lewis was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics […]

Getting beyond the usual South African reporting on “Africa”

It is still not uncommon to hear South Africans say that they’re going on a business trip or holiday “in #Africa” – as if their own country lies on another continent. We could blame this attitude on our history. During Apartheid, #South_Africa was politically and socially isolated from the rest of the continent (South […]

African economies and the lack of a targeted industrial policy

In terms of economic development, most African countries are operating below the least developed country income threshold of $1,035 per person. While developing countries in East Asia, most importantly China, have been lifting millions of people out of poverty at break-neck speed, #Africa’s poverty rate has barely budged. In 2011, 69.5% of people in sub-Saharan Africa […]
