Theme: The Challenge for Africa

Sub-themes:

The elite destroyed the education system in Nigeria to ensure that the citizens are denied the knowledge of the Science of Learning. Learning leads to understanding. Those who take time to study phenomena end up telling the world the direction to go. This form of learning is seen in the study of certain lions in the heart of nature.

The Challenge for Africa is a thought-provoking and insightful book written by Wangari Maathai, a renowned Kenyan environmentalist, political activist, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. In this book, Maathai addresses the multifaceted challenges facing the African continent and offers her perspectives on how these challenges can be met through sustainable development, good governance, and environmental conservation.

What is unnerving is how the vast and resource-rich landscapes of Africa, abundant with minerals crucial for global industries, have unfortunately become arenas of protracted conflicts. These conflicts, fueled by a complex interplay of foreign interests and collaboration with local actors, not only disrupt the socio-economic fabric of affected regions but also contribute to broader geopolitical tensions.

The Looting Machine by Tom Burgis is a critically acclaimed investigative work that delves into the complex and often murky world of resource exploitation in Africa. Tom Burgis, a British investigative journalist and Financial Times correspondent, explores how the vast wealth of Africa, in the form of natural resources like oil, minerals, and land, has often been a source of exploitation, corruption, and conflict.
